100 and above for the markets this weekend.

 Due to the excessive heat predicted this weekend, we will only be at the market for a half  day in Forsyth.

No worries though shop early before the humidity sets in. We will be open and ready to serve you at 7:30 AM.

Eat Local!

Figs, Hot bananas and Jalapenos

 A wonderful mid-summer combination of garden gifts! Backyard full of peppers and front yard full of figs.  Time to make pickled peppers, fig jam, whole fig preserves, and bourbon fig jelly. 

Figs Are Busting Loose!

We go to great heights to harvest and bring to you Fig Jams-Jellies-Whole Fig Preserves.  We are always excited when the figs arrive and they have in abundance this week.  Just wish the squirrels did not know it was time to harvest!  They are relentless in gathering figs each day. The fig war has begun!

Figs are on the way!

Excited to find the first round of figs!  We love this time in July when the Strawberry Fig Jam, Whole Fig Preserves, and Bourbon Fig Jelly becomes a daily ritual in the Backyard Garden kitchen.

Come and check out the seasonal additions to our farmer's market table. 

 

Dill and Butterflies

Not only do we share with you various jams, jellies, and pickles from the Backyard Garden we share the dill plants with Monarch Butterfly Caterpillars!  Looking forward the the fall when the butterflies emerge and grace the gardens. 

Watching over the garden

 Another early morning sight to see at the Backyard Garden is the hawk ruling his roost. This one visits often and we are always amazed at the wingspan as he departs.

Stay safe from the weather and we'll see you this weekend!

Morning Walk In the Backyard Garden

Early morning is the best time to enjoy and appreciate the bounty of the garden.  A 6:30 coffee stroll is the normal start to many mornings before the heat and work of the day begins.
