Mid June - the start of farmers market season. After ten good years of marketing and meeting new friends, Foxbarn Farm will be on the sidelines this year. Thanks again to the market managers, vendors, and customers who kept our summers busy and enjoyable. See you at the market!

After a long dry spell, its finally raining - just as the last of the spring planting is finished. I wish that meant that we could relax for a bit.

Spring snuck up on us this year - we're glad to see that its finally arrived!

Thank you to all our wonderful customers who've made our summers interesting and enjoyable for so many years.

Great corn, tomatoes, Carlisle Honey, butternut squash and pumpkins. Kale, lettuce, onions, potatoes, tomatillos, peppers and eggplant. The final Chelmsford market is this week (Oct 2nd) - stop at Foxbarn Farm for a last chance for our fresh-picked produce.

Come to the Chelmsford market this week - only two left this season. Foxbarn Farm will have a sale on Carlisle Honey, pumpkins, butternut squash and broom corn for your autumn decorating. See you at the market!

For 9/18 the corn will be 'Providence' - long ears, great flavor - always a favorite. Sugar (pie) pumpkins, butternut and delicata squash, plum tomatoes, tomatillos - tasty early autumn vegetables. Our kale, lettuce, garlic, and multi-color zinnias should be hits as well.
