Diverse Offerings from the Garden

Harvest seems to have peaked. Some crops are done or winding down. The garden is still yielding:
- Tomatoes (heirloom, hybrid and cherry)
- Potatoes (fingerling and standard)
- Huckleberries (Great for Pies!)
- Okra
- Peppers (Poblano, Bell, Anaheim, Banana, Cayenne, Jalapeno and more)
- Acorn Squash
- Carrots
- Broom Corn
- Mixed Sunflowers

Winding down but still available in very limited quantities:
- Summer Squash
- Cucumbers
- Beets
- Green Beans

AS ALWAYS, get to the market EARLY for best selection. Market starts at 6:45 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m.

Also, check out the NEW WEDNESDAY MARKET in Bloomington at College and Veterans! Wednesday evenings from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

New Partnerships

I am pleased to announce two new partnerships for me in the local food movement. Wild Tree Cafe in Evanston and True Nature Foods in Chicago are both offering produce from my farm along with produce from other local growers. Both of these businesses are serious about bringing the freshest nutrition to their customers, educating others about the benefits of local food and supporting local producers. More info can be found about these conscientious and locally owned businesses on the web:
