There the children comfortably assumed positions behind the salescounter, as if they ran the place; which, in fact, they do.
Finan, 12, Morel, 10, Brahm, 8, and Beryl, 3, are the children offarmers Rebecca and Richard Muir-Malcolm. The Muir-Malcolms startedthe farm 10 years ago, and the store two years ago, with acommitment to offering customers something unusual, healthy anddelicious while also creating an educational family project.
The children participate in much of the farming operation. Thisincludes the Borodino Market store located on the farm property (onthe east side of Skaneateles Lake, just a few miles south of thevillage, off Route 41), along with a roadside farm stand. On atypical Saturday, the kids can be seen helping with the stand.
The Borodino Market is a gem of a food gift store, in many waysresembling a small European shop. The products - including loosetea, local honey, sea salt, Italian specialties, and French milledsoap - won't be found in a supermarket. Each item has beencarefully chosen out of a sense of nostalgia, because it comes froma family-run business or is considered an “artisanal”product (to see photos of items carried at the store, visit http://borodinomarket.blogspot.com/ ).
An entire meal could be planned around a trip to the farm, first bypurchasing produce at the farm stand and then filling outingredients for the meal in the store.
Although they grow and sell a variety of produce at the farm stand,the specialty at Schoolhouse Farms is heirloom tomatoes - nearly 40varieties on 17 acres - as well as a few other specialty items thatcan't be found anywhere else in the area, such as purple and yellow“Dragon Tongue” beans, fingerling potatoes, currantsand quince.
If customers are skeptical about trying something different - theodd-looking lumpy tomatoes can lead customers to question if thefruit is OK to consume - the children are the farm's mostenthusiastic ambassadors, offering visitors samples of the sweet,juicy tomatoes. Once they get customers to sample heirloomtomatoes, they're hooked.
