Looking forward to another great Saturday at the New Albany Farmer’s Market. We will be under the pavillion at the corner of Bank and Market Streets from 8-1 in beautiful downtown New Albany, Indiana. Hope to see you there!
We will have plenty of veggies on Saturday, new potatoes, green beans, zucchini – both green and golden, summer squash, beets, green onions as well as a new crop of “candy” onions. Swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumbers and we may still have a few fresh peas available. We will have tomatoes, they are really beginning to ripen; we should have a couple bushels of red ones. (that’s around 75-100 pounds or so if your’e wondering). We will still have black raspberries on Saturday and limited blueberries this week, but next week Kenny says we should be starting to pick the first peaches of the season. Of course these are not the free stone variety, but they are delicious.
My herbs are still looking great and we have many varieties available. This weekend will be the last time I bring the individual pots of herbs, but I will continue to bring the larger patio herb pots. Stop by this week if you need single herbs for your herb gardens.
Don’t forget we have farm-fresh, free-range eggs available; pick some up at the market as well.
We are now producing enough fresh produce to start taking order for our “basket of the week”, which includes a little bit of everything available the current week. The “Weekly Basket” cost $25 and always includes fruit when available and you can also add fresh eggs to your basket. If you are interested talk to me on Saturday or e-mail me and let me know.
I am an evening late doing my post this week. I apologize for that, I guess my days were out of whack due to vacationing. I know I haven’t given you much time to think about your pre-orders, but please try and get them in as early as possible tomorrow so we have an idea how much harvesting we must do. I will have your order ready when you arrive Saturday morning (that way you can sleep in, work out or just plain work and still get what you want before we run out).
Thanks for your patronage,
Val & Kenny
