Gardens grow fast now


This post expired on July 08, 2023.

This is good growing weather. Every day plants are much bigger and we are adding new tubs of food to the stand almost every day. This is also the time the weeds try to get away from us. We have beans now and the early corn has tassels.
We still have strawberries for a few more days. ( half price gleaning, same hours as the stand) I plan to renovate the strawberries late this week.
The U-pick pie cherries will be at there prime late this week. They are at the old farm, you must make an appointment to pick and bring your own stepladder. I want $1 per lb.
We are getting three pigs from my sister, that will be available in late july. Let me know if you would like to buy a quarter, half or whole pig. The price will be in the $4 per lb range depending on what cuts you get. These pigs are grown outside and fed conventional grain along with other slop etc.
We also have a batch of boiler chickens ready soon. These are free- range chickens that are being fed conventional grain besides the pasture.
I have a lot of chard now. If you would like to try it I would like to give you enough to feed your family a meal of it for free. Ask for it when you are at the stand. Daniel
