Video series gives inside
look at our farm
April 28, 2010 @ 8:31 AM
Food is a lot more fun to eat when you know
a little more about it. We have many tools such as
Facebook, Twitter, and more that we use to share
information, but we want to expand this even more.
Therefore, we are now producing our own online series of
videos titled Skelly's Farm Market: Up Close.
As we do our work this summer, we will take our video
camera around the farm and show you what is happening.
We will show you things such as how we plant different
crops, how to pick strawberries, and teach about what we
do to make our produce so good compared to that stuff
you buy in the grocery store.
To view all of our
current episodes, go to our
videos page. Make sure you keep checking back
because a lot more videos will be posted throughout the
summer. You can also get videos to your RSS feed by
subscribing to our
YouTube page. |
Skelly's is now on Twitter!
April 27, 2010 @ 7:47 AM
We know you want to know what is going on
at the farm, so we now have a Twitter page for you to
follow all of the excitement of Skelly's. Even if you
are already a fan on Facebook, our Twitter page should
give you some additional insight into what we are doing.
Read our Stay Connected
page to see how our Twitter, Facebook, and email updates
all vary with what type of information you will receive
from us.

Janesville and Caritas of Beloit. We appreciate the
generosity of our customers. Please continue to support
our local community through the many programs available.

How are corn mazes made?
September 30, 2009 @ 6:39
AM
One of the most popular questions
we get about own two corn mazes is "How did you make
that?" That same question was asked by a Channel 3
viewer from Madison. So, the team from WISC-3 came down
to Janesville and talked to our very own Scott Skelly
about how corn mazes are made.
Check out the story.
Both of Skelly's corn
mazes are open 9-6 daily. The 'Lost in Space' Maze is
designed for families and has some fun scarecrows to
guide visitors through the maze. 'The Impossible Maze'
is designed for those who are up for more walking and
quite a challenge. The admission of $6 gets visitors
into one or both mazes. For more information, visit
http://www.skellysfarmmarket.com/maze.shtml or call
608-757-1200.
