June 9 Farm Stand

Thanks to everyone who came out last week to kick off our opening farm stand! It was great to see all of our regular customers as well as lots of new faces.

As we were packing up for the day, two men came running down the street toward us. They asked if we were closed and I said we were packing up but we still have various things available. We chatted a bit. The men worked at the pizza shop down the street. One of the men talked about how wants to have property one day where he could raise animals and would love to talk to us more about it. He purchased two dozen eggs, "so that his daughters could eat something fresh." Having a daughter ourselves, this tugged at our hearts and reminded us why we do what we do. We help people make better food choices, even if it's a little at a time. And that's what it's all about.

And with that, here's the full list we'll have this Saturday, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in Blawnox. We accept cash and Farmer's Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) checks.

Pastured eggs
Garlic Scapes (make this pesto or add to salads/stir frys)
Onion scapes (use like green onions, mild fresh flavor)
Herbs -- chives, tarragon, and dill
Transplants for your backyard garden -- tomatoes, hot peppers, swiss chard, lavender, ground cherries, and sweet marjoram.
