Market News
Welcome to October. The Market opens this morning to fall type weather. Pumpkin Pie reminds us of Fall and White City Produce and Greenhouse has edible pumpkins available. Thanksgiving is fast approaching so be sure to reserve your fresh turkey from West Wind Farms.
With the cooler weather comes greens and we have plenty this week. All kinds of varieties from Erdmann Farm, Flying S Farms, JourneyWorks Community Garden and others.
Besides baby ginger, Rocky Glade Farm introduces a Thai ginger to the Market which is used in Thai cooking but also can be used as a medicinal tea.
As summer winds down, we have several varieties of beans available including wax beans from Rainbow Hill Farm that are perfect for preserving for the winter months.
Wedge Oak Farm has plenty of artisan sausages. Besides the artisan bratwurst, you can also find a hot chicken sausage, a honey pig sausage, a korean ginger sausage and several others flavors.
Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has this message:
After more rain than I care to think about, hopefully we will see some sunshine later today! I’m excited! It’s time to start cleaning out the fall garden and planting perennials and bulbs for next spring’s bloom! Fall is actually the best time of year to plant perennials, as well as a great time to get a jump on your spring gardening. Fall-planted perennials establish a strong root system over winter, allowing for spectacular spring blooming. It’s definitely time to take advantage of Dogwood Valley Greenhouse‘s “Fall Special” on perennial and herb plants and ferns: Buy 3, get one of equal or lesser value free. Please make a note on your order form of which plant you would like for free (name 3 choices).
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.
