Market News
Hello!
Despite the cooler temps, it is time to be thinking of summer crops! John will have his tomato plants for sale this week. These plants are raised on John’s farm using organic seed and organic potting mix, and come in a selection of great tasting, tried and true varieties. Next week, Tally will be offering her basil plants, also all organically raised. These will include the classic ‘Genovese’, lemon, lime, purple, and cinnamon varieties. There are also some rosemary plants available this week , started from cuttings from Tally’s 12 year old rosemary plant!
We have a lovely selection of beautiful spring crops for you this week – mostly good greens for salads and for cooking. We know you are all anxiously awaiting our organic strawberries, and they are about 2 weeks away. The crop appears to be a good one this year, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed.
You may have noticed last week we have new bags! This go round they are purple! We do so appreciate you bringing us back our bags when you pick up your order. We also are glad to take egg cartons and any of the plastic bags we give you. We do not at this point have any use for containers, such as plastic berry boxes, that were not ours. We just end up having to take them to the recycling center. No curb side pick up for us in the country.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday
John and Tallahassee
