I'm finding it difficult to wrap my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! We are rushing headfirst into winter and I'm not mad about it, but because of the yearly pie-baking madness, I feel like I am never quite able to fully settle into the season. But in reality I couldn't be more fully immersed in the season because of the pie-baking madness! This is the fourth year I've been making pies as an independent baker for holiday celebrations, and it's truly humbling that many of the people who ordered from me the first year are still ordering from me this year. I'm grateful to be able to make delicious things for you all to share with your friends and families.
If you haven't yet been inundated by emails or Facebook posts from me, you can still order pies. Just click the tab above that says Thanksgiving Pies! and fill out the order form. You can also send me an email directly, give me a call at (814) 383-2656 or send me a DM on our Facebook page.
In other farm news, potato harvest is FINALLY complete! The boys finished up last week while I was out of town for a few days. It's a good thing too because the temperature outside has really started to drop. As I type, the boys are getting prepped to make some sauerkraut, so I apologize to you folks who I sadly informed that we wouldn't have kraut for the holidays this year. If all goes well, we should have sauerkraut for Christmas and New Years!
Pretty soon Mark will be on a roll harvesting field corn. There are some partial fields of what we call, "down corn," which are just stalks that have been knocked over by heavy winds and rains. It's been one of the most difficult growing seasons the farm has ever experienced. All in all we lost around 5 acres of potatoes because of flooding (we grow between 30-35). But when we hear stories about how much worse some of our fellow farmers are off, like the farm we buy seed potatoes from near Coudersport that lost about 20 acres, it makes us feel grateful. We had loss, but it can always be worse I suppose.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank all of our customers for sticking with us through this challenging year! Outdoor market season has officially come to a close, but the indoor season is shaping up to be a good one. You can find us all winter-long at The Boalsburg Farmers Market in St. John's United Church of Christ off of Church Street in Boalsburg. If I don't see you before, Happy Thanksgiving!
