As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, life on the farm doesn’t slow down—it simply shifts gears. Autumn is one of our favorite times of year: quieter, softer, and full of preparations for what’s ahead. Here’s a look at what’s happening right now at Barberry Hill Farm.
While the fields rest, planning begins: seed catalogs spread across the kitchen table, greenhouse prep, and winter repairs. Farming is cyclical—every task in autumn is a quiet promise to spring.
Autumn is when we “feed the real livestock”—the worms and microbes in the soil. Compost, mulch, and organic matter are spread now to ensure next year’s fertility. It’s humble, unseen work, but it’s the foundation of every harvest.
More than anything, this season makes us grateful—for the land, the food it gives, and the community that supports us. Farming is about more than crops; it’s about connection and care. As we button up the fields, we invite you to stop by the stand, share your own fall garden traditions, or simply enjoy the beauty of the season with us.
