This Saturday I will bring along an array of our certified organic edible dry beans and Grassfields Farm’s organic aged cheese made from unpasturized cows’ milk. If you need any wool items, or would like more than 2# of a certain type of beans, please email me before 6 pm on Friday to let me know.

There is a very good chance that I will not be back to the market for a month. I have to work at my off-farm job on July 30, and that falls on a Sweetwater week (we are attending Sweetwater only every other week). So plan ahead for your bean needs. We appreciate your business.

Never Better Naturals
Thanks to the sun, we’re all able to soak up much needed Vitamin D!  If you are an outdoors person, like me, you can be sure that you are protected from the risks that the sun brings without accepting the risks that come with wearing sunscreen.  Our “Beam Banish” is a light, creamy formulation from 100% non-GMO plant based sources!  It protects at an approximate SPF level of 40-50, without white residue or a greasy feel.  It will also stay strong in water for up to two hours!  Stop by and sample some.
Of course, we will also have our chemical free natural herbal remedies, baby care, facial care, lotions, soaps, bug spray, lip butter (also with a natural SPF of 10-15), lotions, ad cleaning products!  Please don’t be shy about asking to try anything- we always have samples!  Also, take advantage of the available refills on bug spray, sanitizer, and Turn Back Time serum.  It’ll help the Earth and your wallet at the same time!  See you there!  Rachel
