Market News
Last Traditional Season Market - This weekend marks the end of our traditional season at the CFM. Being a truly "Sell what you grow" market means that with this colder weather comes a slow reduction in the amount of produce available. Thankfully, we'll still have a few winter farmers and plenty of delicious baked goods and food vendors to keep you happy over the winter months.
This will be the last market until next spring for LB's Farm, The Refreshery, and Gill & Spore Mushroom Farm, so make sure you stop by and say goodbye until next year.
Later Hours Start Next Week- The end of our traditional season this week means our winter season starts next week (November 7th). A reminder that our hours during winter switch from 8am-12pm to 9am-12pm.

Our first-generation farming family includes (but is not limited to) Austin Genke, his wife Dani, and his sister Samantha. Presently, a young and energetic second generation of kiddos is along for the ride.
We take inspiration from small European farmstead creameries. Our Farmstead Goats milk is treasure to create cheeses with and mix with fresh, rich Jersey cows milk from our friends’ small family-owned dairy, who also raise their cows with the greatest of care and highest standards.
