On-Farm Goat Auction/Sale (many are young does)

We will have an on-farm goat auction/sale on May 29th from 8:00-10:00am.  We need to decrease our Nubian/Boer mix herd so we can increase our Saanen herd.  We are an Animal Welfare Approved farm and our goats are on a rotational grazing/FAMACHA "deworming" program.  We have at least 4 does between the ages of 1 and 3 years old (3 are breeding age), we have several wethers that would make great pets (starting at $25.00), and we have a beautiful 3 year old proven 50/50 (Nubian/Boer) buck going for $100.00.

We are also operating our On-Farm stand during this time until 7:00pm.  We have plenty of Amish Deer Tongue lettuce (Ark of Taste/Slow Food), Romaine (Freckles) and Looseleaf (Prizehead) lettuce available.  We also have radishes, sage, chives and mint.  We have potted Flame Azalea, Black Cohosh, Sweet Shrub and tomato plants (Yellow Israel and Sunbrite).  We also have some Native-American and Mountain crafts.

See our listing for directions and/or give us a call or e-mail.

Hope to see you there!! 
Susan and Alan

 
 

Spruce Pine, NC Farmers' Market this Wednesday

Last weeks' market showed a sign of fall.  Root crops such as irish potatoes, sweet potatoes and turnips were at the market.  We had pumpkins...the Sugar Pie pumpkins are in and they make wonderful pies.  The roasted seeds are delicious too!  We'll have the Snack Jacks' for next Wednesdays' market.  The Jerusalem Artichokes are looking good too.
Tomatoes are about over for most of the farmers' around here...the late blight hit hard.  It also hit our cantaloupes...hope to salvage some though!
We have fresh corn leaves for wraps and hope to have banana leaves for next Wednesdays' market.
Just gathered some green Oxacana "dent" corn and broom corn to dry for Falls' decorating time.  We'll be making swags and brooms from the broom corn and will have those in the store to sell.  Will gather the Bloody Butchers' corn to dry some next week.  We hope to leave some in the field to dry naturally to use for grinding and making into breads.
 

 
 

Spruce Pine, NC Farmers' Market this Wednesday

Today, at the market, the vendors opened a little early in order for people out for lunch to be able to visit the market in one trip.  Some of us were there between 1:00-1:30 p.m and stayed open until 5:30 p.m.
Tomatoes are finally on the list of produce available.  Some farmers are finding that the tomatoe crop is a little slower to ripen...probably the rain we've been having .  And with this is also the threat of a late blight which seems to be affecting farmers...mostly seen in the organic grown.
Corn is finally coming in as well.
There's a lot of choices here at the market and friendly vendors....so, come by to see us.
We look to be open, at least, until the last of October.
