Market open

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying an appreciative and reverent Memorial weekend.

The heat in the previous two weeks brought on a huge flush of cauliflower crops, particularly the Romanesco. The heads are not as large as I would like, so we dropped the price substantially and hope that you take the opportunity to buy some. Like all Cauliflower, this will store well in refrigeration for 3 to 4 weeks. Even so, we choose to never sell product more than 6 days old, so we are hoping to sell it this week.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Bountiful Brassicas this week! Market Open

With the turn to more seasonable weather our Brassica crops have exploded this week. We should have plenty for you, and at reduced prices too! This is really a nice crop of everything Brassica; Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage and Kale. The lettuce is also very nice, even though things are warming up. The beets this week are sweet and delightful. This is some of the best quality of the year, so don’t miss out!

Blessings,
Bob and Lynnita

Market Open - new items this week

Hi Folks,

One of the advantages of shopping locally is that you have access to some products that are not in the normal chains of commerce because they don’t ship easily. Such is the case with a product we have available to you this week. Romanesco is a Brassica vegetable that has been cultivated since the 16th century in Italy. It is similar to a broccoli or cauliflower (some call it Broccoflower, but that is inaccurate.) What makes this product hard to ship is it’s somewhat fragile and fantastic shape. That is a shame becuase the flavor and texture of this food is fabulous. Use it as you would either broccoli or cauliflower, i.e. either cooked or raw. Mark Twain once said that “Cauliflower is just Cabbage with a college education.” That being the case, Romanesco has a PhD! The shape is a wonder of our Creator’s design and is based on both a Fibonacci sequence and Fractal design. If you miss out this week, don’t worry. We have plenty more coming on for the next few weeks.

Blessings to all,

Bob and Lynnita

Ordering Enabled for Wednesday's Market

Blessed Mother’s Day Greetings to all of you Mom’s! Hope your day is very special. I am opening up a little early today so that I can spend some time on honeydo’s for my very special wife and Mom.

Cauliflower is coming in nicely, we have a few beets coming in and our famous purple cauliflower is starting to ripen too. Frost is in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday so we will have a very busy week keeping things secure.

Best wishes to all of you hard working mothers/grandmothers and great-grandmothers on this special day.

Hi Folks,

The cole crops are coming, the cole crops are coming! This week we have a bit of broccoli and cauliflower with much more on the way shortly. Lettuce is in a little lull, but more is on the wayfor next week. Soils are still much cooler than normal for this time of year, so things like beans, sweet corn and summer squash will be a little behind schedule. They will all be planted outside when the weather warms some because my high tunnels are full of broccoli, cauliflower, beets and cabbage that are filling out nicely.

Hope to see you this week!

Open for orders

Hi Folks,

I first want to thank all of you that came out in the miserable weather last week to support our market opening. It was great to see you all again.

We have some additional tomato plant varieties for you this week. Broccoli and beets will be ready soon, so we will be adding those in the next week or two.

Melody will be here with more baked goods, and Connie will have more of Tom’s awesome early onions.

Hope to see you!

There are many good things in store for you this season. We don’t have a lot of variety this early, but what we do have is excellent. Much more will be available in the next few weeks.

Market Opening on April 21

Hi Friends,

The market will be opening on April 21. Keep an eye on your inbox next Sunday for our opening availability list for the 2021 season. We have some gorgeous lettuce, greens, plants and more that will be at the market, along with Melody’s baked stuff, Kenny’s unique items and we are adding Singleton Farm’s this year to supply eggs. McColley’s will be along later in the season.

You will hear from me Sunday!

Market Open This Week!

Happy New Year to you all,

We will be doing an online-order-only market this week to provide you all with some fresh stuff to keep you healthy during these dark winter days. We have a limited quantity of Brussels Sprouts this week,, one of our favorite annual treats on the farm. I may find that I have more than I have estimated, and if we do I will send out an update with the additional amount available and will extend the ordering window.

This will be an orders-only market and we will not have extras on our table.

Hours will be as always…… please plan to pick up on Wednesday between 4 and 6 PM.

We are fortunate to say that we love you all and pray for a wonderful New Year for everyone. One meets the absolute best people in this business and we miss you!

Bob and Lynnita
