A VERY NICE ARTICLE BY SHANNON KIRCH
Shannon Kirch, Cooperstown Farmers Market manager visited the orchard and wrote the following;
Fresh Vegetables
We offer a large variety of fresh vegetables throughout the season at our farmers markets and at the orchard.
Rent-a-Tree
If you or your family eat a lot of apples or process any apple products this is by far the least expensive way to go. The Rent-a-Tree program is not accepting any new contracts for the upcoming season.
Farm Safety Plan
A Farm Safety Plan is now implemented for any and all visitors to the orchard to enhance the safety of all concerned.
Enjoying the Harvest
FRESH FRUIT & FRESH VEGETABLES at any of our markets in Cooperstown (Sat 9 am to 2 pm) year round, or Oneonta (Sat 9 am to 12 pm) year round, or Delhi (Weds 9 am to 2 pm) June through early November.
CSA Customer comment:
"The Middlefield Orchard CSA is a way to provide healthy food for your family while supporting our local farmers and region. All the produce and fruits are fresh, sweet and flavorful. Favorites of ours are the blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Our family enjoys going out to the farm and hand-picking the raspberries, apples and pumpkins. Nate and I have done the math, and for the amount of produce and goods we receive it would be more than twice that at the store- and likely grown outside of our country and months old. You can bet we will be back for another summer and winter CSA again this year.
