Our family loves HBP! Enjoyed a nice trip with dad to the barn today to get some good veggies.🥰

I'm getting ready to cook some of the incredible vegetable bounty, sent to Scott and me, from our beloved Hall Brothers Produce family, in Calhoun, Georgia! This is a much belated thank you to these dear people, as 2 boxes (!) of the wonderful veggies, arrived by way of my Carrie, Thursday night. These beautiful veggies are ambrosia, to a vegetarian, as myself...Scott just loves tomatoes, vegetarian, or not...I mean LOVES tomatoes, actually, we both do, and there are tomatoes, of different varieties, shapes, sizes and colors, which made us both, almost giddy! Some of these little beauties, were washed and eaten, the very first thing, while we unpacked the rest of the goodies...it was like unwrapping Christmas presents...while visions of Southern, breaded, fried vegetable recipes, danced in my head...my guilty pleasure, is fresh summer vegetables, breaded in various ingredients, such as grated parmesan cheese, or corn meal, or sweet corn muffin mix, and FRIED, as any summer vegetable should be...I'm still a Kentucky country girl, at heart. These fried goodies, are being accompanied by some of those luscious tomatoes, at every meal. My lunches have been a bowl of tomatoes, with a bit of salt and feta cheese, in a bowl, with some good brown bread, torn into bite size, tossed into the bowl, to absorb those wonderful tomatoes juices, so as not to miss even a bit! I know that I probably sound a little crazy, but that's the effect, that fresh summer veggies, have on me!😍🌽🍅 The sweet corn is on tonight's menu, as well as, some yummy fried zucchini...tomorrow, home grown red potatoes, with a buttery, cheese sauce! I believe that I may have finally conquered okra, with just a classic breaded and fried recipe...if it is good a second time, I'll know that I've found my recipe, for those tasty little morsels! The bell peppers are so fragrant and are destined for a brown rice stir fry...the red one was an especially lovely color...I'm hungry, now! Again, as I prepare and cook these wonderful veggies, I fully appreciate the hard, hard work that they represent, and the love that sent them to Scott and me. Thank you my precious dears, you've fed my heart and soul, as well as my tummy!🥰💛🍅💚🌽💛
Thank you for my lunch of tomato sandwich ! Best tomato I have eaten in a while.😋

Can we go get some vegetables from here ?
The vegetables are sooo good. I won’t go anywhere else to buy produce. And those young men are very well mannered and knowledgeable about the vegetables. I was surprised that Reuben and Sebastian could answer my questions (like talking to adults). It’s so nice to see young people who have been taught manners nowadays.
Enjoyed our blackberry cobbler tonight with the fresh blackberries I got from you this morning. It was delicious!!
All my pictures didn’t show up
This is Terry Hall, as promised, here some pictures of making Blackberry Jam. I cooked at 220 for 10 minutes.
I gallon Of blackberries
2 table spoons lemon juice
1 table spoon of butter
Add 1 cup of sugar for every cup of juice
I had 12 cups of juice so I added 12 cups of sugar
Once temp gets to 175 stir constantly
After it reaches 220 start timing for ten minutes turn off heat and place a couple drops of juice into a ice cold plate. Let it set for about 5 minutes then test by pushing with finger. If it crinkles when you push it it’s done. If it done heat it back up to 220 and cook three more minuteas and test again.
Have fun!
I visited your farm - first time. Everything was delicious! Waiting on Silver Queen.
