FARM-FRESH PRODUCE

2 Farm Flea tmb At Button Farm, we grow heirloom vegetables, herbs and fruits in our Museum Garden, as well as eggs from our heritage breed chickens. Produce is used in educational programming and use on the farm, and surplus is sold directly to the public on the weekends at our Farm & Flea Market. Supplies may be limited in 2021 as we will be growing produce for two area food banks this year to help families experiencing food insecurity due to the pandemic. Each year, around the first week of May we hold our annual Garden Plant Sale which includes a variety of fresh plant starts for you to grow your own Button Farm garden at home.
