Lloyd Craft Farms Fresh Produce, Locally Grown

This Saturday’s classes in The Farmer’s Wife’s Kitchen are “Dehydration” at 9:00 a.m. and “Meal in a Jar” at 11:00 a.m. I just dried my first tomatoes! YAY!! Paste tomatoes, herbed–

Classes are taught by Brenda Green, Cost is $20 for one, $35 for two. Size limited–reserve your spot by emailing diamondsonrise@aol.com or tcraft@rtconnect.net.

SEE YOU THERE! Come and participate…and then take your Share home afterwards– 🙂

We also have 45 heads of green cabbage FOR SALE– $1 each….most average 4-1/2 pounds.

This is the early cabbage, so leaves are fine and head is tight…not considered a storage cabbage but can keep in your fridge for a couple of weeks.

We are dragging our behinds this time of year–BUT–still excited with what we have to offer from The Farm!

This week’s share will have Mulligan Stew fixings (second time’s a charm–just made mine today and it was FANTASTIC!), potatoes, carrots, tri-color of onions, hot pepper bag, all kinds of winter squash, lettuce heads (cut and bagged–not washed and spun), hopefully some spinach (if time allows), and SWEET POTATOES!   Don’t laugh–this is our first foray into the raising of sweet potatoes–They taste pretty darn good, but they ain’t very pretty!  We were reading through the culture the day after we started to dig them…”one of the biggest mistakes the first time grower makes is letting them grow too long”…YEP, we did that and you will see that we have some MONSTERS–one Yam will feed a family of four!

A reminder that the final Pick up for the 2013 season will be this Saturday–out at The Farm. Pick Up Time is 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Fruit Share ready, too!

We are working feverously digging potatoes (The Farmer) and washing (The Farmer’s Wife) and bagging (The Farmer’s Son and Daughter) for the ADD4WEEKS crew. We have 21 people that signed up for the season extender–will send each of you an email notice–

We aren’t done digging the potatoes just yet (The Farmer) but it looks like we will have some extras FOR SALE on Saturday (The Farmer’s Wife)–You’ll be able to purchase 10# bags (if we get them all bagged) or pre-order 10# bags. More info in a separate post.

We will also have Squash– Acorns, Butternuts, Buttercups, Hubbards— and Sugar Pumpkins for pies and all sizes of Jack-o-Lantern pumpkins. You will get one of each in your share and can purchase additional ones to store over the winter.

See you SATURDAY at The Farm! Bring lots of bags and boxes– The Farmer’s Wife
