In keeping with the grilling season, is offering you a Grilling Bundle. There are a limited number of bundles available and they are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Full payment in advance is required to reserve a Bundle and pick up takes place during our visitor center and store hours.

Seasonal Farm Bouquets 
In addition to the wonderful vegetables that are harvested every week, we have a new exciting crop that came to the scene at Gale Woods Farm this year…cut flowers! We have added over 20 different varieties to our gardens and are selling our fresh farm bouquets during our Farm Market days (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3-6:30 PM). Reduce your carbon footprint by buying locally and sustainably grown flowers from Gale Woods Farm. The bees and the environment will thank you!
