Oh yeah, we tomatoed! It was a great day; several vendors reported record breaking sales. “We did the best we ever did,” said Melanie G., Co-Owner of Fluffy Farms in Egg Harbor City. “As a small farm, NOFA-NJ has been a lifeline, enabling us to achieve viability beyond our wildest dreams.” Drawing a mixed crowd of farmers, gardeners, families, foodies, and existing Walkingbird Farm customers, FESTOMATO is designed to promote local farms and food systems while highlighting tomatoes during peak season. Mark your calendars for next year - we are looking forward to doing it again! Thank you NOFA-NJ for making us a partner of this annual event. The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Jersey (NOFA NJ) has supported and advocated for organic farming and local food systems in the Garden State since 1985.

U-PICK RASPBERRIES AND STRAWBERRIES - OPEN THIS SATURDAY AT 10AM, UNTIL SOLD OUT.
RASPBERRIES
$10/pint CSA, $12/non-members. Pints will be limited, just coming in.
No pesticides, herbicide's or chemicals used. Know your farmer, know your raspberries. How to pick raspberries? They are extremely delicate! Please be careful with plants - take care not to knock off ripening berries. They should be a deep red and slip off the plant easily, if not, they are not quite ripe and will be tart. This is a very labor intensive and expensive crop to grow - we expect you to have a taste in the field, but please no snacking. Thank you for respecting our fields.
STRAWBERRIES
Heat has made them especially sweet! Don't be afraid to pick a few that may look overripe or bruised, flavor is excellent! Size does not affect the flavor, pick them all, might be the last pick of the season.
MARKET STORE - OPENS NEXT WEEK - THURSDAY 6/13, 10AM-5PM.
NEXT WEEK:
THE HARVEST AND MORE...
Crops available (tentative) - Arugula, Cabbage, Chard (rainbow), Garlic Scapes (makes the most amazing pesto!), Kale (green curly and tuscan types), Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Radish, Salad Turnips, Spinach.

We sell what we grow - Jersey Fresh!

Berries and Market Updates
Berries Ripe and Ready for You!
U-Pick Strawberries OPEN Saturday.
June 1st, 10AM-2PM, or until sold out.
See you on the farm Saturday!
U-Pick Strawberries
Hi all! After some wonderful sunshine this week we are ready to reopen our u-pick strawberries. Today (Thursday) from 10am to 2pm or until sold out (or we get rained out)... again.
It's been a weird strawberry year. Great flavor, but not the consistent production we're used to... a cold, wet spring, very hot then very cold, the recovery time between picks is a bit more tricky to predict this year. There are lots of nice red berries out there right now, but with storms in the forecast we just want the fields picked ASAP. Sorry for short notice, but that is how quick they ripen on nice days!
What will the weekend look like? Will we be open? My advice, don't wait! Get your Memorial Day Weekend strawberries today. Please check our social media for the most up to date field conditions.
Price $5.50 per lb. Field Pass Fee will be applied while berries last (covers the berries you eat in the field while picking, the containers you take home, and the labor that goes into it without using weed control or insecticides). We work hard to grow strawberries and give our customers a good experience - we appreciate you!
Field Pass Fee:
Single picker, $3
Up to 3, $5
4 and more, $10
CSA Members - No Field Pass Fee
See you Thursday at 10am. If you miss this pick, there will be more!
Berries, Burgers and Beers
Strawberries will OPEN for U-Pick Friday evening 5-8 PM, or until sold out. Kicking off the season in style with our farm friends - Hammerbacher Kitchen on the grill with house-made buns and burgers, and The Seed Brewery selling crafty farm brews (Friday night ONLY). It might rain on Saturday, so get here Friday!
U-PICK STRAWBERRIES - HOW DOES IT WORK?
ALL CUSTOMERS MUST CHECK IN FIRST. We will assign locations with the best berries for you to pick. This helps ensure everyone has a good experience and the fields are picked evenly. Please do not enter the fields without checking in first.
CONTAINERS. While we appreciate your BYO container spirit (and we’ve seen all sorts!), please leave your containers at home, we will supply them. This is our policy moving forward. Thank you for your cooperation.
FIELD PASS FEE - This will get you access to the fields, and containers for you to pick into and take home. Single Pass $3/per person, Family Pass $10 (up to 4 people). Additional persons $3 each. Why are we charging a field pass? Due to rising costs (like labor and materials) and other factors (like fruit that gets eaten in the field or discarded), we must require a field pass to help cover these costs.
CSA MEMBERS. Field Pass Fee is waived. Market Cards can be used to purchase U-Pick Strawberries.
U-PICK PRICE. $5.50/LB. U-Pick Only. Pre-picked quarts will not be available.
HOURS. *** Please check our social media BEFORE coming to the farm. Conditions change daily! *** If it’s raining, we close the fields; if we do not have enough berries due to heavy picking, we will close for a few days to let the fields ripen again.
Open to the Public. No appointment needed.
Are you Organic? Strawberries are pesticide and herbicide free - however we are not certified organic. Weeded by hand - labor of love!
See you Friday, 5/17 for Berries, Burgers and Beers! 5-8 PM, or until sold out.

IT’S CSA WEEK
Know Your Farmer - JOIN OUR CSA!
Get a great deal on our farm-grown vegetables, sign up by March 1.
WHAT IS CSA WEEK? It’s a week where farmers from across the country are promoting their CSA’s and encouraging customers to signup. Why? As farmers, just before spring emerges (and it’s around the corner!), it’s a good time for us to share our story and connect the general public with family farms like ours.
ABOUT US. We are a family farm, and woman owned and operated. Female farmers increasingly are making the majority of managerial decisions, working in the fields, driving tractors and running the bulk of daily operations. On our farm, I am proud to be a part of this growing trend in farming. Along with my husband Ryan, we live and work on this farm for a living. It is as physically demanding as it is rewarding. Our intent is to grow nurturing food and promote our local food system. Know Your Farmer! And that’s where our CSA comes in…
HOW DOES IT WORK? Join our CSA and get your eMarket card. The card (we use egift cards) is a buy down membership. *** Use it to shop with us in our Farm Store. *** In return for your upfront payment, enjoy discounts all season on our farm fresh produce AND earn loyalty points, redeemable on farm goods throughout the season. No weekly commitment or boxed shares. Shop at your convenience. Our CSA is flexible and you choose what you want. Not so sure? While we are open to the public, membership has its benefits.
EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS. This is our best deal of the season, and it ends March 1! Applied at checkout on the farm EVERY TIME you shop ALL SEASON! Discounts will be applied ONLY to crops grown exclusively at WBF (other farms' products we sell are not eligible for the discount).
THE MINI $350… includes 10% VEGGIE DISCOUNT
THE BASIC $450… includes 15% VEGGIE DISCOUNT

WHY JOIN OUR FARM? Our commitment to our ongoing education and due diligence. We are practical and hardworking, both in the field and in the books, farming is our livelihood. The decisions we make on our seed purchases and crop plans over the winter months are well thought out and contribute to the overall success of our farm all season long.

2024 CSA MEMBERSHIPS – ON SALE NOW!
With the success of our Market Card in 2023, we are making it our standard CSA membership in 2024 and offering a digital version, the eMarket Card.
CSA MEMBERSHIPS
HOW DOES IT WORK?
- eMarket Cards (“eGift Cards”) are a “Buy Down” plan – we find it easier to track our harvest & inventory while offering our customers a more customizable, flexible shopping experience.
- Choose an eMarket Card Level ($350, $450, $550 and $650) – just as you would sign up for a traditional CSA Share. Early Bird Signup includes 10-25% savings on your veggies, all season, based on your membership level.
- Good for EVERYTHING in our farm store – use your eMarket Card for veggies, eggs, local meats, cheeses, jams, sauces and more.
- No weekly commitment and valid for our ENTIRE farm season – shop for what you want, when you want.
- Share your digital account with family or friends – this is handled by Square, our POS (point of sale) system, no need to have a physical card.
WHY JOIN NOW?
- SUPPORT FARMS – running a farm is a year-round business for us. Your upfront purchase helps us greatly now… to buy seeds, plants and supplies, pay for fuel for the greenhouses and tractors, hire staff to work in the greenhouses and get our fields prepped and planted and so much more.
- QUALITY – access to the best, farm fresh produce every week throughout the growing season. Wholesome, healthy food – harvested daily, from our fields, for you and your family. Grocery store produce can be on the shelves for weeks before it reaches your plate; ours is direct from the fields, picked at peak ripeness. This makes a HUGE difference in quality, taste and nutritional value.
- FIRST PICK – members get priority on all crops we grow – at times, certain crops may ONLY be available to our members. Don’t miss out when it comes to our best beefsteak “Jersey” tomatoes – become a member!
- DISCOUNTS – ALL SEASON LONG – the larger the Market Card investment, the better the discount on your vegetables!
