Harvest Calendar - From Fog and Thistle Farm In Germantown




I was browsing the farm's website and found this great drawing - I had to share it. Availability varies a little throughout our region due to soil type, micro-climates, farmer's favoring different varietals, and the lengthening of the season through the use of hoop houses and row covers, etc. Obviously some farms simply focus on growing certain crops, but this should give you an idea of the crop diversity month to month in our area. Fog and Thistle grows an amazing range of produce. If you find yourself in the Germantown area you should stop in and check out the operations at the Germantown Community Farm, Fog and Thistle, and Fellow Worker's Farms.






Some Kale and Spinach from the Kilpatrick's wilting down to accompany the delmonico steaks from a 1/4 cow we bought from the Grant's of M&A Farm in Fort Edward. The Grant's sell eggs, beef and pork at the Saratoga Farmer's Market Wednesdays and Saturdays.
