What’s Next from Hattie

Yes, I will be offering Gardening classes and Garden consulting in the new year. Although we will no longer farm our small market garden, I will continue to teach and offer assistance to local gardeners. For any of you who are currently engaged in vegetable gardening in your own spaces, or who would like to start, you may want to consider attending one of my Sustainable Gardening classes in the Spring. The classes are small and hands-on and have been very popular in the past.

Because I will have more time, I will also be available for on-site consulting and guidance throughout the growing season beginning in 2025. Stay tuned for more details in the new year and thank you for all of your support over the years.

Meanwhile, remember to come in to use up your CSA credits. We are closing our doors at the garden on Thursday, November 21, with our last HLFM appearance on Saturday, November 23.

Where to go during the winter months

We are recommending Dittmar Family Farms, run by Zach and Jenny Dittmar, as an option to be used during the off-season months for locally produced food. They utilize high tunnels to grow vegetables year-round. Zach and Jenny will be making weekly deliveries in the Lewes and Rehoboth area throughout the winter. Check out their website and sign up with your email address to receive news and updates.
