Today Winterthur is known for its world-class collection of decorative fine arts, its scholarship, and its remarkable garden but at its height Winterthur was also an internationally recognized farm. With a prize-winning dairy herd and farms that produced fruits, vegetables, poultry, and cut flowers Winterthur was a model of an American country place. With this history in mind, we have been bringing back select elements of the farm – sheep have returned to our pastures, barns have been restored, and this summer we have reintroduced vegetable growing. This Saturday, August 8, you will have the opportunity to purchase vegetables grown on the property at Winterthur’s Farmstand. Located along Rte. 52, just south of the Entrance Gate, the Farmstand will be open from 10 am to noon. The Farmstand will feature potatoes, squash, and greens grown at Winterthur and corn, tomatoes and melons grown at neighboring Hill Girt Farm. If you would like to reserve your bag of corn or tomatoes or ask any questions feel free to post a comment, I will pass your questions along to our farmers. We will continue to offer vegetables at the Farmstand as the season develops.
