This Weekend


Hi Everyone,

As we sit here at lunch time watching the rain, we thought we would give you an update. Vicky's supposed to be picking beans and I digging potatoes, but it's a bit wet at the moment. Rocky 5 was captured Sunday and I've determined I could catch a raccoon every night for eternity if I wanted to. We have stopped trapping as I have a new system in place where we can lock up all the chickens safely at night. I guess we will have to surround the corn field with traps when it's ready to pick. The raccoons LOVE corn.

Speaking of corn. We will start having sweet corn next weekend 7/19-7/21. The corn is Silver King a non-GMO hybrid that has been around for years and is really tasty. The corn is grown on the Maple Border Farm in White Hall. We will have some of our own corn in a few weeks, but we just don't have the space to plant a large amount.

With the demise of our apiary, we have hooked up with Forest Hill bee keeper extraordinaire Cybil Preston. We have available now local raw honey! It's packaged conveniently in 12 ounce honey bear jars for easy pouring.

We are open until 7 this evening and will be open 8-8 Saturday and Sunday. Regular week day hours are 9-7.

Available now:

Green Beans (when it stops raining)
Potatoes
Green Bell Peppers
Sweet Onions
Garlic
Yellow Squash
Zucchini
Cucumbers (half price at .80 cents a pound) WOW what a deal!!
Beets
Carrots
Honey

Hope to see you this weekend!



Vicky and Steve
