This year we will be selling at three new to us farmers markets Greene County in Jefferson on Saturday mornings 8-11-We'll still be there on Tuesday nights 4-7, Perry on Thursdays 4-6, and the Drake Neighborhood Farmers Market in Des Moines Wednesdays 4-7. We are very excited to be a part of these markets. We will take WIC/Senior checks and EBT which will allow us to do credit and debit cards too! I feel like we need to put more acres into produce and out of corn to support this and luckily we have a very supportive corn farmer who doesn't mind giving up a little at a time.
CSA members we want you to come pick up your bags at the farmers markets because this is more cost effective for us and we aren't driving all over the world to get them to you. Plus I will have more time to grow things when I'm not driving.
On the farm front we have thousands of baby plants growing in the house and if things dry out we will start planting in early April! We have a new roof on the barn and half of the bottom cleared of debris we are getting ready to lay sewer, water and electric lines.
Alexis and Marcy have spent the winter in proffessional development and are now Master Gardener interns. We have been helpign children around Greene county learn how to grow their own produce.
