Market open for Wednesday pick up

Great Market Deals this week - open now


One of my favorite authors, John Steinbeck wrote “The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry.” We are feeling that this week. Back in February we had good, systematic plans for a long succession of broccoli and cauliflower harvest from early May into late June. The seeds were started in late January and plants started going in to the high tunnels in February over a month long period. Then came warm weather. Then came freezing weather. Then came sunny days. Then came cloudy days. Finally the crop ripened. Most of it this week! Our frustrated plans work to your benefit with much reduced prices on those two items. Good time to put some in the freezer.

Blessings,
Bob

Ordering open


Hi All,

We have some great stuff this week, including an abundance of our world class, tender, sweet, totally natural broccoli. Plenty of other good, healthy stuff too.

Kenny is coming this week, Bop & Nana’s baked stuff, Melanie’s eggs, Circle S natural meats, and as always, our cheerful hostess and guide, Connie McColley.

Come see us and we will supply you with the right stuff to put pep in your step.

Blessings,

Good morning.....Market open


Hi All,

I am opening early today so I can lend a hand to my brother from another mother and fellow grower, Terry Hudson. Terry runs a CSA in Charleston: http://hudsonfarmswv.com/

Our dear Melody and Tim Urbanic (Bop & Nana’s) have also scheduled their “Second Sunday” farm to table dinners for this summer. The first will be on Mother’s Day. Be sure to ask her about reservations.

Circle S will be here this week with their natural meats.

Enjoy this beautiful day, and we hope to see you Wednesday.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Easter Blessings to you


Please enjoy this special day. I will be opening the market after sundown this evening.

Here we go again! 2022 Market


Hello to all,

It is time to open the season for our Berea Gardens Drive-Through Farmer’s Market. It has been a typically challenging spring season here in WV with vast temperature swings and alternating wet and dry soils, but we are ready to get underway with some of our early maturing items. Lots more is growing and the selection will enlarge greatly in the coming weeks.

This week Bop & Nana’s Bakery will be here, Tom McColley will have some green onions, Melanie Degan will have eggs and Carol Houchin has local honey. Kenny Point is wrapping up his tax preparation business and will be joining us a little later. Circle S farms has a commitment this week, but will be here for the duration of the season starting the 20th with their natural, local meats.

We thank you all for making our little, isolated market such a success. Have a look at the Spring 2022 edition of “WV Living” magazine and find a nice article about us by Peter Krch!

We look forward to seeing you all again on Wednesday at the same pick-up hours from 4 to 6 PM.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita Gregory
