August 25 Farm Stand

This week's fingerling potatoes
This past weekend we headed up to Buffalo for my (Kristie) 15-year high school reunion. Since Brett was in Iraq for the 10-year reunion, I really wanted him to join me this time so we cancelled the farm stand and made it a little getaway. It ended up being a blast; I happen to have graduated with some very awesome and fun people. But what really surprised me is how many people follow our farm through Facebook or the blog. Countless people asked me about it, told me that they think it's great what we are doing and how our posts inspire them to eat more fresh food. Seriously-I had no idea. Sometimes you put this information out there and you're not really sure who sees it or reads it. And then all of a sudden you hear about the impact that you're having on people and, man, it brings the warm and fuzzies.

So if you're reading this, we want to continue to be a source of inspiration. As you can imagine we're a bit short on time these days, but we're going to strive to provide regular fresh, helpful, and interesting content.

But back to the day to day. We'll have lots of eggs so we shouldn't sell out so quickly this week. Brett dug up some beautiful fingerling potatoes that are so tender and flavorful. There will be plenty of tomatoes, especially the red cherry, and we are also bringing back the lovely dragon's tongue wax bean from Clarion River Organics.

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.
