Farm Update


As many of you know, we didn't plant a huge amount of produce this year. We really wanted to see how operating the farm with just road customers and customers from our mailing list would work before jumping in with both feet and deciding what the future would hold, the CSA or what we're experimenting with this year. We will make that decision at the end of the season. Any comments from any of you would be appreciated and could certainly have an effect on which direction we go.

We may not have planted our usual amount and variety of things this year, but as far as the tomatoes we did. The tomatoes are beginning to come in nicely and we offer all of them for $1.49 per pound. The heirloom varieties we have are: Cherokee Purple, Paul Robeson, Brandywine, Mortgage Lifter, Caspian Pink, Amish Paste and I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple. The more traditional tomatoes we have are: Big Beef, Better Boy, Early Girl, Celebrity, Roma, San Marzano.

We will have corn this weekend from the Miller Farm in White Hall, Friday afternoon through Sunday.

A few blueberries remain to pick, but this will probably be the last week.

Available this week:

Tomatoes
Carrots
Potatoes
Onions
Cantaloupe
Beets
Green Beans
Turnips
Blueberries

Plenty of our chicken in the freezer and next week we will have fresh again.
