Tomato Deal


We had a fairly slow weekend and have a lot of tomatoes available. So taking a page out of our economics book having to do with supply and demand......

This week through Sunday all tomatoes will be .99 cents a pound. We still have most varieties. If you want a large quantity, a 30 pound crate of tomatoes is $28.

We will not be getting the Miller Farm corn this weekend, but will have some of our own on hand.

The next fresh chicken weekend will be 9/6-9/9 and will be the last for this year.

Have a great Labor Day weekend.

This week on the Farm and half priced chicken


We are having a half price sale on wings and drumsticks now through the weekend 8/26.  Wings and legs will be $2.25 per pound!!

We are really in that transitional period of the summer produce winding down and the fall produce just starting to grow. All the late season plantings are doing nicely in the cooler weather we've been having. We will keep you posted on how things are coming. We do have chicken in the freezer and our next fresh chicken weekend will be 9/6-9/9. Our egg production is still not good and we are deciding what steps to take to remedy that situation.

We have plenty of tomatoes and wanted to remind anyone that is interested in canning or making sauce that we sell a crate (30 pounds) for $28. We had a family purchase 180 pounds last week, here's a picture of the results of that purchase


















This week we have:

Tomatoes
Onions
Green Beans
Herbs
Kabocha (winter squash like butternut)
Grapes (a limited amount of a variety some seedless and some not)
Our corn(picked fresh upon your arrival)

This week on the farm


All the Fall plantings are in! Last night with the storms going through the area, we sat with the lap top watching the radar in hopes we wouldn't get a downpour that would wash away everything we had just planted. Things look fine this morning. The last couple of weeks have been very busy (thank you!) and we have sold out of many things. We are out of boneless breasts and thighs, but still have wings, legs and whole chicken available. We still have a few beets, onions and potatoes. We still have plenty of tomatoes, although the heirlooms have really slowed down. We are selling our own organically grown corn now. There is a limited amount. We will pick it on request, so if you come for some, plan on a ten minute picking time. We have dug all the sweet potatoes and they look beautiful. We will let them cure for a couple of weeks to build up the sugar content. We also have a few of our grapes that are ripe and delicious, more will ripen through the next couple of weeks. We planted a variety, some seedless table grapes, some juice grapes with seeds. The bean beetles have devoured the green beans, we have more coming in a few weeks. We will have plenty of corn this weekend, as usual, from the Miller Farm.

Available this week:

Tomatoes
Onions
Corn
Beets
Potatoes
Kabocha Squash (winter squash)
Basil, Rosemary, French Thyme, Lemon Thyme, Oregano, Tarragon

We will be closing at 5p on Thursday. Vicky has her pinning ceremony! She has made it through nursing school!!! She worked her, you know what, off and did incredibly well. I'm really proud of her.
