Well it’s finally that time of year again… the Wednesday afternoon market officially begins; it starts at 4 and be pack up at 7.  We are finally getting enough produce to bring both Wednesday and Saturday.

This Wednesday we will have our first “Candy” onions of the season along with plenty of squash…both golden and green zucchini as well as yellow summer squash. We’ll also have cabbage, Swiss Chard, kale, collard greens, new potatoes, beets, cauliflower, a few broccoli, fresh peas, and cucumbers.  Kenny’s has fresh  dug elephant garlic, a  few vine ripened red Floyd County tomatoes. They are sure to sell out fast!

It’s black raspberry time… come early to get some for yourself.  We hope to have them around for several of weeks now.

It has been so dry and the temps are rising that we have decided to stop growing lettuce and spinach until the fall.  It’s hard to keep them from becoming bitter once the heat sets in; and even harder to keep them cool once we get to the market.  The quality just begins to decline and we sure don’t want folks disappointed in their purchases.  I will keep you posted when Kenny starts to plant again for fall. I do believe there are some vendors who are at the market that continue growing lettuce throughout the summer.

We will have some of our farm fresh eggs available, but they will be on a pre order only basis on Wednesdays.  It’s just too hot to keep unwanted eggs in the cooler.  Just let me know if you need be to bring some for you and I will be glad to accommodate you.

Thanks for supporting us with your purchases at the market and we hope to see you tomorrow,

Val & Kenny
