Wow, the weather has been spectacular again and we've been loving every minute of the cooler temperatures and low humidity! It should be nice again tomorrow morning so we'll be at the Liberty Farmers Market (423 W Swannanoa Ave) this Saturday 5/16 from ca. 8:30 to 11 am.
The greens have also been loving the recent weather and they're still looking fantastic! We'll have beautiful heads of Romaine lettuce in addition to mixed salad greens, kale, and collards. We'll also have a variety of native and naturalized pollinator-friendly plants, cut flowers, herbs, radishes, and a limited number of eggs, house plants, and gourd bird houses.
Also, new this Saturday: a small quantity of spring honey from our bees! It's light in color with an earthy, green flavor stemming from the abundance of crimson clover and white clover that have been blooming on the farm. (Remember - please don't spray your clover [or dandelions] because it's a vital food source for honey bees and native bees!)
FYI, we have many more kinds of cooking and tea herbs than what we usually bring to the market. Just let us know ([email protected] or 336-639-4314) if you'd like some lemon thyme, oregano, and/or rosemary (now), or Genovese basil, Thai basil, Stevia, thyme, chives, dill, lemongrass, and/or cilantro (in a few weeks). Currently our spearmint, peppermint, lemon balm, and mountain mint are abundant so that's what we'll bring unless you put in a request.
Enjoy another beautiful day and see you tomorrow morning!
