Flash sale!!! Fresh corn!!!


I just picked up some fresh picked corn from my farm neighbor down yonder… he even shucked them! These are big and beautiful! I’ll post a picture on my Facebook page for reference.

They are .75 cents an ear and will sell each person up to 4 ears each so no one takes them all.
I have 30 ears available. Reply to this email and I will take orders first come first served.
Pick up Saturday on the porch in your order box.
Hoping he has more again!

Now open!


Someone just told me the market was not open! For some reason my morning newsletter disappeared and didn’t enable the market for ordering – sorry!
Now open!
We will be a little lighter this week as we are doing the Cherokee Market event on Saturday. We are stocking up on baked items so will have plenty! Stop by the event for live music, our goodies and more! The event is 12-5pm.
Thanks for your support of our market!

This Week at the Market


Good morning! There’s so much thriving now in the gardens. We’re adding eggplant, tomatillo tomatoes, “goldrush” yellow pole beans, and okra to the farmstand as they come in. Next week they will be available for preorder.
We’re back to canning again now too! So look for pickles and other jams in the next weeks to come.
We have a new vendor at the market! Welcome Katy! she is the maker of our new product – Granola! I had a sample bag this Saturday as I was hustling to get orders together and out for pick ups. It was delicious and healthy! Great for snacking or a breakfast on the RUN! You can order here or pick up a bag in the farm stand today!
You will notice we have a new category called Meal Train. This is for a group of folks that are doing meals for a friend of theirs and is not used for regular ordering. If you are here to order for the Meal Train, start with the instructions item to see how to order. I will be adding items over the next several weeks to keep the options open and to ensure it follows Carrie’s restrictions. If you have any requests, I am open to that – just send me an email.
Have a great week and thank you for supporting local!

The tomatoes and cucumbers are finally coming in! I also got a couple okra so those are around the corner too! I won’t list them yet until I get a steady harvest. They’ll be in the stand as they come in.
Hoping to dry up after the storm and spend lots of time in the gardens this week.
Thanks for all your support of our market!

Almost Officially Summer!


This Wednesday is the summer solstice! That means the fruits and veggies really start rolling in!
While we didn’t get fruit from our trees this year, we did get some juicy peaches from the state farmer’s market (thanks to Lisa at Cherokee Market)!! So look for items with these in our market.
Our basil is so plentiful so we have pesto available this week.
Tomatoes, and cucumbers are slowly coming in but again, not enough to list yet so check the stand on your way out fom picking up your order! They will also go in the stand during the week as they are picked so stop by any time!
Remember to return those jars and containers when you pick up and I will give you order credits. If I miss one, just note in the comments of your order that you returned containers.

Have a great week!

Thank God for the rain!!! Boy, did we need it! I have been watering the gardens EVERY night, but with this rain we should kick start the growth! I worked in the tomato garden this weekend, staking and priuning…. and ate several cherry and plum tomatoes :) Yes, they are coming soon! I already put out some green ones at the stand.
Beans are coming in strong, as are squash. I anticipate peppers, tomatillos, other beans, eggplant and cucumbers to follow soon!
A surprise this year was a squash plant I allowed to stay amid my herb patch. It turned out to be the casper pumpkins! I have those coming in NOW! They will be in the stand for purchase.
Spring always brings on new life. I had more chicks hatch this week, and…… found out we will be getting a Christams present – my daughter is pregnant again! YAY! Now, we wait and see if it is a boy or girl :)
Have a great week!

Good morning from the beach! I’m spending some good time with my parents before the gardens get really going. And spending every moment I can with them has become really important as they have gotten older. I will be back in time to jump into the kitchen and produce some yummy salads, soups and harvest what beautiful bounty we have coming in now. Squash is picking up, but not sure what I can list so those will be in the stand when you pick up orders. We will also have Blue Lake Pole Beans as well!
Have a great week!

We are open! A bit late ????
It’s hard to wait… but summer veggies are growing and still a few week out. There are squash coming in that I will put in the stand as they get big enough. Hopefully next week I can put them in the market, but for now it will be a small amount. Everything else is just doing well and growing! We are having to water daily, so once we get a good soaker I imagine things will pick up. As for now, the delightful spring coolness is perfect for the greens and lettuce.
I will be heading out of town Saturday for a couple days with my parents so the farm will be in the hands of the young ones. If you need any eggs or veggies between markets, it will be towards the end of next week when I get back.
Have a great week!

Things are beginning to really take off now in the garden! I’ve got lots of little green tomatoes and the plants are getting crazy – I’m having to prune them back already! We’re getting a small amount of beans in, but not enough for orders yet. Hoping to add those next week, as well as zucchini! A few orders of carrots are available this week. They are also added to our Chopped Salad Bag.
Greens are plentiful now! If you ever need a midweek order of those – just send me a message and I’ll pick for you.

Have a great week!
