4 varieties of cucumbers - Heirloom 76, Japanese, Lebanese & Lemon Cucumbers, 

3 kinds of eggplant - Black Beauty, Japanese, Rosa Bianco

Basil is coming and mint will keep coming!
And, more arugula has just been seeded.

Right now we have more . . . 

Nantes carrots in the ground

spinach is up

gourmet lettuces

Easter egg radishes (Kelly's suggestion from Desert Roots - Thanks Kelly!)

beets

sugar snap peas

bunching onions

Unadulterated Loveliness . . .

. . . from our market store on Tuesday. Come see us this next Tuesday!

In Between Seasons At The Market

It seems as if there is this 'in-between' stage for farmers and growers as crops of one season begin to slow down and fill fewer baskets holding out for hope that the next season's crops hurry up get here to refill those same baskets.

This winter season, we've really loved filling our farm store baskets with gourmet lettuces, spicy arugula, mizuna, swiss chard and different varieties of kale. For many weeks we've been able to provide  spinach, beets, radishes and carrots.

And, as the weather warms up you'll begin to see less and less of these wonderful cool weather season vegetables because we'll be transitioning into the warm weather crops of things like our beautiful heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, okra, cucumbers, melons and more.

We don't know about you, but we're really looking forward to this next season {here}
