Seasonal Produce

Farm fresh produce tastes like no other you have ever eaten. Because growing vegetables is very labor intense you will not save money to purchase farm fresh produce. What will happen is -- you will eat healthier! This is because of several things.

• The initial seeds planted are quality seeds chosen because of the quality of produce not because it will give a longer shelf life (your commercial growers choice).
• The use of natural fertilizers - non toxic choices following Reams recommendations that will increase the nutritional levels of the produce.
• Taking advantage of beneficial insects and plants to control pests.
• Fields planted where there is absolutely no chance of contamination.

When you eat farm fresh produce you are getting

• No artificial ripening with gases
  
• No artificial coloring.
• No artificial flavorings.
• No hundreds or thousands of miles in transit before it gets to your table - weeks old.
• No use of chemicals banned in the U.S. years ago.
• No contamination from unclean irrigation.

Most produce must be hand planted and then hoed by hand for weed control.

Rows of growing vegetables.

The process of growing vegetables takes several weeks/months. As you can see the end result is well worth the time and effort.

The tomatoes you see are of two varieties those grown for slicing and those grown for saucing. We highly recommend you buy sufficient tomatoes and "put them up" for off season use. This gives you the best quality for your year round use.
