NEWS AND NOTES

It’s that time of year when there are lots of different herbs, fresh and dried, available from local farmers. So stock up for winter cooking!



Frontier Family Farm has added sweet potatoes to the market.



Linda from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse writes:
Perfect fall herb-planting time is here! Buy any herb plant offered by Dogwood Valley Greenhouse on the market (designated by “Herb Plant” in front of the name), and I will also give you a Stevia plant for free! I have some nice Stevia plants (see picture in listing), but they aren’t winter-hardy, and I have no way to overwinter them safely. However, if you move your new Stevia plant to a slightly larger pot, you will be able to bring it inside toward the end of October, and enjoy its sweetness in your drinks and baked goods all winter. For more information about and uses of Stevia, see http://stevia.com and http://stevia.net . Place your herb order soon, while my Stevia supplies last.


White City Produce & Greenhouses products are available this week.



We have these yummy summer vegetables available this week from local farmers: beans, beets, carrots, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, kohlrabi, lettuce, okra, onions, bell peppers, and red potatoes. 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.




(L to R) Fresh Cilantro and Sweet Italian Basil from Loftus Family Farm, Sweet Potatoes from Frontier Family Farm, Stevia and Dwarf Red Carnation Plants from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.
