Sweet Corn At Schiefelbeins's Farm Market

Schiefelbein's Farm Market

LFLF made it a point to stop in at Schiefelbein's Farm Market yesterday to get some pictures.  You can see a lot of the produce growing in the fields right along Route 151.  We pass by and stop a couple of times a month, but never seem to have the camera in hand!  I didn't get any pictures of the sweet corn, but it was one of the best batches I've had all summer.

Schiefelbein's Farm Market Tables & Cooler

The tables were loaded with tomatoes front & center and surrounded by a colorful display of ornamental gourds, mini-pumpkins, & decorative corn.  Peppers filled the back side.  Click on the pictures to see what's in the cooler case - local milk from Brunton Dairy and fresh eggs from Seibel's Farm.


Decorative Corn & Mini-Pumpkins

In the background the tables are full of butternut & acorn squash, zucchini, cabbage, potatoes, beets, large pumpkins, and a good selection of local apples.  Along with the sweet corn we picked up a box of radishes, a cabbage, & some egg noodles.  You can also get PA maple syrup and local honey here.  The local beekeeper is J. Lee Miller - retired Beaver County Cooperative Extension Director ... aka "J-Lee-Bee-Glad" ... famous for his honey and prize winning gladiolus flowers!  :)

Finally - how about this decorative cross-cut saw sign hanging over the canned goods & honey display?  Perfect for the fall season!

Peppers In The Field Rows

It's been a little while since LFLF reported on Schiefelbein's Farm Market, but we went by on the weekend and stopped for some sweet corn & a head of cauliflower.  Way off in the background between the 2 signs, you can see the sweet corn fields.  We're always amazed at when this family plants the corn so it's fresh & ready for September & October.  I'm sure the casual passerby would think it is planted too late to produce!  Market farmers know how to stagger their planting during the growing season so that they have a constant flow of veggies.

We walked back along the driveway to look at all of the pumpkins & cornstalks.  They had a very nice selection & they all had a good stem.  No broken off handles here!

A Nice Touch!

LFLF stopped in at this local "on farm" market for the first time this season.  Normally we would pass Schiefelbein's Farm Market every day on the way home from work.  This year the Ambridge/Aliquippa Bridge project means that we have to detour in the opposite direction ..... and to top it off, a "small" bridge re-building project is underway right next to the market!  It's one of those bridges that most people never notice as they drive over it.  There is a temporary traffic light installed about a hundred feet away from the market on Route 151.

 Today we picked up yellow plums, broccoli, and yellow summer squash.  The refrigerated case holds  Brunton Dairy milk & Seibel's eggs.  Beaver Valley Honey from local beekeeper J. Lee Miller is also on the shelves.  Just check out the sign for some of the other home grown veggies that they have now.

Fields Along Rt 151 & Antique Equipment!

 This local family has been farming for quite some time and you can see their planting right along Route 151.  To satisfy the late season market, we saw sweet corn that's only 6" to 1' high right now ..... perfect for late September.
