Market open


Hi Friends,

Opening a little early today so we can leave in a short while for a play date that we truly need. Also hoping for some rain this week. I subsoiled an area for our fall cabbage down to 24" and even at that depth the soil was bone dry. We are thankful for a good well and drip irrigation to keep our crops going.

Our full slate of vendors will be here this week so be sure and stop by on Wednesday even if you don’t get an order in.

Appreciate ya’

Bob and Lynnita

The Market is Open


Howdy Folks,

The market is now open for ordering this week. It is “Abundance” time of year so you will notice that some of our prices are lower. We are not offering any baked goods this week because Lynnita is slaving in the canning kitchen with bushels and bushels and bushels of tomatoes for soup, salsa, spaghetti sauce and ketchup. If you are interested in getting some chemical-free Roma/Cipolla/Rutgers tomatoes for canning in bushel quantities, you can call 304-655-7389 or email me at bgregory@bereagardens.org for details.

We will have a few more of our “Little, Ugly But Tasty Melons” on the table this week, first come, first served so you can see what you are getting.

Hope to see you this Wednesday.

Market open for orders


Hi Friends,

This week’s market is now open for orders. We are a bit early today so I can get some field work done.

Along with what is listed here we will again have additional tomatoes, sweet peppers, cucumbers and perhaps more sweet corn on the table this week. Our “Little, Ugly Melons” will be available too. McColley Gardens, Bop & Nana’s Bakery, Kenny Point, Circle S Farms and Carol Houchin (with local honey) will all be joining us this week. Come see us for the best food options in the region.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Market is Open!


Hi Friends,

Market ordering is enabled for Wednesday’s pick up. Again, we will have tomatoes on the table this week. Our early Red Mountains have proven to be early, but we are still waiting for our fabulous heirlooms to ripen. Melody will be back this week with Bop & Nana’s baked items, Tom McColley will be here with potatoes, Kenny Point always has something delicious and interesting and Circle S Farms will be here with their array of products, too. Hope to see you!

Howdy,

The market is open for ordering for this week’s Wednesday pick ups. We will again have Red Mountain Tomatoes on the table this week. I don’t list these for ordering so that you can pick size, ripeness, etc. when you are here. We should have about 20 pounds on the table and if you would like us to hold some back for you leave a comment for us on your order and let us know about how much you want. The price is $2.75/lb.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Market Open For Orders


Hi All,

We are now open for orders. In addition to what is listed today, we will have a few pounds of green beans, some tomatoes, and a few eggplant on our table Wednesday. I am unsure of quantities, but give us a note in the “comments” section of your order if you want any of these items and I will try to hold some for you. No guarantees that I will have them, but I will reserve what we do have rather than selling them to the public.

Blessings to you all,
Bob & Lynnita

Happy 4th of July! Our market ordering is open for Wednesday pick-ups. Hope you are all having a nice celebration on this beautiful day. Isn’t it wonderful to be in the USA?

Hi Friends,

It is a special week for us as we celebrate Lynnita’s 6th decade with all of her kids and grandkids All 14! We have lots of extra picking hands this week, so I am celebrating too.

Lots of good stuff from here this week. Melody will be returning, also Tom McColley and Kenny Point.

We have some large, tender, sweet roasting beets this week that are great wrapped in foil and roasted on the grill. Come see us and stock up for the 4th.

Blessings,
Bob and Lynnita

Happy Father’s Day and West Virginia Day,

We are looking forward to our Wednesday Market this week and are happy that our full market team will be here! Melody Urbanic with her great stuff from Bop and Nana’s Bakery, Tom McColley with new potatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and extras, Kenny Point with some exotic plants; ginger, tumeric, fig trees and maybe some greens, and us.

Summer crops are beginning to ripen and we will be adding a number of items in the next week or two. Hope to see you.

Blessings,
Bob and Lynnita

Tom McColley is coming!


Hi Folks,

Just a quick note to let you know that Tom McColley will be at the market on Wednesday with some spectacular lettuce and fresh, new potatoes. Good stuff!

Blessings,
Bob
