Farmer's Market

Photobucket


"First rule in roadside beet sales: the most attractive beets on top. The ones that make you pull the car over and go: wow, I need this beet right now..... those are the money beets."

-Dwight K. Schrute-

We're taking Dwight's advice as we have too much produce from my mom's gianormous garden and are sharing her gardening creations with those that would like some fresh, organic food. The main draw are the raspberries, which we are selling for $3.00/lb, a smoking deal considering they are fresh of the vine and less expensive than Costco or grocery stores on sale. I have to wait for the dew to dry before I pick them, and then it takes about 2 hours, so they are usually ready in the near afternoon. We are averaging 15lb per picking, and people have been buying like 10 lb at a time, so they sell out each afternoon. We are on a strict picking schedule: MONDAYS & THURSDAYS.
So if you are near and want to make some jam, or freeze them, raspberries will be available on Mondays and Thursdays through the end of the harvest. Or tell your Mom if she's in my area too. Mom's are always looking for a good deal and like to make jam right?

Also available right now:
***All this produce you'll pick fresh out of the garden. If you've never eaten a tomato that's warm from the sun on the vine, come over!

-beets, 4 beets/ $1 (I wasn't making the dwight connection for nothing)

-green bell peppers 3/$1

-anaheim peppers 2/$1

-cucumbers 3/$1

-tomatoes Roma: $.50/lb Slicing: $.75/lb

-parsley, handful for $0.25
We're trying to make the prices less expensive then stores, because fresh out of a garden sometimes isn't perfect. But it is organic....for those who are into that. No pesticides, if that's how you define organic.
Next month we'll have PUMPKINS!
