Reminder


Hi Folks,

Just want to remind you all that we will not be at the Farmer’s Market at the park for the next few weeks, but you can still order here and pick your orders up on Wednesdays between 4 and 7 PM at Berea Gardens. We can now accept bank cards (American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa) for your payments as well as checks and cash.

We still have a nice selection of things for you and hope to see you soon!

Blessings,
Bob

This week's offerings


Hello,

Cauliflower is back on our list this week. We are just beginning to cut our second planting. Red cabbage is also on our list this week along with broccoli and this will be our last week for romaine lettuce for a while. Hope to hear from you!

This week's offerings


Hi Folks,

The weather is finally catching up with the calendar and our summer crops are in and beginning to take off. Not long before we have our first green beans and tomatoes, with summer squash almost here. For the time being, we have some great romaine lettuce and some truly nice broccoli among our other offerings.

Blessings to you,
Bob

Post-holiday Harvest


We have added some very nice red cabbage to the list this week. It is very sweet and makes wonderful coleslaw with the added antioxidants and vitamins of a red cabbage variety. Have a great week!

Blessings,
Bob

Store is open


Here is your availability

Nice lettuce!


Hi folks,

Sorry for the late update. We have a training session here this week and I have been a little preoccupied, but ordering is open for Wednesday pick-ups and we have some really nice lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower this week.

Blessings,
Bob

Cauliflower!


This week’s fare includes the addition of our first cauliflower of the season. We waited a long time for this and it is worth the wait. Nice, flavorful heads.

Also, check out the tomato plants we have to offer. I also have a few extra eggplant and hungarian wax peppers (not listed, but you can get them when you pick up.)

Blessings to all,
Bob, Lynnita and Jordyn

Broccoli!!!


The broccoli is finally here, and wow, is it nice. Cool, slow growing conditions have allowed it to develop some great mineral content and wonderful sweetness.

Lots of lettuce and kale this week, too.

We're back!


I don’t need to tell you that it has been a rough winter for vegetable farmers here in Calhoun County, but we are back in the produce business with some very nice lettuce varieties, some early spring kale, and a few heads of small but tasty broccoli.

Soil temperatures are still quite cool for this time of year and that means a slower than normal start for the warm season veggies, but we have a good variety of things in the ground and are holding lots of transplants in the propagation house until the soil is a consistent 62 degrees.

I don’t have them listed on the store site, but I have lots of tomato plants ready to go, so if you want to “grow your own” I will have them available when you pick up your orders. We have some great heirloom varieties including the local favorite “Hillbilly.” We also have Mr. Stripey, Brandywine, Rutgers, Yellow Jubilee, Old German, Amish Paste and a few Jersey Giants. The plants are in great condition and we are only asking $4 for a large six-pack.

We hope to see you soon, and remember that we are also at the Calhoun County Farmer’s Market at the Upper West Fork Park on Wednesdays from 9 to 1.

Blessings,
The Gregory’s
