Join us on Saturday, September 8th for a tour of Robinette Farms!

This is an event organized by Open Harvest Coop Grocery in Lincoln, featuring 5 local farms that supply to the Coop. The farms on the tour are open from 12-4pm on Saturday and you can stop at 1 farm or all 5 if you are really motivated!

We'll have self-guided tours as well as guided tours by our farmers.

Come see us on the farm!

Please see the brochure for more information on the farms involved and the tour.

We are thrilled to promote Prairie Hill Learning Center, the school our daughter Nina attends. We can't say enough about the experience our child receives there. Please take a look at the summer camp opportunities below!

PRAIRIE HILL Learning Center (seven miles south of Lincoln) welcomes your children to join us for camp this summer!  This is a great place to spend time in nature, be creative, learn new skills, meet
terrific friends, and have a blast -- all the while engaging in habits that demonstrate respect and sustainability to the earth. 

We offer half-day camps for children three to six years old and full-day camps for children six through twelve years old. Each day will include some gardening, care of farm animals, pony/horse riding, time in our twelve acres of unspoiled prairie and woods, as well as work with a specialist determined by each session's camp theme. Visit http://prairiehill.com/natureworks-summer-camp/ for more camp information and registration. 

Mention Robinette Farms on your registration form and receive a $30 discount for a two-week camp or $15 for a one-week camp.  May not be combined with other discounts.  Valid for new campers only.

We filled our membership 2 months ahead of last year so we're very excited!  We have 125 CSA vegetable shares, 25 meat shares and even some Gelato Shares!  If you missed out this year, join our mailing list to get a jump on joining for next year.

The Robinette Farm Stand will be open for its LAST day of the season on Sunday, November 20th.  The hours will be 10am till dark.  We'll have eggs in the fridge, potatoes, beets, parsnips, garlic, winter squash, cayenne pepper ristras, and, depending on how frosty it gets tonight, possibly some other veggies from the field. 

If you would like to place an order to pick up beef, pork or chicken, email us or give us a call and we'll have it ready for you when you stop by the farm.

Thanks for a great season everyone! 

Hello Friends of Robinette Farms!

Apologies for the last minute notice, but due to cold temps and rain in the forecast, we will NOT be selling our goods at Leon's this Wednesday.

We will continue selling our pork, beef and chicken but will only be delivering meat to Lincoln once a month.  The next two pick up dates are Wednesday, November 16th and Wednesday, December 14th from 4-6pm at Leon's Gourmet Grocer.

Pre-Order Your Meats
Starting Thursday, November 3rd, you can order meat for pickup on Wednesday, November 16th by visiting our meat store.  Place your order for individual cuts of beef or pork, and for whole chickens. 

Pay for your meat when you pick up that Wednesday evening.  We'll bring extra, but pre-ordering speeds your pickup and guarantees availability.

*Please note: we will not know the exact weight of your meat order until pickup, so your online total will be listed as $0.00.* 

If you would like any meat from us before or in between these dates, please give us a call or send us an email (robinettefarms@gmail.com) and we can arrange for you to pick up what you would like out at the farm. 

Thanks for your support!

Chloe & Alex
