Bringing in 2011 with a leaky pipe!

Happy New Year!!

I hope everyone rang in 2011 in style with  no LEAKING pipes.

Thank God for my brother who can fix just about anything, and Ryan finding the leak before it got out of hand. It is now fixed, however we have this ugly dry wall bulk head in our living room. I really should not complain-I have a healthy family. Part of my new years resolution is

no complaining!!!

Anyways, cheers to great things in 2010 and many more to come in 2011.

Here's a look back on 2010:

*  Found out the gender of our little pumpkin seed, GIRL!

* Ryan said good-bye to his sales job and became a FULL-TIME farmer.

* Planted more asparagus-but didn't harvest much of the crop ...due to my big belly.

*Did some much needed work up at the roadside

.

* Gave birth to our beautiful Bella, in our house, during THE hottest day of the year (July 6th).

* Introduced a portable interact device-such a wonderful thing to have.

* Introduced "market" hours to our market.

* AWESOME year for ALL crops!

* Sweet corn was early.

* We did get a frost..but it held off for a while (thanks mother nature)!

All in all, it was a great year, but this year will be even better.

We promise you fresh veggies and a few new things to look forward to at our market stand.

Cheers to all!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Oct. 31st...the last day, until the spring!

We have been so busy the past month, that I haven't had the chance to post! Tomorrow will be our last day. We would like to thank you all for buying our fresh produce. It makes me so happy to see people buying local. With that being said I found a great video discussing the effects of imported fruits and veg. Hellmann's has a great site, on that site you can find local markets and a list of fruits/veggies that are in season.

Here is the link: Please watch the video! Remember, Eat real, Eat local"

Over the past few months we have met so many wonderful people. We look forward to seeing everyone in the Spring and eating our fresh grown and picked asparagus!!;)

Keep checking our blog for updates in the Spring and sneak peaks!!

Lesson of The Week...

When working at the veggie stand you get to meet lots of wonderful people and learn new things. Here's what I learned yesterday, that stealing is okay to show your young child! Yes,  that's right, I got to watch a GROWN man teach his little boy that stealing a pumpkin would be okay. Well, Sir, I hope you get the chance to read our blog and know that WE could see you put the extra pumpkins in you truck. How can you sleep at night? You just showed your child that stealing is okay. 

Have a great Wednesday!
