We have closed the Farm Stand for the 2008 season. Next year promises to be bigger and better. Sweet potatoes this year were a success, so I will offer them for next year. More Broccoli for all you Broccoli buffs. Much more turnips and potatoes. Also new for next year will be 4 different types of Basil. Check out this page for updates next year, around March. Have a wonderful Winter and thank you.

Well the veggies are coming to a end. I just harvested fresh basil, beets, Swiss chard, and tomatoes. Also available for the first time this year are Candy Onions. Very sweet and juicy. Stock these up for the winter. Keep in a dry cool place. I still have a lot of peppers. The grillers, sweet, hot, and salsa mixes. I am out of honey, but have a limited amount of Cactus honey powder. This stuff is great! We threw out the sugar and substituted with cactus honey powder. 100% freeze dried honey from cactus flowers. Good for tea, coffee, baking or sprinkled on cereals. Again I will have new fresh basil. Sorry out of potatoes, rutabaga, kohlrabi, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini and cucumbers. Don't forget the honey Ice-cream. The large stand will be open this Saturday only from 10-4 Of course the small 24-7 stand will be open till I shut down. {To be announced} See ya at the farm Ed and Audi

With all the rain that we got last week came all the vegetables. Beets! Yes the Sweet beets are ready. Also white and cheddar cheese cauliflower is ready, along with broccoli. Both the cauliflower and broccoli are extremely sweet. And.... Zucchini!!!!!!! Local grocery stores only sell one type of zucchini and usually only 5 inches long. I offer 5 different types! Pale green, yellow, Black, dark green, and light green. These zukes are approximately 10 to 12 inches long. Perfect for grilling, stuffing, stir fry, or bread. I still have some lettuce mix. Bright lights Swiss chard is also there and will be offered throughout the year. If you have any of your favorite recipes using zucchini email me it and I will share them with all my customers in the next farm stand update email. Now for the herbs. From this weekend on, I will offer Fresh Sweet basil, fresh dill, oregano and sage. They will be sold in bunches for, yes, you guessed it, $4.00 each. Just take a fresh bunch out of the container on put in a separate bag. When you get home cut ends a bit and store in a shallow container with some water, out of the sun. It will keep longer this way. Or you can dry for later use. Another item that has been selling off the shelves is the Honey habanera BBQ sauce. This BBq is not as hot as you think. The immature habaneras used in this BBq give it a good spicy tang and kick without the extreme heat you might expect. I think this is the best BBq I have ever used and apparently so does everyone else.

The Farm stand will be open this Friday, Saturday and Sunday all day. You know the routine. Help yourself. Veggies are in the fridge. I also have pickled garlic, some jams, dips, hot sauces, jellies and my famous hot jardinière. I will not display a lot of these because of possible theft. Its better to lose a few then a lot. Anyway I have a lettuce mix, spinach, radishes, and fresh oregano. I have sold a lot of spinach so there is a chance I might be out. Friday is your best chance for the last of the spinach. Again no insecticides, pesticides, herbicides are used,. Just organic dirt. So wash before eating. Have proper change or a check is O.K. Money box is on the wall. Keep a watchful eye out for me if any suspicious characters are snooping around or if the refrigerator door is open, please close it. I appreciate it. I should be around Friday so you might bump into me. My cell # 815-488-8606
