Events

Saturday, May 3rd: D(herb)y Day

This Saturday is our D(herb)y Day Market, a celebration of the Kentucky Derby and National Herb Day. You can snap some photos with a pony starting at 10am and enjoying a refreshing mint julep mocktail while supplies last. While you’re there, make sure to pick up some herb transplants like basil, chamomile, and lavender from the Farm Stand for your home garden!

Saturday, May 10th: Mother's Day Bouquet Making Event

You’ll have the opportunity to craft your own bouquet to share with the special mothers in your life with vibrant flowers grown on Village Farm. We have several different varieties and colors of flowers so you can make your bouquet as unique as possible. Each bouquet costs $30 (or $24 if you’re a Harvest Green resident) and comes finished with paper wrapping a ribbon bow. This event will begin at 9am and last until our flower supply is gone so we recommend getting there early!

Crop of the Month: Tomatoes

Tomatoes are back in season at the Farm Stand! We're currently harvesting a mix of cherry and slicing tomato varieties with paste and Roma types coming within the next 1-2 weeks. To preserve the flavor of your tomatoes, we highly recommend storing them on your counter rather than the fridge. Here are some recipes to lend culinary inspiration:

• Fresh Tomato Tart with Basil Pesto and Mozzarella

• Braised Tomatoes with Burrata

• Salmon with Tomato Lemon Sauce

• Cherry Tomato Couscous Salad
