Good Morning, hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

We look forward to seeing you on the Porch this Wednesday, May 10th from 5-6:15, with deliveries following. Know that our growers have the hour prior to get their products organized so things might be a bit hectic (and crowded) if you come early.

If you place your order and think you forgot to order something else, sign back in and order as many times you need to. It will be all added together when Market closes.

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.
