but in case you missed it, you can find us each saturday with our strange and colourful wares at the millerton market– and you may even spot a baby bunny or two at our smithereen stand.

if you’ve yet to visit the millerton market, put it on your to-do list this saturday. it is a lovely little town, with a dozen or so other wonderful vendors offering sweet-smelling baked goods, organic flour, handmade jewelry, pasture-raised meat, veggies and flowers + there is a new local musical artist each week.

for more info/directions, see the millerton farmer’s market homepage. market hours from 9am – 1pm. rain or shine.

see you there!

the fruits of our hand-dug labor are ripe and ready for your dinner tables.

to all you restaurants, grocers, and mothers– come hither! read on for our current organic bounty.. don’t forget, we do flowers too!

all around our little nook in the hudson valley, everything & everyone  is growing up with youthful ferocity–

the rain and sun gods have turned our once-seedlings into spritely green adolescents (and weeds! though thankfully no contest for our ninja hands and hula hoes),

the pigs have been upgraded to frolick in their spacious forest playground,

and the youngling kittens, rabbits, chicks, and ducks are getting faster, stronger,and braver each day.

like any wistful proud parents, we have been capturing our little farm as it grows– and if you haven’t already checked it out, see smithereen farm in action on our smithereen flickr page.

BUT WAIT– that’s not all– for more farm photos and to relive the greenhorn’s glorious goat-spit throwdown last weekend in brooklyn, check out the greenhorns’ own flickr HERE.

JUSTpicked strawberries are red & ready,

handpicked wild elderflowers beautiful and bottled into scrumptious syrup,

our baby angora wants to cuddle… 

and all of smithereen farm is chugging full speed ahead for the goat spit this saturday– hosted by the greenhorns!
