The muscadines have arrived

 It's that time of year again. Pears are being picked for vanilla pear jam, pear preserves and pear relish. It's also time for muscadines. We picked 2 bushels of the grapes last weekend and we are eagerly anticipating the sweet muscadine jelly. 

We look forward to sharing our produce with you this coming weekend.

 Another weekend of markets is upon us and we are ready to serve your needs. We have plenty of stock in seasonal jams and jellies and also fresh produce. While garden ripe tomatoes are few and far between, our supplies of peppers, both sweet and spicy, okra and pears are in abundance.

 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.

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!
