What WTF did over summer vacation
The WTF crew did miss seeing all of our friends & customers at the Markets over the summer (I hope you missed us too!). There have been quite a few of you that still come out to the farm. Thanks for your continued support!!
If you remember one of the things that we wanted to do this summer was spend more time together as a family especially with our boys who are growing like weeds.
We have thoroughly enjoyed our summer together. Here are a few pictures from our summer vacation.
Lee got to do some scuba diving.
Charlie went to Robotics camp & Rosty to Boy Scout camp
Gem mining in Hiddenite.
On the Blue Ridge Parkway
Playing in a creek
Visiting family in Virginia & stopping at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel
Celebrated a birthday boy
These are just a few of our adventures this summer.
The kids had a blast & we enjoyed this time with them.
SFM Newsletter- Septmeber 11th
Hey Market Friends,
Summer veggies are slowing
down as our kale and other greens are planted and start to grow. Tomatoes in
particular are in decline as well as our sweet corn. Get it while it lasts...
Also Bame farms has been
mostly out of beef for almost a month but plans to be back next week (the
drought has been tough on their grass finished cows!). Two Pigs Farm can fill
in with a lot of your needs if you're looking for good, healthy pasture-raised antibiotic
free meat.
And a quick note here:
yesterday on Facebook, I mentioned UpsideDown Farms produces better in cooler
fall weather but it turns out they'll be gone this weekend. Sorry mushroom
fans!
Finally, don't forget we're open until December 19th! We have meat, eggs, veggies, baked goods and more the whole year! And we hope to start welcoming back our fall craft vendors soon!

Market Chef Sept. 19th
We had very well attended
market chef competitions last year but haven't had enough people pre-register
this year for the Cooperative Extension to come out and facilitate. We'd really
like to feature youth chefs for our event planned September 19th. PLEASE sign
up with your kid in advance if you and your child would like to participate!
Nonprofit spotlight:
Crosby Scholars
I got my wires crossed
last week and Historic Salisbury Foundation visited the market not Crosby
Scholars... My apologies!
THIS week, the Crosby Scholars are visiting the farmers' market to hand out information. And they have an upcoming event "BBQ, Bands, and Boots" that will help them continue their college readiness programs. On September 25th. Check out facebook.com/RowanCrosbyScholars for more information.
Here's what we've got lined up for tomorrow!
