Hello,

We hope everyone is enjoying the summer sun and not getting too hot. We will have plenty of fresh, free-range farm eggs for sale, even though the hens are starting to feel the heat. They stay in the shade when they can but still manage to eat alot of pasture each week. Most of our vegetables are enjoying the sun but it continues to be difficult providing enough water for them to be truely happy. We've started cutting okra everyday as a few of you mentioned that some had started to get a little tough last week. The peppers are giving all they can and we should have a lot of colorful bell peppers this week as well as the hot and spicy peppers that seem to be many peoples favorites. The cherry tomatoes are slowing down while some of the heirloom tomatoes that we started are just about to produce. Blackberries just couldn't handle the heat and have now stopped producing. Franklin will have onions and potatoes that grew well this winter and are now ready to eat. Cucumbers
, eggplant (possibly), roma tomatoes, serrano peppers and cantaloupe (as of last week) will also be available. Tony will be back next week with all the goodies that he has (a van full). After speaking with many of you, it is very apparent that he was missed and will be busy explaining his adventures when he returns.
