What's Happening at Canticle Farm? May & June 2010 Photos
May and June are busy months at Canticle Farm. A variety of vegetables are seeded in the greenhouse. Many vegetables are transplanted into the ground. We start with the Spring CSA shares and then in June start the Summer CSA program. The Farm Stand is open. The REAP Olean Farmers' Market starts in mid-May.

New this year is the ability to use a Debit card or Food Stamp EBT card to make purchases at the REAP Olean Farmers' Market. This was added as a result of customer requests. Here Steph processes a transaction for a customer.
