It's Kiwi time

The Kiwis are ripening so we know it's time to make our delicious Kiwi Jam. We have been sold out since last May due to a poor kiwi crop in 2020. However, this year we picked over 200 kiwis. Our supply is fully stocked and ready for you Kiwi lovers.

Satsuma Orange Jelly

We visited our South Georgia relatives for Thanksgiving and returned home with two bushels of Satsumas from the family farm. Of course, what did we do with them?  make Satsuma Jelly.......and Minted Satsuma Bites. Just in time for Christmas gifts and holiday cooking. 

Check out the pics  below.

Turnips and other greens

It seems as if we've transitioned from nice warm weather to the 30's and 50's. Not the optimum conditions for plants we have been nurturing since April but fine for the collards, broccoli, mustard and turnips. We love walking through the Backyard Garden and harvesting what's ready to eat, like the turnips below.

Backyard Garden Creations is also going strong with holiday gift giving. Let us know if we can help you with that unique Christmas gift. We are here for you!

Picking before the first frost

 Saturday was harvest time before the first frost of the season arrived. We picked a half bushel of kiwi and all varieties of peppers. We also move our bucket peppers which are still producing, into the greenhouse.

The end of market season

Market season ended this past Saturday with the Deer Festival in Monticello. While the weather was chilly, the customers turned out in droves. It was wonderful to see everyone who came to stock up for the winter months.  Many thanks to our Monticello Friends and especially Mandy and Brandi who did a great job organizing 3000 visitors

Of course, the end of market season brings the beginning of our Holiday season. Our jams and jellies are great for stocking stuffers and gifts for neighbors and friends.

Check out what's available and email me if we can help you stuff the stockings or feed your guests!

Eat Local- Garden to table.

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.

Eat Local!!

Another weekend of markets

 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.

Hope to see you again this weekend. Arrive early and beat the heat!!
