Ding-Ding....Hear Ye---Hear Ye THE MARKET IS OPEN
Last Sunday of April and the excitement of May is in the air! The term ‘April showers bring May flowers’ comes to mind after a full rainbow was over our farm yesterday and seeing more greener surroundings and everything coming alive. Things are coming alive on the Market too, 3 new Growers along with returning Growers, several new items listed and a upcoming event!

Welcome new Growers:

We are a fairly new farm, established in 2017 but only fully committed to the farm life this year. We never use pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, or synthetic fertilizers on our vegetable crops and we are moving toward the most sustainable forms of agriculture like composting, no-till practices, and cover cropping on fallow ground. All our greens are picked, washed, and packaged within days of delivery for the best quality and longest lasting greens possible.
