We'll have zucchini and summer squash, a few first bunches of fresh garlic!, more salad mix, bunched cilantro and basil, cut flowers, and hopefully some shiitakes. See you at the markets!

what's in this week
We just turned on our ac last night for the first time - so now we know it's getting hot. Hopefully those little green tomatoes know it too!

now in Saluda!
Hope everyone got a chance to enjoy the beautiful Memorial Day weather, and to thank a veteran for the peace we enjoy and so often take for granted!
The farm certainly enjoyed the rain. Got my "first" crop of corn (second sowing) in just before the first big deluge this weekend - we'll be a little late this year with sweet corn, due to the crows pulling up the entire first sowing, bless their hearts.
We'll be joining up with the Saluda Tailgate Market on Fridays, starting this week, from 4:30-6:30, so stop by to find us there! It'll be just in time for the weekend, and with the first of the summer squash just now ready - get out the grill - or, at least don't put it away from this past weekend!
See you around,

market news, volunteer hours
We're in the middle of the second week back at the markets, and enjoying every minute. Got to bring the first of the basil, cilantro, and spring mix to the Flat Rock Market this week, along with more ready-to-go tomato transplants and a few mushrooms. Look for more of the same this week. We're starting to see the first baby squashes, and are looking forward to when the weather is right so they'll be big enough to take to market!
We are doing something new with our volunteer hours starting this week, where you can earn credits for produce. Here's the scoop: each hour is worth $6 of produce. Each day you work, you get a coupon before you leave, and you get to use it - no expiration date - whenever you like, either that day or at the market. If you don't use your whole amount, you get to keep the remaining balance for later.
Volunteer days will continue to be on Wednesdays. 8:30-2:00. Give us a call or send us an email if you're interested!

We're back at the markets!
School is out, and we are back! Our first market of the year was this Thursday, and boy did we have some good looking tomato transplants. It was good to see everyone and to be back in my old space again-I'd been dropping by after work on Thursdays, and gravitating to my spot under the tree, but that's really just not the same.
We'll be bringing more transplants to the West Asheville Tailgate Market tomorrow (Tues), along with a few other items, perhaps some fresh greens - we'll see how fast they can grow after the rain this weekend.
Also, we're having a mushroom inoculation party this Wednesday, starting at 8:30. Come on out and see how it works, help us inoculate some shiitake mushroom logs, and take some small ones home!
See you soon!
