Farm Stand Update

Our variety changes daily as we near the end of the season for some produce and approach the beginning for others.

 

Hours: 7am – 10am  Monday – Saturday
Currently the following produce is available:

 

Can you say “Mmmmmm” ?? – Joe can! The youngest May enjoys some sweet corn, from May Farms. This was his very first ear and it’s obvious that he’s enjoying it. We hope you enjoy watching.

Pick up some sweet corn from the farm stand while we still have it! Looks like we only have about one week left of the good stuff! Don’t miss out.

Cantaloup is coming in now and is really sweet too!

Also available:

Acorn Squash

Yellow Squash

Zucchini

Red Onions

White Onions

Beets

Jalapeno Peppers

Anaheim Peppers

Bell Peppers

Potatoes

Ask about early pumpkins & corn stalks for Fall decorating! If you get them now they will be nice and fresh for the whole season rather than dry and wilty!

Garden Produce from May Farms

These vegetables came fresh from our garden today – Limited quantities and variety available as it is early in the season.  Byers has a lot of activities going on for the 4th of July including a parade in the morning on Front St.  and rodeo in the afternoon over at the Quint Valley Fair Grounds.

Have  a Happy and SAFE 4th of July!

 

On a day like today when nothing sounds better than a dip in the pond it only seemed fitting to visit the ducks and geese. As we head over to the pond we spot an egg a duck dropped on their way to the water. The ducks and geese make their way to the edge to greet us from the far side of the pond. The geese make a loud “HONK HONK” noise and the ducks a more reserved “meck meck meck” as if to express their excitement with visitors. “Come in! Sit down! Can we get you some… water?”  Or maybe it’s more of a demanding “THROW US SOME BREAD LADY!”  We throw in pieces of bread crumbs … The larger geese make it known that they are first to the rations while the ducks just hope something is thrown in their vicinity so they can avoid being “nipped” by George or Gracie – the two large Geese. We throw pieces toward the back so the less aggressive get a few bites too. Even a few fish skim the surface to snag a nibble.

 

As many of you may know we planted thousands of lavender plants 2 years ago along the hillside west of the pond. This lavender will not only be aesthetically pleasing but manage erosion along the hill. The lavender will take a few years to reach maturity but once the plants are mature we will be able to provide you several products made from the lavender which will be available in our country store. We’ve got plans to produce lavender honey, lavender tea, lavender lotion, lavender soap, lavender cream, lavender sachets, lavender spray, lavender truffles and the list goes on!

May Farms GardenFarmers MarketProduce Stand Update

We’re starting to plant the garden and we’ve got cantaloupe, onions, carrots, zucchini, summer squash, acorn squash and lemon cucumber seeds all in the ground. It’s awfully windy out on the Eastern plains today so we will resume planting when we feel like we won’t blow away!

We will continue to plant in the coming weeks and plan to have fresh produce available in a couple of months. We look forward to providing fresh produce to your family and seeing you here at the farm. Byers is only about 30 minutes from Denver and an easy drive on the highway. We hope you can make time to come visit us this summer!

 
May Farms portable herbs at a restaurant near you!

May Farms will be delivering portable herb gardens which have been planted and cared for at May Farms, to two local restaurants who take pride in serving only the freshest of products to their customers. Supporting local farmers is important to our livelihood and our economy and we want to say THANK YOU!

Sporting News Grill on Tower Road and Fuel Café Downtown purchase fresh produce through out the growing season from May Farms. These portable herb gardens, which contain mint, sage, parsley, basil and cilantro allow chefs to cut what they need right from the plant without having to do the labor intensive work of planting and growing ahead of time. The portable gardens are easy to manage and care for once they are established which we do right here at our farm! We are currently caring for these gardens and should be able to deliver them soon!

Sporting News Grill and Fuel Café prepare many meals using fresh produce from May Farms including swiss chard, spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, radishes, corn, cucumbers, beets, peppers, carrots, squash and more!

These produce items will all be available at May Farms’ Farmer’s Market this summer. Stay tuned for garden updates and produce availability.

 

Last week our good friend Quentin Smith brought over 20,000 honey bees to our farm! Sounds a little crazy right?…  but bees are important to us and all farmers! These bees will not only collect lavender honey from our lavender field but pollinate our flowers and crops to ensure promising yields.

Many of the foods and crops we rely on need or, at the very least, benefit from bee pollination. Here’s a list of some of those crops.
