Well, it looks like Mother Nature has decided that we need some hot weather! I think we all need to have a talk with her and explain that spring is usually mild with nice rain...perfect for our plants to start their growth cycle. Then summer comes along with the sunshine that they need to thrive. It seems like we had a very cold and wet start to spring and now we are having a heat wave! Lol It's okay, our farmers are doing their best to bring you only the freshest, guaranteed homegrown available. Sorry, corn is not in yet. Peaches aren't either. And, sorry if you want a local watermelon, you'll have to wait for awhile.
The good news...we do have strawberries, greens, yellow squash, cucumbers, zucchini, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, butternut squash and much more. You'll also be able to purchase beef, pork, poultry, goat and lamb too! Don't forget the farm fresh eggs and the beautiful cut flowers. Speaking of flowers...how about some plants for those patio containers or maybe a hanging basket. Herb plants...plenty of those too! No room for an herb garden? We've got hand blended herb seasoning mixes available in many different blends. Looking for sweet stuff? Try some home baked zucchini chocolate cakes, muffins or cookies! Maybe you'd prefer your zucchini with apple and oats...we'll have baked goods with those too! How about something wonderful in a jar...think strawberry and other fruit jams. Don't forget the delicious pepper jams...sweet, mild or hot...always wonderful! And, as an extra added attraction, you'll find some wonderful homemade soaps and even laundry detergent!
Our farmers grew, raised, baked, produced or made everything that they sell. No reselling allowed...you will be purchasing from one of our members directly! It's called local and we guarantee it!
