Felsbeck Farm's online store is open June-August for orders to be picked-up at the farm by appointment
This summer was not one of our best, as we continue fighting aggressive insects, drought conditions and the occasional 'gully-washer' rains. The dry conditions and extreme heat reduced our productivity, causing us to terminate farmers' market activities early. Our only autumn products will be a few persimmons, limited quantities of bronze scuppernong grapes collards sold in 4 pound bundles beginning in September 2023, and hopefully in October/November, some American chestnuts and black walnuts, available for pickup at the farm, only. Some of the greenhouse stock of perennial and annual plants and potted herbs may still be available for sale into November. These are not listed on the website due to chancy availability and low volumes . Requests by e-mail (or snail mail) with deposit may be made for herbs or plants to be made available in spring 2024.
In addition to our vegetables , fruits & nuts in season, we grow a wide variety of culinary, traditional & uncommon medicinal herbs, with new starts through the spring and summer. We have fewer shrubs this year, but some butterfly bushes are available, as are spice bushes and heritage lilacs.
We have five fields for growing a variety of produce, normally, including sweet corn, tomatoes, sweet peppers, crookneck squashes and zucchinis, cucumbers, Irish potatoes, collards, cabbages, , and more, in their seasons, all of which are non-GMO and grown using organic methods. In the orchard & about the farm are heirloom and popular varieties of apples, cherries, plums, pears, peaches, paw-paws, persimmons, blueberries, raspberries, American chestnuts, pecans, black walnuts, English walnuts & hazelnuts. Availability depends upon the weather through the growing season,and upon drought, heat and high-water.
Late spring freezing weather also can limit availability of fruits, nuts and some veggies at our mountainside farm.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express credit/debit cards at our Cobblestone Farmers Market booth (June-August) or at farm pick-up. We do ask that minimum orders please total at least $1.00. PLEASE NOTE: WE NO LONGER TAKE PAYMENT VIA PAYPAL.
At the market booth, we accept cash, personal checks, and debit/credit card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. We ask that minimum orders paid by credit/debit cards at least total $1.00.
If you have placed an online order, but circumstances make pick-up at our booth impossible, or you wish to switch to a later pick-up date, PLEASE text 336-416-3272 for alternative arrangements BEFORE 6 PM on Friday for Saturday pick-up at the Cobblestone Market. Please also give us 24 hour notice, if possible, for delays in pickup at the farm.
Occasionally, we will have special items available with separate deadlines and limited volume for ordering, such as corn. Please work with us that we might provide you with the items you desire, especially when we do set a time limit for placing orders. Farm crop productivity is as capricious as the weather, and J. usually is the only person available to work through any issues that arise .
Felsbeck Farm has a booth at the Cobblestone market on Saturday mornings, (open 8.30 AM till Noon), from June through August. Please come by to visit. A variety of plants will be available at the market booth that are not listed on the website, in many cases.
Posted prices may be changed as expenses require, but we will give prior notice; orders placed between price changes will be charged at the original price, with a note issued of any imminent change. We attempt to keep our prices the same from one season to the next, but with so many crop failures from our seed and plant suppliers in recent years, and difficulties sourcing alternate organic seed, and other supplies, we have to 'go with the flow.'
Should you visit us at the farm, to pick up an order, or for a prearranged tour, we will be using face masks despite having been vaccinated. We ask that all farm visitors please wear masks covering nose and mouth securely. This is our farm policy Masks can be provided if you do not have one available. It would be a kindness if you will wear a mask when touring and shopping at the market.
We maintain and encourage not only our honey bee hives, but have mason bee 'homes' and encourage other beneficial insects through offering butterfly 'homes' and fall collection and spring redistribution of praying mantis egg cases, as well.
To be announced
We use approved organic methods, to grow our vegetables, herbs, and fruit, purchasing organic plants & seed. (The farm is in transition for organic certification.) We grow sustainably, in support of the land, while providing erosion control and continuity, so the spring-fed streams remain clear and life-sustaining.
