As you can see from the picture below, we are busy turning tomatoes into the delicious and savory tomato jam.
The small batch approach allows us to use our tomatoes during the short "summer window" to produce just enough for us to enjoy and share with others. After the summer season, we'll begin the transition towards other fall crops. Presently though, it's important for us to create a supply so we can fulfill your orders now and in the future.
Both markets in Monticello and Forsyth were outstanding.
We sold out of both of our breads- zucchini bread and applesauce fig bread. We'll have more supply for you next week for sure.
Late July harvests are slowing a bit but there's still a good supply of some vegetables. As the summer crops fade, we are already planning with the fall season in mind.
We'll attend the markets this weekend and will feature a variety of peppers including lunchbox and habaneros along with okra, eggplant and fresh picked figs. We'll also have a limited supply of our ever popular Zucchini Bread and a new item.... Applesauce Fig Bread. It's delicious!!!
Those of you who requested special orders, we'll have your orders ready for pick-up when you arrive at the market. Thanks for ordering ahead of time. We appreciate your support.
We had a great day at the Forsyth Market despite being one of only two vendors and closing early to miss the rain. We'll be in Monticello Saturday with Habanero Peppers, Hot Banana Peppers, Bell Peppers and eggplant. Plus our jams and jellies are in full season..... especially the addition of our Whole Fig Preserves and Bourbon Fig Jelly. We sold out of zucchini bread today but are rushing home now to bake a couple of loaves for tomorrow (Monticello).
See you there!
It was another great week at the markets last week. We sold out of several items including banana peppers, tomato jam and zucchini bread. Don't worry as we are hard at work creating more product. Many of our customers were repeat business and we definitely appreciate the support.
Figs are being picked now and they are in abundance as you can see from the pic below. I know many of you, at both markets, were looking for whole fig preserves. Good news, we will have them in limited supply at both markets this week.
Also, way to go Susan! She emailed Peggy earlier today to request four jars of our fig preserves. Susan waits patiently all season for figs to appear. That's the best way to ensure you won't miss out!
You can always shoot me an email or respond to the blog post if you need a special order. We love filling special orders when possible. Remember....we are small batch so at times a popular item can go fast.
We have a new jam to share with you and some favorites possible with the harvest of the figs. We created "Georgia Peach Cobbler Jam" based on an old family recipe. It's peachy delicious! Also, the Strawberry Fig Jam is back as is the Corn Cob Jelly. We will have a variety of peppers and green beans as well as our popular finishing salts.
Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. We would love to talk gardening, jellies or even the weather.
As you can see below, the fig harvest is beginning. We picked 25 today and there are more on the way. Strawberry Fig Jam, Whole Fig Preserves and Fig Jelly are our most popular items. We enjoy eating them over a variety of desserts.
Here's just a few of the vegetables we'll bring to the Market on the Square in Monticello Saturday.
