Tell Us What You Want

Busy Time!

What a busy, busy time of year!  With the unseasonable warm weather we're experiencing, we're seeing green everywhere!  The grass is green, trees are budding, plants are being transplanted and seeds are sprouting throughout our gardens.  We had nice rains last week.  This is a dream for gardeners in Northwest Missouri!

We stay cognizant of the fact that a cold spell could still come and give us all kinds of trouble, but we are going ahead and planting some things much earlier than usual in the hope that it does not turn cold.  If it does, we have only lost some seed and time.  It can be replanted.  It the weather stays nice, we will all be able to enjoy fresh, local produce earlier than usual!

So far we have planted in our gardens or greenhouse:

• Arugula
• Beets-(Detroit Dark Red and Cylindra)
• Broccoli-(Packman and Premium Crop)
• Cabbage-(Stonehead)
• Carrots-(Imperators)
• Chard-(Rainbow)
• Cucumbers(National Pickling and Straight Eights)
• Eggplant
• Herbs-(Basil, Cilantro, Dill, Oregano, Rosemary, Sage)
• Kale
• Lettuce (Head-Buttercrunch, Iceberg, and Romaine)
• Lettuce (Leaf-Oak Leaf, Salad Bowl, Mesculin)
• Mustard
• Onions-(Green, Yellow, Red and Whites)
• Peppers-(Hot-Serrano, Anaheim Chili, Jalapeno, Long Red Chili's)
• Peppers-(Sweet-Banana, Red/Green/Purple/Gold Bells)
• Potatoes-(Reds and Golds)
• Radishes-(Red Cherry, Icicle and the huge German Giant)
• Spinach
• Squash-(Summer-Zucchini and Yellow Crooknecks)
• Tomatoes
• Turnips
• Watermelons-(Yeah, we're really gambling on the weather here, but why not?)

Stay tuned!

This week’s featured product is broccoli.  

 Broccoli is a cool weather plant that is grown in the spring and fall in our region.  In Northwest Missouri it must be started indoors and transplanted.  Additionally, it does not continue to produce large heads after the first one is picked so we must do a fair bit of planning to ensure we have planted what we will need.  To aid us, we are asking anyone who is interested in bulk broccoli to let us know how much you might want.  A typical head of broccoli will weigh 1.25 to 1.5 pounds.  Broccoli is a great vegetable to freeze and the process is simple.  You can also dehydrate broccoli for use in soups later in the year, too. 

Check out the links below to learn more about freezing/dehydrating broccoli as well as some recipes we suggest.

ABOUT US

About Us

Reynolds & Voga is a family-run business from the St. Joseph, MO area with the goal of providing the healthiest produce choices for you and your family.  Unless we tell you otherwise, all of our produce is grown locally.  Homegrown vegetables are not only healthier, but they taste better than most of the products you find in the store.  Since we grow locally, our product availability is limited by the season.  We may not have everything all the time, but what we do have in season, will always be the best!!

Pricing

We don’t believe healthier foods should be more expensive.  Unlike many vendors that overcharge for quality, locally-grown produce, our prices will remain comparable to grocer prices throughout the season.  You will be able to buy high quality, healthy produce from us without spending more than you would at the store.  Prices will be published weekly in our newsletter.

Quality Guarantee

We proudly display our name on our product...and that means something to us. 

It means we will deliver a quality product with the highest standard of service.  If you are ever dissatisfied with a purchase, we will make it right.
