Greetings from Coco Beach, Florida. Once again I am on the road (Kenny said… the last time until at least October) visiting with family. Rest assured Russell Veggies will be open for business bright and early Saturday morning at the New Albany Farmer’s Market. Kenny and Gary along with the rest of our crew will be hard [...]
It’s finally here…opening day 2013 Farmer’s Market! Located on the corner of Bank and Market Streets in beautiful downtown New Albany. We are so excited to begin the growing season. Kenny has been plowing, rotor tilling and planting every day for weeks now, things are looking wonderful. He has everything in the ground except the eggplants (they [...]
I think Spring has finally sprung and it’s about time to start your herb and vegetable gardens. We will have plenty of fresh herbs and garden plants available this weekend. We have basil, dill, parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme, sage, tarragon and rosemary. Kenny also has a variety of other plants including tomatoes. I will also have some great Mother’s [...]

Things around the farm are about the same this week but I will be franticly trying to get produce washed and ready for this weeks’ market then get myself packed and ready for yet another adventure with mom. This time my Aunt Jo (she’s the one that helps us at the farmer’s market every year) is along for the [...]
We’re back and will be taking orders for the greens we have available… baby lettuce, spinach, and kale. Growing is slow but steady and Kenny has been gardening and transplanting every day. The seeding greenhouse is almost full and he just finished reconstructing the second high tunnel hoop-house. It will house the broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower for the [...]
