Hello everyone!
Here’s our offerings this week. Our variety of produce is dwindling quickly now that frost has hit. That means Jim and I are getting busy in our workshops so I may have some new items this weekend and more to come. Custom orders are gladly accepted. Various types of cutting boards, hinged boxes, candle stands, wall shelves and nearly anything you could imagine, Jim could probably create.
Please text me at 734-945-0720 for preorders.

We will have the following available for this week.
Ancho Peppers – $8 per bag. In Mexican Spanish, there are three peppers that change names when changing state. The poblano pepper is one of the three. Dried poblanos are ‘ancho’, which is Spanish for ‘wide’. It is sweet and earthy with a touch of heat.
Napa/Chinese Cabbage – $3 per bag. (2 heads per bag – 1 lb per bag more or less) Limited amount. Last for the season.
Crushed Hot Pepper A blend of our Certified Naturally Grown hot peppers. Add a little zest to your chili, soups or fresh salads. $7 Net Wt 2 oz jar
Black Storage Radishes $3 per quart These radishes are a great one for storage and can be stored up to a month or longer. These radishes are larger than the radishes that most people are used to. They are snow white in the center and have a peppery taste that is mellowed when cooked. They are great with a nice full body beer, in a veggie platter or salad. Try radishes cooked in the same way you would cook potatoes…they are great roasted, fried, or mashed.
Honeynut Squash $1 each This variety of butternut squash is sweeter and smaller running 1/2 to 1 1/2 lbs each.
Tuffy acorn squash $1 each This variety of acorn squash is smaller running 1/2 to 1 1/2 lbs each.
Whole Chicken $4.50 per lb. 5 – 6 lbs Our poultry and rabbits are always young and fed 100% CNG or organic feed. USDA Inspected
Young Guinea Fowl $8 per lb 2.5 – 3 lbs Guinea Fowl is all dark meat, very tender, and very similar to pheasant without a gamey taste. Try guinea fowl roasted with a red currant gravy or batter fried like chicken.
Johansen’s Maple Syrup $10 pint
We are currently out of our Rabbit but will have more back in stock in November. We normally offer our poultry and rabbit frozen. If you are interested in buying it fresh (not frozen), let us know and we can arrange pick-up the day we get it from the processor.
