Tami has added Clemson Spineless Okra and Concord Grapes to the market, as well as most of her other previously offered vegetables.

We have these yummy summer vegetables available this week from local farmers: bush beans, beets, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions; bell, jalapeno, and banana peppers; red potatoes, yellow squash, several types of tomatoes, and zucchini.

Also you will find a great selection of fresh-cut herbs to help to bring out the flavor of those vegetables and your other summer cooking.

Remember that we also have delicious pork and beef cuts, organic free-range chicken and duck eggs, jams and jellies, live plants for your perennial border, porch, or patio. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, and bath & beauty products. Stop by Square Books soon and see our market table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some jam or jelly, hand lotion or soap, herbal tea, a candle, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy or to give as a gift.
