Our Meet The Farmer Event!


Over a dozen people met our farmer, Cheryl Rogowski, at St. Paul's Church in Parkchester on Saturday morning, April 21.    Cheryl brought some fantastic pestos and spreads from the Rogowski Farm's Black Earth line and a couple of baskets full of Sweet Potato Bombs made with sweet potatoes grown on the farm. 

Cheryl told us everyone at the Farm is excited about the new growing season, and a lot of work has gone into rebuilding from last year's Tropical Storms Irene and Lee and the Halloween snowstorm. Peas, onions, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, scallions and various colors of carrots are among the veggies growing for harvest in June.   Later in the summer, the farm will have tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squashes, basil, dill, turnips, snap beans, cabbages, kale and more.

There is still time to sign up to become a member of Parkchester CSA -- deadline is May 31.
