Attending this week’s market: 

Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
Winter arrived on the farm this week, and as I sit here writing this note, I am watching the snow silently accumulate on the fields. It’s a good feeling to see the farm slip below this blanket of white. We made the most of last weekend’s warm weather and crossed off almost everything that remained on the fall to-do list, and this Saturday’s market will be our last for the season. And this has been a great season, the farm’s best so far, in part because of all you faithful Sweetwater Market customers: Thank you so very much.
This week we will likely be bringing:
head lettuce
bok choi
tatsoi
brussels sprouts
cabbages
potatoes
leeks
onions
We will also be bringing eggs from our pastured hens.
Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday!
