Where To Find Our Produce 

2020 has certainly been a year of challenges and Pleasant Valley Farm has implemented many changes due to Covid 19.  Most of these new online selling ventures have been great, however they increased our work-load!  The customer support has been tremendous and we are so thankful.  As we slow down and figure out the best direction for our farm, family and amazing farm team, we have made some decisions we would like you to be aware of. 

The biggest change is farmers’ markets, which we have attended since 1986.  Glens Falls and Saratoga markets have been a tremendous resource for us to sell our produce, plants, and flowers, and over the 34 years, we have never missed one market!  We were on both Boards of Directors for 17 and 7 years respectively, active in special events/advertising, helped start Clifton Park, Troy, and Queensbury markets, worked with the cities to get the buildings built, and started the winter markets…. And had a fantastic time doing all that and more with Paul’s parents at our side during most of it!  Most importantly, we were able to provide healthy, organic produce to the communities, restaurants and businesses through the markets.  

We have decided to NOT attend farmers’ markets after Saturday, November 21^st until further notice.  This has been a very difficult situation, but the safety of ourselves, family and customers is very important to us, as well as having less stress and enjoying life more (and grandson!).  Both farmers’ markets have an array of hard-working farmers and vendors which we hope you will support in our absence.  We have mentored and worked with many over the years and we are proud of those who continue to farm, which isn’t always easy. Of special note are Owl Wood, Green Jeans, Echo Creek, Freshtake and Alleged Farm, and we will miss seeing them each week along with many other vendors.

HOWEVER, the GOOD NEWS is that our high tunnels are filled with beautiful greens, the root cellar and warm storage areas are packed with over 20 tons of root crops, onions, garlic, etc.! We look forward to supplying our customers each week through our home delivery and pre-order systems that we have been doing since that fateful day March 14^th when Covid 19 took over our lives!  We also are fortunate to be able to partner with other fantastic local farms to supply you cheese, fish, apples, baked goods, fruit, honey, soaps, and maybe more as we rein in our work-load.  Below is a summary of what we know is happening with our lives for now, and we thank you for your patronage to our farm and family.  We are truly blessed in many ways.

Our schedule going forward:

• HOME DELIVERIES: All home deliveries will be on Saturdays with the deadline to order being Thursday by 9AM and the store opened on Mondays. 
• FARM PICKUPS: We offer Saturday and Sunday pickups at our farm. Contact us for special requests, just know all produce is harvested and washed on Thursdays and Friday’s so any requests have to come on those days or you can check and see what we have extra. 
• GLENS FALLS PICKUPS:   Glens Falls will be at Dickinson Delight’s brand-new facility on 122 Bay Street every Saturday and be from 9:30AM to Noon. We will also be introducing a special Monday pickup for those that can’t make Saturday (we know summers are busy!). The Monday order would still be packed on Friday, but it will be kept continually cooled and we aim for our produce to last more than a week regardless. Dickinson’s has a wrap-around driveway, parking in back, and we can accommodate folks inside to take their items out of crates or outside if better for you.
• SARATOGA PICKUPS: Pickup will be at 26A Congress Street at Moby Rick’s new location in Saratoga. Pickup time is 11am to 1pm, however, we will have extra hours for those that are busy on Saturday’s during Moby Rick’s business hours on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Those hours are: Sat 11am to 7pm, Sun 11am to 4pm, Mon 11am to 6pm. All orders will be packed on Friday and kept cool till you retrieve it! 

Sorry this is so long, but we wanted to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone this year….customers, vendors, markets, boards, etc….. who helped make it and continue to make it a successful year.   It’s been like no other for sure.   2021 is planned to be a fun year where we can do some farm tours again and maybe even some events.  

For now, we wish you all a wonderful spring season and  let us know if you have any questions.  Call, email, text… we love hearing from all of you.

Blessings and stay healthy,
Paul, Sandy, Robert, Kim, Peyton, Chase, and Anne
