Farm fresh from Winterthur

Winterthur Museum is serving up produce and other edibles for locavores in northern Delaware as the Winterthur Farmstand springs up for the season on Saturday, July 7.

The Farmstand is located off Route 52, just south of the main entrance. Hours are 9 a.m.-1 p.m., every Saturday through Sept. 29. And you don’t have to pay to get in.

Vendors include:

• H. G. Haskell’s SIW Vegetables, purveyor of just about any veggie you can imagine plus jams, sauces, apple butters, and, of course, Haskell’s acclaimed corn and tomatoes.

• Mushroom Café, for local mushrooms and mushroom soup, homemade scones, cookies, and drinks.

• The Fudge Drum, for homemade fudge and handmade birdhouses.

• Happy Cat Farm, on Winterthur land, sells more than 200 varieties of heirloom tomatoes, peppers, and other veggies, all grown without pesticides.

Items will vary depending, on what produce is at its peak each week. For updates about what’s fresh, email winterthur.org/subscribe.
