Fresh harvest - Deliveries starting next week!
This post expired on February 24, 2024.
Hello!
There has been a beautiful series of warm and sunny days, almost enough to make us forget how cold this winter has been!
We are set to resume delivery next week – the first week in March. What a way to celebrate the coming of spring! Please expect an email announcing the Market opening on Sunday, March 2nd for delivery that Wednesday, March 5th.
We will be back with our full range of local providers and producers. We are so happy to work with Bear Creek Farm, Wedge Oak Farm, Dozen Bakery, Twin Forks Farm Artisan bread and granola, The Bloomy Rind cheese shop, Little Seed farm goat milk soap, Bongo Java coffee, and Tru Bee honey!
Our produce was really devasted this winter, and we will not have a big selection of vegetables until the spring growing really kicks in. Crops that in the past made it through the winter – kale, swiss chard, lettuces – were either outright killed from the cold or stopped producing altogether. So, for us it has been a return to the winter of the old days, when we actually stopped growing crops for awhile and had to wait for the earth to warm and the days to lengthen before we could plant new crops for a late spring harvest.
Although we haven’t been selling as much, we have been busy with other projects and concerns. John has much plastic to replace and this year’s strawberry plants to worry about. Tally has been doing a lot of seeding to get a new round of crops in as early as possible, and doing some floral design work for winter time weddings.We have missed our weekly time seeing you all, and look forward to the regular routine when we can catch up with your news. Your smiling faces really help make our week! In many ways our Fresh Harvest customers are our community, isolated farmers that we are, and we appreciate your support and commitment so much. Thank you so much for your patience this winter!
Remember to look for the Market to be open next week!
John and Tallahassee
