Baked goods including the crowd-favorite toasted coconut cupcakes will be available, and field flowers will also be for sale.

This spring as Kathy Augustin and “Farmer John” geared up for the reopening of their farm stand, they initially encountered a few challenges.

“Just as our planting season started, we had a lot of rain. Good one way, bad in another,” Kathy said. “We always need rain, but too much at a time makes it difficult for our tractor to work.”

For the tractor to operate efficiently, Kathy said it was necessary to wait for the soil to dry out.

She explained the process process requires patience. “It’s one you can’t rush,” she said.

Now, the wait for the reopening of Augustine’s Farm is over.

We’re dried out and on a roll,” Kathy said. “Planting is still going on, and the weather is just perfect. It looks like a great growing season ahead of us.”

Augustine’s Farm is located at 1332 King Street in Greenwich.
