HARVEST
At The Old Millpond Farm we have designed our land to create a diverse ecosystem. In doing so, you will find fruit, herbs, and vegetables - each in its season.
We have an extensive offering of heirloom and historically important varieties. We enjoy offering unique and unusual varieties and those that are valued in various parts of the world.
All additions to the farm are chosen for an interconnectedness and purpose in the ecosystem. In addition, qualities of taste, color, texture, disease and insect resistance, storage, and harvest season are valued.
