Apologies for the bare bones notification this week. This is what no internet at your Market Managers house looks like! We’re hoping Centurylink don’t take too long digging up our yard to install new lines.

M@D has a few new listings that should be easy to find. As is every week, it’s all fresh and delicious!

Appreciate you all so very much!

Bee blessed,

Martin's Farmstand:  Broccoli, Brussel sprouts and canning tomatoes


We have a stand packed full of good food for you. A few highlights of the moment are about 5 bushels of Concord grapes and lots of sweet potatoes. The patch yielded a normal amount. There are several thousand lbs sitting here curing by the woodstove. For the best flavor and storage potential we cure sweet potatoes for about 10 days in a space that is about 85 degrees and with fairly high humidity. After that they like 50 to 70 degrees and dry.
I have about 6 bushels of really nice broccoli from my patch for today. Brussel sprouts and celery are also doing well this year.
We still have lots of canning tomatoes and a few bushel of beans. They will be gone soon. The Irish (red white, russet, blue etc) potato field still has live plants as is normal and are giving a good crop. We are hand digging new potatoes for fresh eating as needed. The main fall storage potato harvest will be sometime towards mid October. Daniel
