Sign Of Hope, 2020

We will be at the Elmhurst Farmer's Market at York and Vallette tomorrow from 7-1. The MICROGREENS harvest is great this week. Very lush and healthy. We will have "Purple Mix," "Spicy Mix" and Micro Basil. Delicious!!! A few basil plants and some small parsley and cilantro plants also. I have one tomato plant left unsold, but it is so beautiful I might add it to the 150 or so I have growing at the farm. Come see if it makes the trip to town.
