We want to celebrate the young contributers to our farm market! In a day when youth get a bad rap for being un-motivated: we have 3 local young people who are doing their best to pave their way. Let's support and encourage them.

A 13 year old who has had his own firewood business for 3 years! He cuts the tree down, hauls them out, cuts to length, splits, loads, delivers, and for an extra fee, will stack. Did I mention he is 13 years old!

A beautiful, artistic young lady who recently graduated high school and has desires of homesteading. Her watercolor note cards and paintings are reflective of the homestead life and nature in the Sumner area. These originals are all one of a kind pieces of art, not prints. Any one would make a special gift for someone who appreciates art and nature.

A young man of similar age who works a job, and on the side has been foraging fiddleheads. A task that is both peaceful, and hard on the back! Hiking in, picking, battling heat, rain and bugs. Packaging and delivering to the farm market so that we all can enjoy this short season, native treasure. (will be here Saturday)

3 young local people. All making this community better in their own special ways. Let's continue to financially support them, encourage them, and hope that they continue to be hard working, thriving members of this community for years to come!

See you at the Haven Acres farm market Fri - Sat 10am -2pm.

The upper garden. Prepped with compost and ready for....I don't know what yet. Well...except butternut. There will definitely be butternut. Maybe a ridiculous amount of green beans.

Firewood for sale in Sumner. 1 cord of mostly Maple, with some Cherry, and Ash. Local delivery available. $280.00

This middle school young man needs track spikes for this week. Instead of asking his parents for money, he spent his day, in the rain, splitting and loading the cord of wood that he had previously harvested and cut.

Text 207-459-0336 or pm here if you would like him (and a licensed driver) to deliver this to you. Cash or Venmo

Did you know: Many people that consume raw, local honey every day during the spring especially, find that their springtime allergy symptoms are reduced?

Honey contains a small amount of fine particles of pollen. When taken daily, it can help your body acclimate to the local pollen levels, thus reducing your allergy symptoms.

This of course is not medical advice. Rather some beneficial reasons to support your local bee keepers. We have Longview Bees Raw Honey available here at the Haven Acres market both Friday and Sarurday.

And let us know. Do you find that consuming raw, local honey helps you with your allergy symptoms?

The warmth, the smell of soil, the sight of life, the knowledge of love. I know this joy.

The only things that bring me more joy than working in my hoophouse, are the times when my grands or daughters are in there working with me.
