Farm Update

Who Needs Apples?

We have an opportunity to purchase apples and cider from the same certified organic farm in Pennsylvania that Mom's Organic Market get there apples from.   The best part is that while Mom's charges $2.99 and 3.99 a pound, we will be able to charge $2.50 a pound.  You can order as much or as little as you want.  A half bushel is about 20 pounds and a case is 37 pounds.  I will have to know by noon Friday.  You can email or call.  If we have enough interest, I will make the trip to pick them up.  If not..never mind.  The varieties available are Golden Supreme, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Ida Red, York and Fuji.  The cider is made from nothing other than the organic apples, no preservatives and is not heated/pasteurized.  It has a shelf life of two weeks.  After that you may get a smile on your face, and some false confidence.  The cider is $9 a gallon $5.50 a half gallon.  A good opportunity to stock up on delicious organic apples for the holidays and the cold weather ahead.  Once again, please let me know by noon on Friday.  We can only do this by pre-ordering.

We will be open Saturday morning 9-12.  We have gone through our first plantings of broccoli and cauliflower and now will wait for the second plantings to mature.  We will have Kale available this Saturday for $2 a paper grocery bag full(bring your own bag), the salad mix is half price at $1.50 a bag(our biodegradable bag) and the green peppers remain at a dollar a pound. (most of the bigger ones have been sold)


This Saturday morning's bounty:

Mild Salad Mix
Green Peppers
Swiss Chard
Kale
Turnips
Radishes
Arugula
Chicken
Eggs
Honey




 

See you soon!

Locally yours,
Vicky and Steve
