Opening June 4th...Come and see us!

The Summer Begins when...................


                     We  open on June 4th  :)

There isn't any better way to start off the summer than to stop by SIW for your all time favorites to take to the beach.


Our hours: Monday - Sunday  10am to 6pm.


 This year we will be featuring a new program.  In the past we have had a discount card which had entitled you to a 10% discount after a number of purchases.  Once the card is completed you will be eligible to be entered into a drawing for "Dinners for Two", to one of our local restaurants.  The drawing will take place once at the end of every month we are open.  Please stop by the stand to pick up your card.

Peonies, Peonies everywhere....Mother's Day is coming fast so don't delay!!!

Peony lovers,

You can pick up your Peonies anytime after 9:00am on Thurs.  There will be mostly mixed bunches, but some red and some white also. Put them in water and they will start to open. Warm water for faster opening, but shorter life and cool water for slower opening, but longer life. 

If you wait until Sat to pick them up will be hard to have them open for Mommy on Sunday!

The cost will be $25.00 for 10 stems.

If you have NOT pre-ordered there still should be some available, but please let me know first and I will let you know if they will NOT be available.

Thank you,

H. G.

Celebrate Mother's Day with Peonies!!!!!

What better way to say "I love you," than with a magnificent bouquet of Peonies.  Just in time for that special day!

Peony lovers,

Richard says peonies on Mothers day will be coming from Maryland fields. The Mothers Day price will be $50 for 20 stems(minus your CSA 10% discount) after this they will be at the price I quoted. Some of you have ordered more than 20 , but if you are insistent on only 10, H. G.( AND YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE TO GET MY HANDS DIRTY) will divide the bunches for you. After that we will offer them in smaller bunches. 

*ALL MOTHERS DAY ORDERS NEED TO BE IN BY MAY 5TH

Richard also informs me that the can be purchased online at      styerspeonies.com     but CSA members won't get their discount there.

So don't delay May 5th is coming up quick! 

Yes! Yes! Yes!                                                   

You know what they say............Good things come in small packages! and boy you know this is good.  Things are really starting to sprout around the farm.Tomatoes came out of the greenhouse and also are now in the ground.                

CSA Update:  

Save the Date!!!!!!!

This year the first annual CSA dinner hosted by SIW Vegetables will be on July 27, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. (with a rain date of August 4th.)  Stay tuned for details in the upcoming month.

The Count Down Begins!!!!!!!!!

Hello all! It feels like spring is already upon us. We are really getting excited about what we have in store for you this year!

In the past we have offered a discount card to our customers. This year we would like to offer the same discount card, but with an added benefit. As the card has reached it’s last discounted use, we will be collecting these cards along with the names and a phone contact of the customers and putting them into a drawing at the end of the month. This drawing would be good for a gift certificate for “Dinner for Two,” at one of our participating local establishments. These cards will be made available to our CSA members and Longwood card holders as well. So remember the card must be totally used in order to be eligible for the gift certificates. You may be eligible for dinner at Harry's Savoy, Bistro on the Brandywine, or maybe the Whip among others. Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!!!!!

Oh! I almost forgot............Look for us in the near future on Facebook and Twitter.

We would like to take this opportunity once again to say “Thank you,” for your support in 2011!

Happy New Year 2012!

Happy New Year all! We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday season.

........will slow us down. Irene tried to ........but was not very successful. Sunday the 28th Irene helped the Brandywine Creek into SIW and manage to leave a layer of mud everywhere. With the help of a great crew, they rose to the occassion on Monday, and assembled a tent out in the parking lot to be able to service our customers while the clean-up began. We were back in the stand by Tuesday and back to full service by Wednesday.

This week we are battling the rain once again. We have plenty of corn, tomatoes, squash and zucchini. Our cooler is full with Claudio's fresh mozzarella, pesto, parmigiana, and olives; Di Bruno's various cheeses, Abruzze and Garlic and Herb cheese spreads.....and let's not forget those great Local pies and cookies for dessert.
