Sassafras Farmstead

Life has been (extra) hectic since baby Ellis arrived (imagine that!). He was born a bit early which was during pivotal weeks in the season. Some things around the farmstead were done late and some things not at all. So...we're shifting our focus for the rest of the season.

After much thought and discussion, we decided to pull out of the markets early this year. We sincerely appreciate your support at Hops and Crops (Revelation Georgetown) and Tidal Market Delaware. Please continue to swing by the markets and support the other vendors. Buying local truly does make a difference!

Instead of the markets, we'll have some items available for direct sale on the farmstead. Follow our page to find out what's available and when. Also feel free to reach out via messenger.

In other news...

Another chicken harvest is in the books. We had 2 chicken harvests so far this year and 2 more to go. Our pre-order pasture-raised Non-GMO chicken sold out rather quickly this year. We will have some retail cuts available later on.

We're pre-selling free range turkeys for Thanksgiving again this year. We have a small quantity available and expect to sell out like we always do. Email us at [email protected] for more information.

Our CSA wraps up in early September. This was our first year doing a CSA and we're learning a lot as we go. Thank you to our first CSA customers!

Today and tomorrow we have rain, rain, and more rain!

Lots of thunder accompanying the downpours. This growing season seems especially tough with hardly any rain for many weeks, now with flooding rain. Add in the extreme heat and you have yourself a challenge. Always learning something and figuring out how to adapt. Some things we'll repeat next year and some things we'll never do again. 😆

Stay safe out there!

Come see us and the other great vendors. Grab a cold craft beverage from the tap room and peruse the market. We'll have the first harvest of our potatoes, garlic and onions along with all of the good stuff for your furry friends.
