You will see coolers and tables and crates and wagons full of freshly picked vegetables, sweet corn, colorful hanging flower baskets, tasty sweet strawberry baskets and a large assortment of plants ready for you to put into your favorite plot of soil at home. If you come to the stand and we are out of a particular item or you would like to purchase some of our fresh vegetables and berries in large quantities, let us know what you need and we can tell you when to expect availability.
Sweet Corn
Fort Vannoy Farms is growing 15 acres of Sweet Corn. We are proud of our reputation for having the Sweetest Corn around. We have even shipped our corn after an early morning picking to some of our customers' relatives in the East, so they could "taste what real sweet corn is all about!" August 1 marks the date our Sweet Corn is ready to be sold, so mark your calendar.
Vegetables
There are 27 acres currently planted with an amazing variety of vegetables, melons, cold crops, winter and summer squash, sweet peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers and much more. Everything from Asparagus to Zucchini ! As one crop goes out of season there are many others that replace it. We invite you to come to the Farm Stand and buy throughout each growing season and try to purchase every letter of the alphabet in farm fresh produce!
Strawberries
The first ten thousand strawberry plants were put into the ground in the Spring of 2010. This heavenly scented field of strawberry shortcake dreams will be expanding yearly to meet the sweet tooth needs of our farm visitors. It was extra good planning by the farmers to place the berries so close to the milking barns and all of the whipped cream a strawberry could use!
Greenhouse Starter Plants
Fort Vannoy Farms is host to over 7200 square feet of greenhouses that run all year round. These hoop houses produce the starts for all of our plantings and extra for you and your annual gardening needs. In addition to the vegetable starts, there is a large assortment of stunning hanging baskets for both full sun and for shade lovers. We are very proud of our hanging strawberry baskets and even know a customer or two who have purchased the hanging baskets so make their own jam!
Ornamentals
The farm stand also offers bushels of decorating ideas for your home for the celebrations that season all of our lives throughout the year. You can find corn stalks, funny lumpy gourds, pumpkins, Indian corn, and many other harvest time treasures to take home with you.
Buy locally and support your community farmer. You will taste the difference!
