If you’re looking for a quintessential fall shopping experience in the country, look no further!
Located in Schaghticoke in southern Washington County, Tiashoke owners Jessica and Stuart Ziehm are fourth generation dairy farmers that just so happen to have a lot of fun growing pumpkins, too. Ninety two different varieties of pumpkins, gourds, and squash, to be exact! Jessica started out selling pumpkins in the fall at their roadside stand (made famous by their adorable pumpkin house with the cornstalk roof!), and as business grew, so did her plans for a year round farm store — which came to fruition this fall!
The Farm Store at Tiashoke showcases the farm’s dairy and meats, along with a variety of local farm treats and gifts. The star of this season, though, are their pumpkins! With 92 varieties, they have every shape, size, and color that you could hope for, along with a charming atmosphere (yes, the pumpkin house is still there!) and three sweet pups that serve as the Farm Store’s unofficial greeters!
Inside the beautifully renovated 1800’s barn, you’ll find Tiashoke’s own beef and pork, their Cabot cheeses, and a variety of local products, including Goose Island potatoes, Mapleland Farms syrup, and Borden’s Orchard apples and cider, among others. They also stock a fun selection of farm themed children’s products, home decor, candles, cookbooks, and more. So much inspiration for country living.
The best news: this is just the beginning! Jessica shared plans in the works for adding an antique section to the shop (2023 update: the barn basement is now filled to the brim with antiques!), events and workshops, as well as future plans for coffee, ice cream, food trucks, and lots more. Can’t wait to follow along as they continue to grow!
