Availability for July 12

We’ve got a lot of new items this week. The first flush of beans and corn are done, but the second plantings are just now coming on. There are three varieties of corn to choose from this week, and a wide variety of tomatoes—including quite a few wonderful heirlooms.

I’ve been telling you about how we completely take over Gosford Wine on Thursday afternoons (and we’re very, very greatful for their letting us do so). We use every square foot of their store room and spill out into the back parking lot. I finally got around to taking photos of the whole operation, and now you can see what goes on in the back as we prepare for your arrival and fill your orders. The whole album is up on our website, but it’s already out of date. We had been using a few old shopping carts that Kroger has stacked up behind their store to help us organize, but last week the store manager came out and asked us not to use their carts any more. So, we’ve come up with another way—army cots. Turns out they fold very compactly (so I can get them all in my trunk) and have more surface than any folding table. So now we’ll have stuff spread out and organized under two tents on top of army cots. Quite a sight to see, I’m sure.

I’ve added a few more entries to the Q’s and A’s page, including an explanation of the various certifications our growers have (or don’t have—though none of them use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides). Also, don’t forget to check out the recipe pages listed there as well. I’ll try to have my copy of “Farmer John’s Cookbook” at the checkout table on Thursday so you can look through it and decide if it’s worth it for me to get a case of them.

Thanks again for all your support. I know you’ve been spreading the word to like-minded folks, and all of us appreciate that. We’ll see you on Thursday from 4:30pm to 8pm at Gosford Wine!
