Hello

The little bit of rain we received this week was more than welcome. We saw a lot of our plants which were struggling in the intense heat really perk-up when the rains came. Okra, squash, peppers, tomatoes and eggplant are really starting to thrive. We also moved our portable chicken coop to "greener pastures" this week. The chickens seemvery happy and even ignore the heat while scratching around for seeds and treats. We even saw some wild quail out with the chickens this week.

At the market this week you’ll find eggs, baked breads, canned goods, dried tomatoes and fruits, potatoes, onions, bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatoes, pickling and slicing cucumbers, okra, squash, zucchini, eggplant, basil, herb plants, aloe plants, fig plants and more.

See you there!
