A new twist

 Of course everyone knows, we attend the markets to sell what we have grown and produced. However, in the last two weeks, our customers and fellow vendors have given us everything from jars, (we love them) pears, (several bushels) and a variety of other produce. That includes tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapenos, chayote Squash and a bag full of pomegranates. Thanks so much for thinking about us and know that we are  putting everything to good  use.

Eat Local! Hope to see you at the market!

Rainy days

Rainy days this time of year usually mean an abundance of plant growth later in the month. We are definitely looking forward to that especially with the Forsyth Market extending until Oct. 30.

Also, check out the beautiful muscadine jelly we made this weekend with grapes from Camille and Morgan.

Amazing markets

We really enjoy participating in the farmer's markets each week and this week was no different. Cooler temperatures really brought out the foot traffic. Plus, we were invited to pick muscadines by one of our customers and we were happy to oblige. Muscadine Jelly is certainly on next weeks "take to market" list.

We were also notified the Forsyth Market is extending the market season until the end of October. The Monticello Market is adding October 10th to their schedule too. Great news! We are excited about serving your cool weather  and holiday gift giving needs!

Garden Harvest September 6

Today we picked Okra, Hot banana peppers and Jalapenos. As you can see by the picture below, it was a bountiful harvest. Tomorrow we will pick Bell Peppers, Cayenne and Eggplant.The garden is still growing strong early in September despite the recent hot and humid stretch of temperatures.

We also had the opportunity to pick pears from a neighbor's tree Saturday. They were big and in abundance. We brought home 2 full boxes which means more pear preserves and vanilla pear jam is on the way.

Hope to see you at the markets. Eat Local.
