What a beautiful week!

OPEN WEEKENDS 9am-5pm
This week was just beautiful. The farm stand was busy on the weekend. 'Howdy' did great for his first week out.

This weeks offerings included comb honey , turnips, collards, onion tops, beet greens and red choi.

Beet greens should be treated like spinach. They are eaten both raw or cooked.
