2012 Planting plan

For those who are already whetting their palettes for the upcoming growing season, here’s some of what we’re planting and the estimated harvest times.

We tithe about 20% of each harvest to local charities and families in nutritional poverty.  We sell primarily to local chefs and restaurants who are promoting sustainable agriculture and healthy menus.  However, you are welcome to come to The Samaritan Women Farm on Saturdays and purchase fresh-picked produce for your own family.  Our produce stand operates between 9:00am and 12:00pm.
