Oakview Farm: has returned with some of their delicious breads and chocolate candies, along with great selection of produce.

Custom wreaths are available by contacting me.

Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens and sprouts are extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, and vitamins and chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are fresher. Put them on your sandwich, top your salads with them, or use them in place of lettuce.

Our new Spring Seasonal Chef’s Blend is coming soon.
Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with Pea, Radish, Broccoli, Basic salad Mix, and Sunflower.
Enjoy a dazzling array of new flavors. Plants are at their absolute peak of flavor intensity at this stage of life. They pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Come check us out.

MISC MARKET NOTES

Weekly Ordering is Resumed


If April Showers bring May Flowers then this year’s approaching May should be glorious! We know of at least two events that were canceled today because of heavy rains. With tomorrow’s forecast looking to be dreary as well I am reminded that the first Easter was not marked by happy gatherings, spring events, bright colors or tons of candy. The times were perplexing and people wondered what would become of all the chaos going on around them. People were faced with hard realities and had to choose what to believe about what had happened and was taking place around them.

That sounds a little too familiar doesn’t it? The important questions haven’t changed and mankind is still faced with the same questions – Is Jesus who He said He was, and Did he indeed raise from the dead?

At it’s core Easter celebrates those answers. And we don’t need sunshine to appreciate what that means for mankind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
New & Relisted Products
Asparagus from Avalon Farms
Multiple Limited Quantity items from Alabama Homestead
Multiple Styles of SCRUBBIES from Casa Perdido
(These are truly the nicest scrubby bags we’ve ever seen)
Ranch Seasoning from Hortons Farm

Spring open house

Avalon Farms:

Signal-2023-04-08-13-44-49-625

Asparagus has started popping up so there will be a few listed this week. With the cooler cloudy forecast for this next week, it will probably only be 3 bundles. Hey! They’re doing the best they can. Ha ha

Onions are starting to bulb. Sugar Snap Peas have put on their first blooms. Little tomato plants have a few blooms. Soon we’ll be overrun with tasty natural goodness.

We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
