The summer is Heating up!
There is nothing like heating the summer up with some fresh made salsa. We have all the ingredients; tomatoes, onions, cilantro and don't forget the Jalapenos. How about hot banana peppers. They make a great hot pepper relish for those summer barbecues. No summer barbecue is complete with out roasted sweet corn. So come find us at the markets to do your Fourth of July weekend produce shopping for all those parties. Just thinking about all the great food is making my mouth water.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone
While rain is good. It is like the old saying too much of a good thing can be bad. After the showers that we have been having it has been hard to get into the garden at times. The produce is loving it though. We have been extremely busy going to multiple markets. Including Overland Park farmer's Market, Kansas City's Farmer's market, Lexington Farmer's Market, Marshall's Farmer's Market, Our Market off 24 Hwy and recently We participated in Columbia's Farm to Table program. We are always excited to share the product of our labor with all who are open to experiencing it. The rain hasn't slowed us down much as you can see. We have tomatoes that are ripening everyday, summer squash, eggplant, an assortment of pepper's and much more. So stop by and see us at one of the market's and we will be glad to help you find some Farm Fresh produce for you and your family. P.S. don't worry about the rain there is always sunshine soon to follow.
