Market News
Hello!
Fresh Harvest has been selling the Hershberger family’s produce for over 15 years. They are an Amish family that has provided excellent produce for Fresh Harvest over the years. Abraham relies on a neighbor’s phone to call me every Sunday when they have items available. When I’m not near my phone, Abraham will leave me a message with all the items and quantities that he wants me to list on the Market page. He’ll call me back Tuesday morning to find out what has sold and what he needs to harvest. Today is a first. He called me twice while I was outside and he did not leave a message. He doesn’t trust technology, so he will usually call me back to see if I got his list; but not this week. Anyway, we have a nice selection of items this week.
Blue Honey Farms thinks that they might have one more week of blueberries after this week. I’ve listed Cherokee Purple tomatoes as well as mucho Sunsugar cherry tomatoes. We have added a couple of new varieties of potatoes, Yukon Gem and All Blue. The All Blue potato seems like a novelty, but they are really delicious that compliments their appearance.
It’s unusual to have tasty, local lettuce available in mid-summer. Both Pig & Leaf Farm and RnR Farm have figured out a way to keep the delicious lettuce growing in the heat.
The Peach Truck has freestone peaches this week. They will be set up next to us throughout the peach season.
Dozen Bakery cookies and breads, eggs, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.
Hemp Honey and Sorghum are available under Honey.
You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!
If you need to text me, my number is 615-838-0428.
