Weblog from a few of our Grower’s:
Singing Bee Honey: Thank you for the support of our farm! The inventory of honey is dwindling to a few small jars, but worry not, the girls are thriving and bringing in a lovely spring nectar. We will be releasing the spring harvest in the coming weeks. The wait will be worth it, I promise! We will also be releasing new products this year including bee pollen granules and wax products. You may also see some veggies pop up in our shop over the season because what goes better together than bees and gardens? We hope to bring you some interesting and different varieties than what you will see in the grocery stores, but we’ll also have crowd favorites. This week is spring turnip tops and cilantro.
Oakview Farm: This week we have fresh spinach, mustards, and green kohlrabi this week. Also, try our delicious free-range chicken and duck eggs
Sow’s Ear Piggery: Available this week, Mild Breakfast Sausage, Ground Pork, Pork Stew Meat, Pork Ribs – thick southern style and Pork Shouler 16-17.
Our heritage breed pigs are outdoor-free-range, heritage breed pigs raised on non-GMO, non-corn, non-soy feed and fresh produce. No antibiotics, hormones, or animal by-products. Comes frozen and unseasoned. USDA inspected
Bean Man: Happy May everyone! We trust everyone will enjoy the warmer temperatures as we celebrate Mother’s Day weekend.
We have our full range of Fresh Dry Beans, Bean Mixes, Scottish Oatmeal, Gluten Free Flours and Ready to Mix Products available. Need a quick, healthy meal or snack? Don’t forget our Bean Dip, Refried Bean. Pancake or Pizza Crust Mixes. Easy and quick to prepare as well as suiting a broad range of dietary needs, these mixes help make things easier for you and are a wonderful alternative to processed foods in the store. Also check out the recipe page on our website for many great ideas to use with your fresh ingredients. Thank you!
Pinky’s Micros: We grow all different kinds of microgreens. Ones that everyone always can find at stores and some that people never ever seen before besides in high end restaurants. I want to bring people fresh microgreens so they can enjoy the health benefits plus also feel like a chef at home.
Microgreens and sprouts are extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals and vitamins and chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are fresher.
Enjoy a dazzling array of new flavors. Plants are at their absolute peak of flavor intensity at this stage of life.
