September:
Apples
are the fruit of the month.
Early in the month we have Gravensteins, an old fashioned favorite for sauce, pie, cider and fresh eating. Some
of the later varieties are Dayton, Spartan, Honeycrisp, Liberty, and Jonagold.
September is a prime time for u-picking zucchini, beans, carrots,
beets, and many other vegetables in our beautiful big,
gardens. Bella and Matia,
our Aussie/Border Collie farming companions may join you in your work. They love the beans!
September 27th, WSU Extension invites you to get a taste of farm
life on The Harvest Celebration Farm Tour. See for yourself where
farmers grow your local foods, raise farm animals and steward rural
and agricultural land in King County. It's fun! At Fall City
Farms, see a chef demo from Herban Feast Catering, talk to the
beekeepers and listen to the 'Spoonshine Duo', a folk, bluegrass
offshoot of 'Spoonshine'. (The whole band will be playing here on
October 18th.)
You can pick up a map of the tour at our farm, and
continue from there to a local goat dairy and Christmas tree farm.
October:
Open
every day beginning October 3rd. Please leave your pets at home.
The crisp clear
days of October are great for enjoying the fall colors on the farm. The sunflowers are still
in bloom, the pumpkins and gourds add great colors to the fields. Winter squash, ornamental corn and colorful potatoes brighten the autumn harvest table.
Try roasting some of our fingerling potatoes with some beautiful golden beets.
 As always, talking
to the animals and walking under the gourdwalk are favorite pastimes of many of our return visitors.
Take a friend home - make your own scarecrow!
Two large u-pick pumpkin patches open and ready for the great pumpkin hunters!
