Show us your stuff!

Black From Tula


Mother's Day weekend is upon us. This is probably the biggest weekend for us at the market. Forecast calls for sunny and mild, so I had better get my sleep tonight because we are going to be BUSY tomorrow! I am hoping this list is our complete inventory as to what we will have at market tomorrow.


****I am looking for real customers to use in my social media settings. If you have a picture, story, or recipe that uses or pertains to our plants or produce, make yourself a part of our lives! That is what I like best about being a vendor at the market ---- our people! I love to talk about life and share the happiness and burdens we have, that is what we are meant to do.****

Spring 2016: week two






Aaron and Ethan hard at work.


I have updated the previous post with some more produce plants. Please take a look and see if there is anything that strikes your fancy. I always welcome comments, discussions, questions, recipes, and even jokes if you got 'em!
Here are some farm photos. 

Our chicken coop got an upgrade. Now their castle is lit up so the boys can see when they go out to collect the eggs. 

I'm just the supervisor - after back surgery, I don't do all the back breaking work anymore, that's what husbands and sons are for, right???

I will take credit for being the brains (a little - LOL) and I did help build this beast of a greenhouse.

Aaron's babies....




Just checking to see if anybody even reads my blog. Gotcha!
