Last Farm Stand! September 28

The time has come again where we say farewell to the season. Tomorrow will be our last farm stand for 2012. It's been a bit of a wild season, between weather, bugs, and some other growing pains. But with craziness comes the opportunity to learn and this year was full of teaching moments.

So come by tomorrow, even if it's just to say farewell to the season. We are so grateful to all of our customers who support us week to week, always reminding us why we do what we do.

Eggs will still be available for pick up at our house in Blawnox throughout the fall and winter. Just shoot us an email or call to order.

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.

Radishes
Fingerling Potatoes

September 8 Farm Stand

To make an easy fresh salsa dice up or food process tomatoes, onion,
jalapeno, salt and pepper. Adjust ratios to your liking.
Optional: cilantro & a squeeze of lime.

This week we've been busy in the kitchen, eating, canning and freezing as much summer goodness as we can. We've roasted veggies, canned tomatoes, enjoyed fresh salsa, whipped up an easy greek zucchini salad, and bottled a beautiful purple basil and garlic vinegar that we should have at the farm stand in a few weeks. This is the crazy time of the year, but it's also the tastiest.

We mentioned on Facebook that we were trying out ground cherry jam in hopes to sell this weekend. Unfortunately, we just don't have the recipe down just yet. We'll keep you posted if it ends up working out. It takes a lot of ground cherries to make the jam and since they preserve so well in their husks, jam may not be the best use.

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.

Fingerling Potatoes
Lettuce
Heirloom Tomatoes - Eva Purple Ball, Gold Medal, Red Cherry, Roma
