Don't miss out!

Arthur's been out in the orchard picking apples as each variety ripens in its own time. The cooler is getting full and we're planning a cider pressing next week. Ordering details to follow.

This ridiculous-looking plastic watering device belonged to Grandma Thelma Metzger, no doubt from the 70s when avocado was all the rage. Read more about it here: https://metzgerfarm.blogspot.com//06/that-time-of-year.html

Since writing this blog post, I found classified ads offering Early Rose seed potatoes in old editions of the Enterprise. Sellers had familiar names like Glassmire and Blass. https://metzgerfarm.blogspot.com//03/early-rose-potato.html

Spring! https://metzgerfarm.blogspot.com/

Such an inspiring message!

It's been a busy week as we logged on to our computers to take part in the PASA Sustainable Agriculture 2021 Virtual Conference. It wraps up today with a keynote featuring Robin Wall Kimmerer. We're both working our way through "Braiding Sweetgrass," taking the time to savor and appreciate its lessons.

We had planned one more trip to the cider mill this fall but the spike in coronavirus cases in Potter and surrounding counties changed that plan. We officially closed the farm stand yesterday but we have lots of wonderful varieties of our USDA Certified Organic apples in the cooler. Please call 814-274-8004 or message here to make arrangements to have a safe transfer. FMNP checks can be used until November 30.

I threw some old pumpkin seeds in the ground and this is the only pumpkin that was jack-o-lantern worthy thanks to the deer, squirrels and chipmunks!

The last half-gallon of cider from Wednesday's pressing sold this afternoon and we are sold out! We will likely do our final pressing of the season on Thursday. If you're interested in reserving yours, please send a message or call 274-8004. It freezes beautifully for a special treat - especially heated with mulling spices on a cold winter day.
