Spring is in the Air! 2020
Do you enjoy growing and preserving the incredible food that comes from your very own garden?! There's no better way to build your immune system, nourish your family and stock your pantry.
Food security is REAL, and we're here to HELP,
its time to be in NATURE
and there’s no better place to start, than in your own Garden!!
We are busier than ever here on the farm, getting hundreds of thousands of seeds sown and so many baby plants transplanted out, while we are short handed, because 3 of our H2A workers are in lock-down in Guatemala, but we’re all working longer hours and getting the work done!
So many of you have been reaching out to purchase starter plants for your gardens too, and in keeping with the times, we are offering a pre-order system that allows you to place your order on-line and pick up your plants ‘curb-side’ at our farm, while we are still in this self distancing mode. Hopefully this will all prove unnecessary very soon, but until then we want to welcome you to our farm, remotely, or in person, in whatever way you feel most comfortable.
Find us in-season (May-Oct) on-line at: Markristo Farm
to view our availability and place your order at your convenience.
We look forward to hearing from you!!

Check out our beautiful New Tack Room, built bY Frank Buckbee, that is climate controlled for year round comfort and
happy leather!!

Beautiful!
Next up!: BridleWood is approved for NYSEG's rebate program to replace all the outdated lighting! Stay tuned for our fancy new energy efficient Lighting!:)
Every step is a milestone, (the application only took 12 months!;), and LED lights in the arena and in the isle are a welcome upgrade from the old fixtures that were no longer usable....Frank and our crew, will be removing tons of old wiring and installing the new fixtures over the next couple months, using a hydraulic lift to reach them in safety. I'll post pictures of the progress on our Instagram and Facebook accounts!
while Sarah has been away, hiking in Greece (the best kind of social distancing!)..
…Her Horses are grazing peacefully,
...but she’s expected back any day now, and is looking forward to resuming her riding program as soon as that becomes possible!!
and meanwhile, We’re holding down the fort, caring for the horses, keeping projects rolling, and working in the fields to bring you the finest organic produce and fresh cut flowers we can grow!
We are looking forward to the return of community life and all the joy and SOUL HEALTH that it provides!!
Don't hesitate to reach out to us, if you need any advice or inspiration in your gardening journey!
Blessings on all, for a healthy and fulfilling year!
Martin, Christa, Sarah, Rachael and Matthias-
