Everett Family Farm Stand

Kirsten and I.

This past July I did a little house and pet sitting and the owner's home was absolutely beautiful. It was the highlight of my entire summer and I still have tan lines to prove how many hours were spent in the sun since they had a swimming pool. *sigh* It was magnificent but enough with the nostalgia. Whenever I would head back into town from said house I kept seeing a sign for a family farm stand and decided that I wanted to check it out. Displayed in this charming and rustic barn are flowers and organic/seasonal produce that is local; in fact you can see what is growing in their fields as you drive up. I had to go back the next day because I didn't have cash but I brought a friend with me and she fell in love with it too. It is all done on the honor system. You write down what you took, how much, add up the cost, and drop the money in a box. 

Last Day of Summer Vacation

I have been back a few times and I always buy a few things just because I want to support this family and love this idea. It's a beautiful drive and the produce and set up are extremely picturesque.

For my last day of Summer Vacation I went with a friend and I bought a ton of dahlia's and strawberries which I made strawberry jam out of. It was my first time and I did it by myself while I flirted with a handsome man via texting. I was not paying attention but it still tasted good despite the complete mess I made. Whoops. *blush*

Pumpkin Picking

As I mentioned before this farm stand is seasonal so in the next month or so they will be slowing down and then closing up until probably March or April. Just in case I can't make it up there anytime soon I decided to go back one last time with my mom (who loves to take photographs) and my sister because she had no choice in the matter but she thought it was pretty cool.

I picked my pumpkin, took some pictures, and will look forward to going back to see what delicious things they have in store for us next Spring.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. Seek out the light and make memories. There are many good ones for me here.
