Spring Greens Have Arrived!

It has been a wet, cold few weeks.  This year resembles nothing of last year's warm weather.  Perhaps that means it will not be so hot and dry, too?

At long last, we have some fresh greens, onions and asparagus for you!  

Spinach!!!
The asparagus will be our first cutting on our plants, so we will not be harvesting heavily this year.  All asparagus will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so let us know if you would like some!

Many vegetable markets in our area are providing a whole host of different vegetables.  Some of you may ask us why we offer a limited selection.  The answer to that question relates to our business model.

Buying from us is like taking a trip to your own garden.  With only a few exceptions our veggies are grown in our own local gardens. Occasionally we will buy some melons from are Amish growers, but will always tell you when we do.  Many others who sell produce advertise as locally grown.  When they do, they define local to include vegetables bought from local suppliers buying produce from Southern States.  We do not do this. Any "local" market selling melons, red tomatoes or sweet corn right now did not grow that in North Missouri Soil!!

All local vegetables must by definition be available only during the local growing season.  For this reason our offers can at times be limited.  When you buy from us, you know WHERE your food comes from, and you know WHO grew it!!  You can have confidence in everything you buy from us.

Also, check back here in the next few days to learn about some new offerings we have for you this Spring.

We look forward to serving each of you again this year!!

Check our price list below and let us know what you like.
