This Week at the Market

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day! I got to travel to Muscle Shoals to see my eldest son record his music with some legendary studio muscisions at Muscle Shoals Recording Studio! What a treat! Then back home to celebrate with my other two kids and granddaughter. I feel truly blessed!
We have lots of greens coming in now so you will see those added to the market. The veggies are growing like crazy now too! I have lots of little tomatoes popping out already so hoping for a banner tomato year!
If you need a bag of greens during the week, don’t hesitate to message me for a pickup mid-week. I won’t have those in the stand as they do not keep out in the heat.
Just message me at 404-805-3413.
Have a great week!

This Week at the Market

A good soaking of rain helped boost the seedlings and things are growing well here at the farm.
There are still tomato plants left and this is the last week to get them! For market customers only they are available for $3 each plant. Right now there are about 20 left. If you don’t care which variety, you can place an order online and I’ll set them aside, otherwise stop by and purchase at the stand this week for the sale price.
Have a great week!

This Week at the Market

It has been a very productive planting week here at the farm. Over a hundred tomato plants went in, eggplant, okra, 4 varieties of squash, 4 varieties of cucumbers, 3 varieites of beans, herbs, flowers and more!
The radish have matured and are added this week. Soon we should have kale, lettuce, swiss chard and sorrel!
The chicks are growing and are learning to peck and scratch like their mom. Lots of life here at the farm!
Have a great week,

Finally some good weather and several hours in the garden! I have managed to plant at least a hundred or so tomato plants!! This should be a big year for those (if Mother Nature permits)! I have a lot of plants still available for purchase. They are in the farmstand until they are all sold! Message me if you’d like some set aside for you. I can send a list of the varieties.
Up next are the squashes, cucumbers, and peppers to be planted. A busy week in the garden makes me happy!!
We had some action here this week as well. Mama hen hatched out 10 healthy baby chicks! They are so cute!
Our bee hives had another queen hatch so she took with her a swarm that my bee lady, Veronica, had to capture to put into a new box. I was planting when I heard a VERY loud BUZZZZZZZZ and saw a cloud of bees – quite a sight!!! They settled in a low branch of a tree so ot was easy to capture them. So now we will have 3 hives!
If you have been planting and have any left over plastic trays to get rid of – I can use them! Most of mine have been reused several years and are getting broken. You can leave them at the stand.

Thank you for all your support!

The weather has been all over the place this spring! From 84 to 30s with huge wind gusts and torrential rain – the usual for spring in GA! Not fun for planting however! I have held off on getting tomato plants in the ground thank goodness. I am hopeful that this week I can begin to get them planted as they’re outgrowing all their pots again. I will begin putting some out for sale at the stand later today.
Have a great week!

Easter Week

We’re going to begin planting this week! I’ve already got the peas, and beans in the ground, and more to follow. The tomato plants are looking great and I’ll have some of those for sale this week. I will update a few varieties online tomorrow if you’d like to pre-order. Otherwise, I’ll have them in the farmstand.
This is a busy week for us! My granddaughter turns one and we’ll be having a big party for her. I’ll be baking a special cake and doing some of the food for the party. So, between that and Easter dinner, I will not be able to do the usual full menu this week. We do have our Easter Lamb Cake available though!
Have a blessed week,

Good morning! Things are looking greener here at the farm, and I’m itching to plant! All the seedlings in the greenhouse are getting big and healthy and I’m going to start planting the heartier ones like peas, beans, broccoli, and the greens. I have great success with the tomatoes and may have overdone it a bit so I’ll be selling extra plants in a week or two.
Have a great week!

Happy Spring!!!

Today marks the vernal equinox – SPRING! Now that it is official, I am really hoping it warms up! We still follow the rule of no planting before Easter no matter how tempting it is! Good thing because these freezing nights have been harsh!
The greenhouse is thriving, and we have trays of microgreens ready to harvest. They are a mix of veggie seeds and super nutritious, and a crunchy addition to eggs, sandwiches, or anywhere you want to add a little zest. There’s also a couple mini bags of arugula available.
We’ve added the Easter Lamb Cake for you to see. You can either preorder now or wait until the week before Easter. They will be for pickup on the usual Saturday 4/8. If you need an earlier pickup in the week, I would suggest preordering so I can plan on the earlier orders.
Have a great week!
