Good morning!
This is just a reminder that if you placed an order, this week, you will be picking up, this evening, between 4pm-6pm!
If you cannot make that pick up, please let me know, and I will add you to the Friday pick up, 10am-12pm, or the Saturday pick up, 10am-4pm!
If you are picking up, this evening, but going to be running late, after 6pm, your order will be boxed up, and waiting for you, in the greenhouse! I feel this is a good way to both help your schedule, and my schedule! Just let me know if you are going to be running late, and I will have it ready!

Happy Monday eve, market customers!
And, we are on the brink of stepping into March, tomorrow, and, for me, that is always the game changer in the seasons!
Also why I picked this song…to me, it’s just such a fun spring like song! Go ahead, turn it up, get your groove on, and welcome the new month!
Also, reminding you that orders are due by 8am in the morning, AND, if you need to order from Kingdom Fish, this is your time, because they need to be off the market for a few weeks, while Don has shoulder surgery and recovery time!!
So, let’s all Shambala into the evening, into our market orders, and into tomorrow’s new month!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Yalaha, FL: Market open
If anyone wants Regular Chives, I have those as well as little chive seedlings available. If there is demand I can list them for you. Also available but not listed are Dill seedlings and curly Parsley seedlings.
I’ve adjusted the regular ordering window a little bit to account for when we are packing up the Restaurant orders. So order now through Thursday 8am for Friday-Sunday pickup.
I may still be able to take orders after Thursday Morning but can’t guarantee availability of things as I may have already packed them for the Restaurants.
Ordering window is Monday Afternoon through Thursday Morning and pick up will be Friday-Sunday by appointment until we expand more, Please indicate when you would like to pick up when you place your order.
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up! (and if I don’t reply to confirm within a day, bump my e-mail or text me 407-342-8515. Though I have cleaned up my e-mail so hopefully I won’t Miss Anyone.)
Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market
You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then set the number and click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy (it is the little picture right next to the quantity box.) Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.
Remember to let me know when you want to pick up on Sat or maybe even Friday late afternoon or on Sunday. (If I don’t send you an e-mail confirmation of your order and pick up time, please make sure you checked out and completed your order.)

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market: This Week at the Market
This week is looking like a bit of spring has sprung! We’re so excited to get moving outside again. There’s a LOT going on at the farm these days! We have a new (to me) tractor to help move the earth, the manure and wood chips around. My back is so thankful!!! You will notice a larger greenhouse going up this year. We will have lots more room for all those seed trays now! So much to come this year – I’m so excited!
This week we have a few more veggies/ greens and rotated the microgreens to peas. We will have the green salad mix back next week. Let me know how you like them!
Have a great week and get outside and enjoy some sunshine!!
