Market News


Hello!

As we head into this first week in October, we want to take a minute to thank you all for a wonderful summer season! It sure started off hot, and was pretty scary at first, but you all were so supportive and enthusiastic along the way- it really helped us to make it through! Our desire as farmers is to provide you with the best produce we can possibly grow- the freshest, most nutritious, and most beautiful. It is what you deserve. It is what all humans deserve. We are strongly committed to being farmers that you can trust and can work together with in providing the highest quality food for yourself and your family. Your support of Fresh Harvest enables our livlihood as small farmers, and encourages the sustanability of our local and organic based economy. Again and again, we thank you for your support and commitment. Plus, we sure love to see your smiling faces on Wednesday!

Every season has its highs and lows, its successes and failures. We always wish we had organic corn to provide to you, or more green beans . The blueberries weren’t as bountiful as we hoped. But the tomatoes were plentiful, and the succession plantings of squash did well. We always gain from your input, so please let us know any joys or complaints from the season. It helps us to plan for the year ahead.

We do grow and sell year round. Last year we sold every week through the winter and into spring. It is weather dependent, but we do plan on having crops for you well past the New Year. These are grown in our protected hoophouses,, although some, like the carrots, do OK outside.

We do have a nice selection this week, but quantities are small on some items. Please let us know if you would like something that is listed as “sold out” and we will try to meet your request.

Lastly, please keep us in mind when planning your Thanksgiving. We will have turkeys from Wedge Oak Farm , pies from Dozen Bakery, and cheese trays for The Bloomy Rind. All of these will be per order. We will be delivering on Tuesday of that week, instead of Wednesday .

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
