Despite the current hot weather, fall is in the air! Yay! The summer fruits and veggies are coming to an end and we probably won't be at the market next Saturday so come stock up at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday September 19, between ca. 8:30 and 11 am!

"New" this week are red cherry tomatoes. Just leave the unripe ones on the counter for a day or two and they'll be perfect for eating! We'll also have an abundance of gorgeous and crunchy-delicious red Malabar spinach (tropical vine that tastes similar to spinach) and vine peaches (miniature melons). A friend who tried our vine peach crumble the other day said it was the best thing she'd ever eaten. :-) We'll also have the last of the season slicing tomatoes (Bonny Best and a couple Cherokee Purples).

In addition we'll have some sweet orange bell peppers, jalapenos, and adorable fruity biquinho peppers that have just a little kick. We'll also bring mixed greens, cucamelons (miniature cucumbers), okra, Roma tomatoes, herbs (sweet basil, Thai basil, rosemary, peppermint, and lemon balm), flowers, house plants, and more.

See you tomorrow!

Yay, the farm email ([email protected]) is working again! Not such good news about the website though. We'll have to rebuild that on a new platform as soon as we can make time. :-( The plants don't know about these technical issues though, and they're still chugging away so we'll be at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday September 12, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.

We'll have plenty of vine peaches, red Malabar spinach, slicing tomatoes, okra, and cucamelons.

We'll also bring some Roma tomatoes, sweet orange bell peppers, jalapenos, and cute little biquinho peppers (sweet hot-ish Brazilian heirloom). In addition we'll have mixed greens, muscadines, herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, peppermint, and lemongrass), flowers, Ancient Spring Farm honey, one dozen eggs, and more!

See you tomorrow morning!

You may have noticed that our website's been down for at least a couple weeks (and our email went down on Wednesday). Unfortunately we just learned that we'll need to build a whole new website so please bear with us! And in the meantime, keep up with us here and on Instagram , and contact us at 336-639-4314.

The important thing right now is that the garden is still producing well and it's a perfect time to stock up for your Labor Day party (!) so we'll be at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday September 5, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am or until we sell out, whichever comes first.

New this week: a decent number of slicing tomatoes (Bonny's Best, Cherokee Purple, and Thorburn's Terra-Cotta), and adorable little biquinho ("little beak") peppers, an heirloom from Brazil. They have a short little fruity-hot kick but are definitely milder than jalapenos. We'll also have some sweet orange bell peppers, green bell peppers, and jalapenos.

In addition, we'll bring some Roma tomatoes, okra, mixed greens, red Malabar spinach, kale, cucamelons (miniature cucumbers), vine peaches (miniature melons), the last of the watermelons (baby red Blacktail Mountains and hybrid Rainbow Sherbets), muscadines, herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, spearmint, and lemon balm), flowers, Ancient Spring Farm honey, and more.

See you tomorrow morning!

We've been enjoying these cooler temperatures and dreading a return to the mid-90s next week, although the plants may not mind! We'll be at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday 8/29, from ca. 8:30 to 10:45 am. We need to leave slightly early so that we can attend the invitation-only soft opening of Liberty Grounds' (129 S Fayetteville St) new food space and offerings. They're scheduled to open it up to the public next week so be sure to check them out! https://libertygroundsnc.com/ Chef Eli is incorporating some of Ancient Spring Farm's produce into his developing menu so you'll be supporting both of us. :-)

New this week at the farmers market: muscadines and cucamelons (miniature lemony cucumbers, aka Barbie watermelons)!

We also still have an abundance of true watermelons (seven red Blacktail Mountains, two yellow Leelanaus, and seven "Rainbow Sherbet" ASF hybrids), Roma tomatoes, and vine peaches (miniature melons). In addition we'll bring Ancient Spring Farm honey, okra, a few slicing tomatoes, jalapenos, mixed salad greens, red Malabar spinach, herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, stevia [natural sweetener], spearmint, and lemon balm), flowers, house plants, and more.

See you tomorrow morning!

The rain began this morning just after we finished harvesting - good timing and some welcome moisture! The current forecast is for nicely cloudy and cool weather tomorrow morning so we'll be at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday 8/22, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.

Boy, do we have watermelons this week: six small red Blacktail Mountains, two big yellow Leelanaus, and three big hybrids! It turns out the bees cross-pollinated the red Ledmons with one of the yellows and they're pink and yellow inside so we're calling the hybrids Rainbow Sherbet, lol! Their flavor is hit or miss (but we can give you some tips about this) so they'll be on special.

We'll also have plenty of Roma tomatoes and jalapenos, as well as okra, vine peaches (miniature melons), poblano peppers, sweet banana peppers, ugly slicing tomatoes, red Malabar spinach, mixed greens, red onions, Ancient Spring Farm honey, various herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, lemongrass, orange thyme, spearmint, and lemon balm), flowers, at least one dozen eggs, and more.

We did some major weeding in the gardens this week and discovered several butternut squash growing, lol. Yay! Plus one of our neighbors has been doing a little burning and the smell of smoke makes us think of autumn and cooler temperatures...In the meantime, we've got some more heat to get through and we'll still have plenty of summer vegetables and fruits at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday August 15, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.

"New" this week: red (Blacktail Mountain and Ledmon) and yellow (Clay County) watermelons! A lot more watermelons are growing on the vines but the ones we'll bring tomorrow show all the signs of ripeness. Unfortunately individual watermelon quality can be hard to guess at but fingers crossed these are gems. :-) We'll also have some more Ancient Spring Farm honey!

In addition we'll bring plenty more Roma tomatoes, vine peaches (miniature melons), sweet banana peppers, and hot jalapenos plus a few bell peppers. We'll also have a couple lemon squash, some okra, baby red onions, mixed salad greens, red Malabar spinach, herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, oregano, lemongrass, spearmint, and lemon balm), flowers, native plants (bee balm, wild columbine, and Carolina jessamine), possibly one dozen eggs, and more.

See you tomorrow morning!

Woohoo, the plants are loving all this moisture and sun (but that means the weeds love it, too, and we were already way behind, sigh)! As a result, we'll have plenty of garden bounty at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday August 8, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.

New this week: more Ancient Spring Farm honey!! This batch is dark, with a nice rich flavor from all the different kinds of flowers the bees have been visiting. I think it's even better than our spring honey! Also new are sweet banana peppers (great sauteed or pickled) courtesy of our fellow Snow Camp friends Lookout Mountain Goats (who raise much more than goats!).

We'll also have plenty of vine peaches (miniature melons great eaten raw or in baked goods), jalapeno peppers, and Roma tomatoes. In addition, we'll have the last of this year's pickling cucumbers, as well as limited quantities of sweet orange bell peppers, shish*to peppers, okra, heirloom lemon squash, mixed salad greens, red Malabar spinach, baby red onions, diverse herbs (Genovese basil, Thai basil, spearmint, lemon balm, and sage this week unless you ask ahead for others), cut flowers, native plants (wild columbine, Carolina jessamine, and wild bergamot bee balm), and more.

See you tomorrow morning!

What lovely cooler weather we're having right now! It makes working and shopping outside a lot more pleasant. :-) Speaking of which, we'll be at the Liberty, NC Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) tomorrow, Saturday August 1, from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.

New this week is the first Blacktail Mountain red watermelon (with more growing on the vines) - our favorite kind! Also new are huge, sweet orange bell peppers (along with continued shish*to and jalapeno peppers) and an increasing abundance of Red Malabar Spinach (a tropical vine whose leaves taste similar to spinach). We'll also have some more of the recently ripening vine peaches (miniature melons).

In addition, we'll bring cherry tomatoes, lots of Roma tomatoes, okra, and just about the last of the cucumbers. We'll also have mixed greens, herbs (stevia, Genovese basil, Thai basil, spearmint, and lemon balm - but let us know by email if you need other kinds), red onions, flowers, and native bedding plants (wild columbine, wild bergamot bee balm, and Carolina jessamine). If they aren't already spoken for we'll have one or two dozen eggs, too.

See you tomorrow morning!
