Market truck loaded with sunflowers
Out standing in the field!
Harford Farm is a small family farm, NOFA-NY Certified Organic LLC, and sells vegetables, herbs and cut flowers at the Cooperative Farmers Market of Scranton on Fridays this July, and adding Mondays when we recover from the wet spring planting weather, hopefully by August. The market opens for 2011 on July 15.
We grow varieties for the best taste and color, not because they ship well. We're always trialing new varieties, but the old heirlooms are a particular favorite. Since I start tomato plants from seed in a passive solar greenhouse, I can grow tomatoes like Brandywine, Orange Banana, Cherokee Purple, and Green Zebra. I also grow rows of the favorite cherry (Sunsugar/Sungold) and every year try a few new types. Our other specialties are salad mix and a variety of greens all year, and baby summer squash in all colors and shapes. And of course there are the cut sunflowers and the wheatgrass.
The vegetables being a bit late in Susquehanna County, we often have a wide assortment of potted herbs and container plants early in the year. They get pushed off the truck as more vegetables and flowers mature, or once they're too big to carry around! We'll have sprouts (lentils, wheatgrass), potted herbs, flowers, foliage plants and sometimes landscaping shrubs.
As always, Geof and I welcome your suggestions, brochure requests, and offers to weed.
