Wednesday Holiday Shopping 3-4:30pm

Here is a picture of our largest pond. Thanks to a friend, we have water hyacinths cleaning, shading and cooling the pond water for us. We periodically remove the excess growth of these floating plants with their thick, ferny, hairy root ‘beards’ and use them in our Hugel beds.

Ho ho holidays! We are feeling grateful for health and life! Whatever you celebrate, spread love! And veggies! For this afternoon’s farmstand we’ll have: sweet salad mix, arugula, spicy salad mix, tons of cucumbers, more tomatoes, a few watermelon, a few Japanese melons, asian cooking greens, loads of butternut large and small, the first of our Thai pumpkin!, Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, a few bunches of cilantro, garlic chives, beautiful baby ginger and some baby turmeric, good amounts of figs, and zinnia flowers.

We will be open today (December 19th), Saturday Dec. 22nd, and Wednesday Dec. 26th.

Happy Solstice on Friday!

Sweet Sweet Saturday 10am – 12 noon

For Saturday we will have lots of sweet salad mix, baby spicy salad mix, baby arugula, mature arugula, and loads and loads of beautiful cucumbers including our new favorite cuke: a Japanese thin skinned variety with a small seed cavity. We have been juicing this cucumber wholeand unpeeled and it makes a perfect cooling, healing, hydrating beverage without the addition of anything but water in the blender. Strain through a cheesecloth and serve!

We will also have some more slicing tomatoes, some watermelon, lots of butternut in different fun XL and XS sizes, a few bell peppers, a few bunches of radishes, lots of beautiful cooking greens (and purples) with crisp large leaves for juicing or cooking. Our first harvest of baby ginger and baby turmeric looks beautiful and we are very excited. Also fresh picked for you early Saturday morning: Italian basil, lemon basil, Thai basil, holy basil, dill, cilantro, garlic chives, lemongrass and cut flowers.
