Hope everyone survived this "summer of weather and the little bit of snow we received last week"!

Wow, what a great season for our produce stand!!!! We have now closed our produce stand for the year. We want to thank each and every one of you so much for your patronage, comments, and notes of encouragement! We are already ordering our seeds for next year, any requests for our produce garden?

As always all plants are sown, grown and tended by owner George Sheldrake and the crew of Earlybird Farm. Earlybird Farm has been family owned for 2 generations and son George's years of dedication and experience make him one Central New York's premier growers!

Thanks again and have the best Thanksgiving, Merriest Christmas and Happiest New Year! We’ll see you next year!

George and Crew

Our Farm stands opens the second or third week in July when the first sweet corn is ready to pick.  Our corn is always fresh as it is picked once or twice daily.  Besides the numerous varieties of sweet corn that we offer, we also grow and sell other vegetables and fruits.  Among them are; Bell Peppers, Hot Peppers, Slicing Cucumbers, Burp less Cucumbers and Pickling Cucumbers.

Our honeydews, cantaloupes and watermelons are sweet and delicious.We also grow heirloom tomatoes, slicing tomatoes, plum tomatoes and cherry and grape tomatoes. 

We have a nice selection of yellow summer squash along with green and yellow zucchini.  Lebanese zucchini (cousa) is a sweet and delicious variety that only we grow and sell.

Cut flowers that are sold by the stem.

Later in the season we add winter squash, and pumpkins to the stand.  The produce stand works on the honor system.  We generally close for the season around November 1st.

Come, be a part of the Early Bird Farm Experience!
