Vollmer Farm



I don't know why it's taken me SO long to post about our favorite local farm. We discovered Vollmer Farm last summer and have been back at least 3 times. It's a little trek from our house but it's so worth it. They are about to open for the strawberry picking season and if you're within an hour's drive, I HIGHLY recommend checking them out! They have a market with their fresh (almost exclusive organic) produce as well as a shop with yummy jams, jellies and other tasty goodies. And finally, they have an ice cream shop with delicious homemade ice cream (and other tasty treats).

This afternoon we're planning to drive out and pick up a bag of their specialty lettuce, some fresh from the field asparagus and maybe even strawberries. I am so excited I can barely contain myself. This year they have also added 2 goats to welcome visitors. I openly admit that if we ever have land I want a couple of goats and a few chickens. Seriously.

That looks like so much fun. I love finding places like that and I wish I lived closer to make the trip.

There is an apple orchard near us that I plan on visiting often this fall.

Have fun and enjoy your fresh produce!

How funny that we both posted about that farm. I was so impressed- wow, could I spend some money there! And, I too could easily have some chickens and goats one day!
