Every week, Bill and I are overwhelmed at the growing popularity of our local markets! It makes our hard work so worth it hearing you ohh and ahh over our produce. Usually, July4th is a slow market day--it's the first real holiday of the summer and most families take that week to start their vacation. We were blown away by the crowd this Saturday and hope that more people make the commitment to using fresh, local produce to feed their families.
Real summer weather is upon us: hot, humid, chance for thunderstorms. The thunder kept me up last night! This weather is just what the sweet corn needs. The ears is in the blister stage and just need to fill out. This usually takes about a week and high temps really help this process. We'll keep you posted!
What will be waiting for you Tuesday?
- Green Beans--these almost caused a riot Saturday--come early if you want some!
- Arugula
- Zucchini
- Summer squash
- Eggplant--regular and Asian varieties
- Yellow grape tomatoes
- Red cherry tomatoes
- Sugar snap peas
- Sweet onions
As always, the Trailside market begins at 3:30 pm in the Parkinson parking lot behind Wild Country and is open until 6 pm. The Old Men Boys will be keeping us entertained this week, so come down (with your canvas bags!!) and hang out for awhile!
