This week's KY3 Garden Spot has Steve and Dan in the cucumber patch plus a message from life-long gardener Farmer Dan: DON'T GIVE UP! (in regards to this being a very difficult gardening season).

I've been remiss posting Garden Spots these past couple of weeks. Dan had a ruptured appendix last month. Good news: he's healing up nicely and he'll never have to go through that again! You can find past episodes on the KY3 webpage. Just type Garden Spot into the search field.

Thank you all for another year of support! It’s very difficult to make a living according to the weather and especially dealing with wild swings in temperature and precipitation.
We wish everyone a wonderful and safe Autumn and Winter and we’ll see ya back for our 38th farm season next Spring.

That being said…
There’s plenty of apples, sweet potatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, etc left so if you’d like to make an appointment to stop by and shop give Dan a call on his cell. He’ll be at the farm just about everyday getting firewood orders done. (417) 818-4417

Slight change of plans…
We normally close for the season after Oct 31, but since the weather is mild and we have a good amount of produce available, Dan decided to extend being open for biz through this Saturday, Nov 2.
Hours: 10-6 Friday and Saturday THEN open by appointment after that.

We’re restocked on that fantastic local pure raw honey, we have apples, sweet potatoes, winter squash, pumpkins, garlic, zucchini, cucumbers, etc.
Thank you for another great season of having the BEST customers! 💛🧡♥️
