Good Roots

We have really enjoyed our last three years at Farmers Market. We've really enjoyed meeting everyone and working on our farm. However, we've decided to scale back our operations to make our homestead workload more manageable and we will no longer be coming to Farmers Market. If we ever produce more than we use, we'll be sure to share notices on this page with an opportunity to purchase the extra.

Thank you so much for your support and for giving us the opportunity to share our love of vegetables and homemade treats with you. ❤️❤️❤️

Hey y'all, just wanted to give you a heads up that we won't be at Farmers Market this fall. We are getting ready to get garlic in for the spring, so we'll see you then!

Last Natchitoches Farmers Market is tomorrow!

Y'all really showed up this season and we really appreciate the support. ❤️ We're so pleased that you are buying locally and we we'll keep figuring out how to keep up with demand.

Tomorrow will be almost exclusively prepared items. We will have some potatoes and watermelons but it will be your last chance to get breads, salsa, pesto and hummus.

Farmer Mark also made some really delicious soups. Sweet butternut and also potato soup. It's supposed to rain next week, it would make a great lunch.

I know a lot of you are on vacation this weekend but we're happy to see everyone one last time until market resumes in October.

With 3 markets to go, I have some good news and some bad news.

The bad news. A good amount of our fresh produce for this season has passed. We do have fresh figs this week, watermelon, potatoes, squash and hot peppers (make your own on pint). We have sparing eggplant and cukes, get all things pickle while you can.

The good news. We froze, dehydrated and saved as much extra produce as we could so we'll have more salsa, jellies, breads and soups through the end of this month.

AND in other good news I seeded fall tomatoes. They look great 👍 almost time to bump up. Fingers crossed for fall tomatoes.

We have roasted garlic & thyme rustic bread, honeyboat squash soup, hot pepper jelly and more of that super popular watermelon salsa. Farmer Mark is frying up flour and corn tortilla chips for all your salsa needs.

Come see us tomorrow from 8-12 down on the riverfront Natchitoches Farmers Market !

Did you know you can put ANYTHING on pizza? Literally, anything. You're an adult. There are no limits.

I've been telling y'all about my fig jam pizza. I got some unconvinced looks. So here it is...

Homemade pizza crust.
Our fig jam on the base. A couple of tablespoons.
A little bit of mozzarella.
Salt pork that's been cooked in cast iron with caramelized onions.
A few dollops of honey goat cheese and a little bit more mozzarella.
Bake at 500 for 10-13 minutes.

That's it. Sweet and salty deliciousness.

I also made a garlic parmesean mushroom and onion pizza. I'm glad there will be leftovers.

We spent the 4th picking figs! We have lots of good stuff and a few new items, so come by and pick up some treats for your cookout at Natchitoches Farmers Market tomorrow morning❤️ There are only 4 markets left and this is a great week for fun stuff.

The special bread this week is whole wheat fig with roasted walnut, it's gorgeous. We also have fresh fig pints, fig jam and candied figs. Thanks to one of our very first regulars from our first season, Rusty.

We have more regular and Salt * vinegar chips because y'all can't get enough.

One of the things I'm most excited to bring is the watermelon salsa. It's sooooo good. Farmer Mark also made some homemade tortilla chips for you to taste test. It's super refreshing and sweet.

We have lots off your regular favorites like garden salsa, garlic hummus, soup, pesto and pickles. Farmer Mark also made sweet pickle relish for your hot dogs and burgers.

I'm at the very end of heirloom tomatoes but I will be bringing a limited number. We used the Jubilee watermelons to make the salsa and we also have more Sugar Babies.

It's hard for a Maine girl not to keep talking about the heat, so I'm just going to get right into what we'll be bringing to market tomorrow.

Hand made potato chips are back! We'll have plain, Ranch and Salt & Vinegar. They go fast. You'll want to be early for these.

The cushaw Pecan bread and jalapeño cheddar bread look amazing.

This will be pretty much the end of tomatoes, maybe a few next week but the bulk of them are done. The heat and lack of rain, is punishing the heirlooms.

The soup this week is tomato & eggplant. I've already taste tested (of course). The eggplant really absorbs the tomato flavor and gives the soup a great texture. Your family will never know all the healthy veggies they are eating.

We've got lots of pickles, more bags of peas and 3 kinds of hummus.

Oh, and don't forget 🍉. We'll have refreshing bites to eat right at market and we have few sugar babies and jubilee.

We can't wait to see you!

Everyone keep your fingers 🤞 crossed for rain. We could sure use it.

While Farmer Mark and I were picking tomatoes and eggplant and peppers and peas and okra and (the very first and few) watermelons, early this morning and I was dripping sweat I thought...I hope folks show up for market tomorrow, it's awful hot.

We'll be up on the bricks waiting for you and probably sweating 🤪 but man, we have made some great stuff this week.

Our special rustic bread is sundried tomato and basil and we have gorgeous roasted tomato and basil soup. If you're looking to feed your kids something fresh and amazing, it makes a perfect lunch. Farmer Mark made roasted jalapeño hummus along with our popular garlic.

This week be the last week for zucchini Pecan bread, pickled summer squash and a final batch of blackberry jelly (until next year). But we've got lots of fresh dill pickles, extra garden salsa and tzatziki.

And.... our first of the season watermelons. We only harvested a few so we'll have watermelon bites for sale and a few Sugar Babies and one big Rattlesnake. Those will be full on by the 4th. We have a few bags of our first peas and LOTS of tomatoes. We have hot and sweet peppers and the prettiest eggplant we've ever grown.

Come see us early! Get your treats and beat the heat!
