We wish to thank all of you who have become our customers over the years and we will miss you all!

Veggies this week: Potato Sale continues! Red Norlands are the most popular red-skinned potato ~ excellent boiled, mashed, & smashed. Russets are the standard baking potato- high in starch and low in moisture, so they bake well and yield light, fluffy mashed potatoes. They don’t hold their shape after cooking, so don’t use them to make potato salads or scalloped potatoes. We also have Russian fingerlings ~ buff brown skin / white flesh. Pak choi and Chinese Cabbages. Carrots, Salad Mix, Cabbages, Winter squash. Cilantro & Parsley. Beets, Celery, Red, White & Yellow onions; maybe some kale and chard but the deer have been bad this Fall, kohlrabis.
