Market open


We have some excitement in our house this week……… my 92 year old mom is flying in for a visit from California to spend a couple of weeks with us and meet her great-grandkids! I am so grateful that she still has her health and is courageous enough to make the trip. Our market will continue as scheduled and we hope that you come out and get a chance to meet “DJ”.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Beans for canning by the bushel


Hi Friends,

The girls harvested 3 bushels of beautiful, natural, chemical free, stringless green beans yesterday, Blue Lake and Provider varieties. If anyone wants some for canning please email or call me. I want to offer them to our customers first, but we will be posting to a wider audience later today to try and move them. $45 per bushel to our subscribed customers, $55 to others.

Thanks,
Bob

Market Open


Hi Friends,

The market is open for this week.
Lots of green beans for you in the mix of offerings. We have some family business to attend to this week, but Lynnita’s baked goods will be back on the list for the following week.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Market open.......


Hi Friends,

It is an exhausting time of year for us as we clean up most of our summer crops and replant for fall. Lots of new things are started and in the ground to carry our harvests in to early winter.

Our late planted green beans are on our list this week and we also have a new item. I planted a small amount of the petite Caribou Russet potato variety this year to see if we can grow a russet type without scab. It worked! If you try these I would appreciate your feedback to see if I should grow more next year. These are like new potatoes, with delicate skins and the short season didn’t allow them to size well, but they taste great!

Happy (and healthy) eating,
Bob & Lynnita

Ordering open


Hi neighbors,

Wishing all of you a happy Labor Day weekend. We have a special deal for you this week; Dutch Cut Montauk Sweet Corn. All the wet weather last week pushed all of our corn crop to ripen at once and we are offering you a special deal so we can move it quickly. We will Dutch Cut the ears (see the photo on the ordering page) to reduce storage space and to pre-prep them for freezing should you choose to do so. We are offering this corn in 10 lb. bags (equivalent to about a dozen full ears) for $4 per bag. A great deal for you and a good opportunity for you to put some in the freezer for a nice late-winter meal.

Lynnita will be baking this week, so we have bread and muffins for you, too.

Blessings,
Bob And Lynnita

Market Open for Ordering


Hi Friends,

Opening early again today so we can get to the field and dig the rest of our potatoes before the rains soak us this week. We have some beautiful sweet corn on the menu this week and a few large, lovely cantaloupes.

Looks like we might experience some high water for Wednesday, but we will be here and if you can’t make it safely we will hold your order until you can. You may pick up at will on Thursday or Friday. Stay safe this week.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Good Morning


Hi Friends,

I am getting out a little early this morning to begin transplanting some of our fall fare for you: Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts and Kale. Fall lettuce is also germinating and we have a lot of work ahead of us harvesting off the summer crops and preparing for the season ahead. Next week we will have a large amount of sweet corn for you.

In addition to what is listed today, we will have a nice assortment of heirloom tomatoes; Yellow Jubilee, Brandywine, Cherokee Purple and Rutgers on the table this week. We also have a few bushels of Roma Canning tomatoes at $40 a bushel, so if you are fortunate enough to have canning lids, this is the time to get some. Leave a message in the “Notes” section of your order if you want me to hold some for you.

Have a Blessed Week,
Bob & Lynnita

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
