"Crooked Carrot Farm" - 5 new articles
Hello, and welcome back to the Crooked C...
 Septembe 20, 2008 Welcome to Fall!
Quite a bit has happened since we last sent out a blog (but not out in the fields because it has been so hot). Seedlings are being transplanted into the ground and we are looking forward to a great harvest. We are not planting at Crooked Carrot this fall. All of our farming is currently at Agriptopia (northwest corner of Higley and Ray). While Agritopia has always grown their produce organically, we are now in the process of becoming a certified organic farm. That is exciting for us. We don't have an exact date that the farm stand will open here in Agritopia but we are estimating mid October. Even more great produce than what was available at Crooked Carrot but grown with the same care and attention. We will send out another blog when we have exact dates for the opening. In the meantime, Agritopia has an e-mail alert of their own and you can get on that e-mail list by sending a request to gayle@agritopia.com. We are setting up an Agritopia blog and will let you know when that is available, but for now it is still via e-mails. If you haven't visited us here at Agritopia, please do. It is a beautiful, peaceful farm. We are not closing our Crooked Carrrot Farm down. We expect to plant there in the spring but everything is still fairly tentative. Our farm stand at Crooked Carrot will not be open at all this fall - we are sorry for any inconvenience but the drive to Agritopia will be well worth it. We hope you all had a great summer and we look forward to seeing many of you here at our new home.  The Furlongs  Update
Clark has been hired on as the head farmer at The Farm @ Agritopia in Gilbert. Agritopia is a housing development located at the northwest corner of Higley and Ray that has incorporated a farm into the development. He will be managing both Agritopia and Crooked Carrot farms as one. We haven't quite worked out how the farmstand at Crooked Carrot will fit into this yet. It is our desire, if practical, to reopen the stand in the fall. For those of you who live close or are willing to make the drive, the Agritopia farm stand is currently open on Saturdays from 8:00 - 1:00. You can check out their website at:
Also please sign up for Agritopia's e-mail updates. Just send an e-mail to Gayle at gayle@agritopia.com.
We appreciate all our loyal customers this past year - we hope to see many of you at Agritopia. Please feel free to e-mail us with any questions. We will keep you posted through our blog about what is going on at Crooked Carrot Farm.
Thank you~

 Update
Wow - it has been a while since we have sent out a blog. We've been a busy family and farm. You may have noticed the continuining improvements to the front corner of our farm. We welcome Greene Nursery as they are a big help with out compost and other farm related items.
We are continuing to tweak our farm stand hours of operation. We want to provide safety for our honor system while also allowing for ease of access for you all. While we will be open at dawn today (Saturday), our hours are still 10 AM until 6 PM daily, closed Mondays.
If the box is open with the "CLOSED" sign in place please do not leave money. If need be you can swing by and pay again when the farm stand is open or you can send us a check to:
Crooked Carrot Farm 1541 S. Malabar Lane Gilbert AZ 85296

We make an effort to stock the stand most every morning so that you will have the freshest veggies and herbs. We round all our prices down to the nearest quarter to make things easier for you (and us) as we do not make change. Checks are accepted. 
Thank you for supporting our farm stand and giving us the opportunity to farm! Have a great second half of May. The Furlongs  More Recent Articles |
