The Skirted Soldier

Green"er" Acres Farm

Our lettuce is currently unavailable, but we have a new batch started and should be available in a few weeks. The raspberries are also currently unavailable, as we are seeing some disease pressure due to frequent rains.

Lots of fresh herbs, to include basil and rosemary, as well as dill and dill flower heads that are amazing to add to freshly made pickles. And don’t forget the radishes, kale, celery, green peppers, green onions, Red Candy Onions, and deliciously different Lemon Cucumbers and Crystal Apple Cucumbers.

Bake Shop Bakes

The new additions to Bake Shop Bakes items last week were a huge success. Let me tell you, the loaves of homemade bread looked, and smelled, ABSOLUTELY amazing. I know I will personally be ordering a loaf or two myself. Not to mention some of the sweet goodies!!
