Day One is in the Books!

Man, I was so nervous about opening day on Monday! Turns out there was absolutely no need to worry. Everything went so well, and we had a great time!

In addition to seeing our regular farm customers on Monday, we also had a homeschool group come out for a little farm tour. They got to plant their own squash start to take home, visit the baby animals, and just play around the property like regular old farm kids. I absolutely love it! What a fun day we had. Thank you all for coming out!

Just a quick reminder that our next U-pick day is this Friday, June 19th!

As of right now, we are only open on Mondays and Fridays. However, please note that we will be closed on Friday, June 26th as we will be out of town for a family wedding.
Otherwise, mark your calendars for Mondays and Fridays every week! We can’t wait to see you this Friday.

U-Pick: Radishes ($2), Salad Turnips ($3), and maybe Baby Carrots ($3)
At the Stand: Cut greens ($5), Herbs ($2), Rhubarb ($5/lb), local meats, butter, kimchi, farm eggs, and Itty Bitty Farms pickles

Cherries and apricot pre-orders are still available on our website through the above link!

U-Pick Now Open Mondays and Fridays

Hey everyone! I can't believe opening day is almost here!

We are a bit behind schedule—Landon has been busy helping with the Farmers Market, and I’ve been feeling under the weather this week. But we love supporting the market and want to see it succeed, so sometimes you have to make sacrifices!
Regardless, we are moving forward with our opening day this Monday, June 15th! We ask for a little bit of grace as we finish getting everything together.

I checked the strawberry field today (or the "strawberry jungle," as I’m calling it right now due to the weeds!). While an early variety produced some berries last week, the bulk of our plants aren't fruiting heavily yet. I hate to underdeliver since I promised a mid-June harvest, but nature has its own timeline!

Here is what we will have ready for you this week

Radishes: $2/bunch
Salad Turnips: $3/bunch
Baby Carrots (Maybe): $3/bunch

Farm Stand Items: (Not U-Pick)

It’s a great place for kids to explore nature and get their hands dirty.

What a coincidence. As we were walking around yesterday, I said to Landon, we should see if we have a picture of Kerrigan here as a baby. Last night as I was scrolling facebook, I was given this photo as a memory from exactly 12 years ago.
I couldn't resist doing a side by side comparison. So much has changed in this little girl's life but one thing that will always be the same: she loves Tautphaus Park.
We will be out there again for the Idaho Falls Night Market at the Zoo/Tautphaus Park on June 16th from 5-9. We cant wait to see you!

We Are So Excited to See You!

We have been thinking for a long time about when to finally open the U-pick and we have finally settled on a date. Monday June 15th will be our first official open day of 2026! Our schedule is as follows:

Open Hours U-Pick- Mondays AND Fridays (June-November)
9:00 am- hour before sunset
Other days and times available BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
(literally just text me to see if we are home)

We WERE going to have the U-Pick open on Saturdays as well this year but after Landon's recent appointment to the IFFM board, we had to rethink our ability to be in multiple places at once. I hope our Mondays and Fridays schedule doesn't mess too much with anyone's plans.

The strawberries look like they are making good progress and will be ready to pick by then (though there might be limited availability for the first few weeks just to make sure they can keep up with demand)
We will also have other spring time veggies available like radishes, salad turnips, rhubarb, chives, and maybe a few cherry tomatoes.
As the season progresses, we will have much more to offer! My personal favorite, cucumbers, will be ready by late June and the peppers (who got horribly frozen last week) are making a good comeback.

As far as other farm news; we got the red potatoes planted, the russets are peeking out of the ground. The pumpkins sprouts are all up and almost ready to go into the ground. The peas are doing horribly and may need to be replanted. The okra looks fantastic (so exciting). The raspberries are actually doing so much better than I was expecting (although they probably won't be available for bulk picking). The summer squash and zucchini are all in the ground and doing well.
Phew, I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Anyways, we are sure excited to welcome everyone out to our little farm. We have been working really hard to make the place something we can be proud of these past few months and even though there is still a long way to go, I feel like we have something special here and we can’t wait to share it with you.
LOVE,
Emily Knowles
