What’s Happening at Augustine’s Farm in November? A Lot!

Screen Shot 2014-11-04 at 12.27.38 PMFarmer John and Kathy said oftentimes people assume that November is a slow month on the farm, but it’s anything but slow. The farm stand remains open seven days a week from 9:00am until 5:00pm, with delicious fresh eggs from the farm, honey from Kathy’s bees, candles and fresh pressed cider.

The temperature is supposed to drop later this week, so why not stop and pick up some chestnuts to roast in the fireplace over the weekend.

There’s also a variety of fruit, including types of apples you may never even have heard of. We sampled the “Pink Lady” variety, which was crispy and sweet.

Linda’s fudge will be a fixture on the counter throughout the holidays, along with mini loaves of pumpkin and banana bread, caramel apples, brownies and pies in varieties including: apple, blueberry, cherry, coconut custard, pumpkin, pecan and pineapple!
