What's new this spring?

Hello!
We are wet from all the rain, but safe and all accounted for - no mudslides or driveway washouts so far. We are still moving forward with the farming season, albeit a little slower than we would like because the field is so incredibly saturated, and we want to watch that we don't destroy our (fortunately) wonderful soil structure by walking on it or working in it when it is soaked.  We also don't want to get our tractor stuck...

Crossing over into June, we are still at the Saluda Tailgate market every week.  We are also opening new restaurant and chef accounts.  Please let us know if we have something you want!


For this week, we have available: 
  • Kale, 
    •    Green Curly
    •    Green/Red Curly Mixed
    •    Red Russian
  • Collards
  • Head Lettuce
    •    Black Seeded Simpson (bright green looseleaf lettuce)
    •    A limited number of Rouge D'Hiver red romaine heads for market (one of my personal favorites for tenderness and flavor)
    •    A few New Red Fire (red oak-leaf lettuce)
  • Shiitakes (Hopefully they won't be completely rained out and tasteless - we do our best to save what we force into bloom. But with 20" of rain in the last couple weeks, there is only so much a farmer can do!)
  • Dried, packaged shiitakes (labels coming soon!)
  • Microgreens - Mixed or Separate: 
    •    Beets
    •    Radish
    •    Sesame
    •    Sunflower
    •    (next week: also peas)
  • Mustard greens


Call or text for wholesale pricing.  828-702-1704.  All our produce is tended according to organic standards and we can work with you to be in line with local pricing.



Thanks,
Mollie and the crew
