Hello,

This week we spent most of our time weeding and watering. The heat is really hitting our crops hard. They are still producing but they need some extra care to keep them going. Unfortunately the heat and lack of rain have almost put an end to the blackberries and our sweet corn. There are some plants that are loving this weather and our okra and squash will prove it. The peppers, especially the hot peppers, are hitting peak production and are at their finest flavor. Eggplant will be producing all summer long and we'll have some recipes for those who are interested.

This week at the market we will have eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, slicing cucumbers, eggplant, okra, squash, hot peppers, red onions, white onions, mint, basil and sweet bell peppers. We've had several inquiries lately from farmers wanting to sell produce at our market. We will keep you posted.

Hope to see you there!

We are located 2910 S. Congress (El Gallo Restaurant)
EVERY Saturday from 9am until 1pm.
