Market News

Hello!

We’ve got a bounty of summer produce for you! Now is a great week for you to think of preserving some of our offerings. Cucumbers for pickles, tomatoes for canning, basil for pesto in the freezer, cabbage for kimchi or sauerkraut. Are you thinking about winter yet? We farmers are! It is always amazing to be in the thick of summer and be needing to plan our crops for Fall and Winter. So these days, in addition to harvesting daily the tomatoes, squashes, cukes and green beans, we are seeding and transplanting the crops we’ll be harvesting for you come September and October.

This week we have local, organically grown berries for you! We will be offering blueberries from Blue Honey Farm in Eagleville, Tn. These are unsprayed, organically grown blueberries. You can read more about their farm on the “Our Grower’s” Page of the website, and contact them directly with any questions. We will continue to have their berries in the weeks ahead! We will also have a limited supply of blackberries from Natural Fields Farm in Gallatin. These berries are listed under the “fruits” section on the Market page offerings on the left side of the page.

Please remember you can read information about all of our growers and producers on the “Our Growers” page. We want you to know and love all of the Fresh Harvest vendors, just as we do. Most of them we have worked with for many years and we value their friendships as well as are proud to be able to offer you their products.

This week we will have the Peach Truck with us again. Lucky us! And the peaches are just getting better and better. And please remember to support our other wonderful vendors like Little Seed Farm soaps, Dozen Bakery Twin Forks farm bread and granola, Tru Bee honey, and cheeses from The Bloomy Rind.

Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
