Market News
The Market is back open this morning with a couple of farmers returning from their Winter hiatus. Rainbow Hill Farm returns with their Salad Bowl, which is a large bowl of young lettuce that can be picked and eaten fresh. The lettuce plants will regrow if watered and fertilized like any growing plant. Speaking of growing plants, White City Produce and Greenhouse returns this week with lots of plants available for your Spring Garden. You will find cabbages, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and squash plants for a perfect garden.
Farmer Brown is transitioning from Winter to Summer lettuce amd will be off the Market for a couple of weeks.
Flying S Farms has restocked the supply of Almost Seedless Blackberry Jam and added to her listing of cakes.
Rocky Glade Farm brings a new Asian Green to the Market. They still have strawberries but quantities wil not be known in time for ordering. Watch for them this Wednesday at pick up.
Notes from our other vendors:
From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Tomato and bell pepper plants are now available in gallon pots, large and strong and ready to transplant. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has four varieties of tomatoes and three of peppers this year. The herbs and hanging baskets all look great as well. We also have several new perennial friends flowering this week, as well as most of the ones listed the previous two weeks. New this week are coral bells and scabiosa, as well as several varieties of ferns and euonymous or “burning bush.” Don’t forget our beautiful planters for Mother’s Day! Purchase or reserve your one-of-a-kind planter now before they are gone.
Thank you so much.
Blessings,
Linda
