It’s March and we are gearing up for planting crops for this season!
It’s time to sign up for our Free Choice Farm Share Program
Send an email through the Contact Us Tab and we will send you a Free Choice Farm Share brochure to you to explain the program with a sign-up form.
Our Free Choice Farm Share program is a flexible pre-paid way to get what you want, in the quantities that you want, at the time that you want them. It can be used at both our Farm Store when we are open during the summer and at our booth at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market from early May - late October.
The Berry Patch is recruiting local workers for our summer work team. If you have a positive attitude, good work ethic, attention to detail, and like to work in the fresh air, click on the Employment Tab for more information on what the job duties will be and how to apply.
We are the first farm in the country to cover our entire blueberry and raspberry plantings with a fine mesh netting to exclude a tiny invasive insect that would ruin our crops or require us to spray every 5-7 days. Dale-Ila is the creator of this innovative technique and is teaching growers throughout the country that this technique works while providing pesticide-free berries to you!
If you are a commercial grower that is interested in obtaining netting, please send us an email through the “Contact” tab above.
Thank you for your support this year!
Located in Stephentown, NY and at the Troy Farmer’s Market

26 weeks a year, we have freshly harvested vegetables, berries, and transplants for sale at the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market every Saturday. The Summer Market is located along River Street, Broadway, and Second Street in Troy, and is open May through October. Our booth is at the corner of Second St and Broadway. We hope to see you!
