Martin's Farmstand:  Lots of beans, pickles and sweet corn

This morning the farm stand is so full of good local food that it is work of art to fit all the choices in the the space available in the display cooler. We picked over 300 lbs of green and yellow beans yesterday and there is lots of corn for today. (available by the bagful for freezing or as little as one ear). The first seeded watermelons are ready. The one we cut open last evening was gloriously good- perfect in texture, flavor, color and sweetness. Did you know that (in general) seeded watermelon have much better flavor than seedless choices do? Come and get this good food- get it now because even though it can seem that summertime will continue for a long time in reality time and the seasons move on quickly.

Martin's Farmstand:  New crop honey and fresh homemade sauerkraut

Peter extracted about 2500 lbs (over 200 gallons) of honey this summer already which is a record for us. (Dads bees gave an additional 1,000 lbs) The basswood trees only give honey once in while and this was the year! When Basswood does give honey they give a large amount of really white honey with a lovely gentle fruity taste. It is some of the best one can ever taste. This honey is available to purchase at the stand. We also have bulk honey in buckets with honey valves on them and can fill your jars for you. Bulk honey in your container is $6 per lb. Full cases of 12 quarts or more are also priced at $6 per lb plus $1 for each jar. I just opened up a crock of fresh sauerkraut. This batch is mild and delicious. This is available for purchase at the stand.

We are picking the first of the field tomatoes and lots of beans, lettuce, cucumbers, sweet onions, beets, cantaloupe and so much more. Come and get your portion of this bounty. Daniel
