We're so excited to share a new installation at the farm, inspired by our 'Strawberry Fields Forever' Strawberry Festival theme this year. Our new 'Field of 1,000 Hearts' covers a portion of the farm with exactly 1,000 red and pink wooden hearts. It's a beautiful backdrop for fun summer photos, and we've decided to make it a philanthropic event as well. There will be a $2 entrance fee for each person wishing to use the Field of 1,000 hearts for photos. All of the proceeds from each month's entrance fees will be collected in a large mailbox staked by the [...]
Wow – can you believe it’s the end of April?! Time sure does fly, especially right now when there’s not a lot of definition between one day and the next. We wanted to post a quick update about what’s happening at the farm with the current pandemic situation — what we’re still offering, what has been put on hold, and our plans for the coming months. CSA This year we are especially excited to be offering a CSA program, as the need for fresh, local, accessible produce has become so great. We already have over 30,000 veggies planted in our [...]

We have been very lucky with the weather this year, as it has been bright and sunny, especially on the weekends. Apple picking has brought in many folks to pick pumpkins and enjoy all of the other offerings the farm provides this time of year. Our Halloween Character Hayride is in full swing with Bert and Ernie, Big Bird and many others greeting children and Trick or Treaters as they ride through the Farm. [...]
Fall is coming! As summer starts to wind down, we’re enjoying an abundant, very sweet and very tasty crop of peaches and plums. We’ll soon wrap-up our successful Whim Dinner Series, and while it’s always bittersweet to move out of this season, we have much to look forward to. The apple trees are laden with fruit, and in fact due to ample rain, heat and sunshine these last months, it looks to be one of the best apple crops we’ve ever had! Our animal area has some new additions, including Australian Swans, Nubian goats, Heritage Breeds of Turkeys, and Muscovey [...]
Mid-Summer Updates: Staff, Crops, Whim and More The summer is passing quickly, and soon there will be the feel of fall in the air. The crops are growing well, and the peach and apple crops especially look wonderful this year. We should have a heavy apple crop this fall! Early crops faced some challenges this year with the weather, but we’re finally moving out of that season and into a more abundant one. We’re excited to welcome some new faces into various roles at Smolak Farms, and familiar faces into new positions! Tricia Dunphy, who has been busy in [...]
