Keep doing your rain dance y'all... this dry summer is causing trouble
on more than a few of our farms! The little bit we got last night still
leaves us behind...
Coming in this week we've still got plenty of cole crops like kohlrabi,
cabbage, greens like Swiss Chard, plus, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes,
blueberries and more...
Be advised that the Salisbury Pride festival is happening tomorrow
downtown. It should be a lot of fun. Starting around 11AM, it probably
won't affect the Farmers' Market much. But if you're concerned about
parking (which I doubt), come early and you shouldn't have any
problems! (Plus it will be a tad cooler and the selection will be
better!)
Here's
what we've got lined up for tomorrow!
All Grown Up:
Hydroponic
Persian cucumbers, baby lettuce and spicy greens. Swiss Chard and
slicing cucumbers out of the field and more!

Grassfed beef, pastured pork, free range eggs and meat
variety packs.

more!
