UMass Cold Spring Farm

Today I visited the UMass Cold Spring Farm in Belchertown and it's beautiful! The cover crops are buckwheat and sunflowers. Both have pretty flowers.

I went to pick up a box of peach seconds for a friend who had to be at work. It was so heavy, I couldn't carry it! She's going to make peach jam and freeze some of the peaches.






Believe it or not, that's hydrangea above.









It was a lovely summer's day in the low 80s with a nice breeze. We walked around for a bit enjoying the day and the farm. 








Nancy W. said these little plums are tart.








Only a few of the apples are ripe. There are many varieties.














I had never seen doughnut shaped peaches!




The box above is plastic and what they use for the harvest.
