Look What We Have!

We have tomatoes turning!   This makes for a very exciting time around our gardens.  It means that summer

another tomato which is turning red?
is here!   It also means, that we will soon be setting up our truck stands again, too!  We will have tomatoes in limited availability this week, so let us know if you would like some!

Also, we are offering a few new items.  We have added Yukon Gold potatoes to our list this week.  They join the list with the Red Potatoes we offered last week.   We also have a limited amount of kale joining the list of available greens!

In addition to these offerings, we are adding summer onions to our list.  If you use onions, YOU WILL LOVE THESE!   Summer onions are onions bulbs which are small size but not yet dried or cured like the onions you buy from a grocer's shelf.  We send them to you, READY TO USE!  They are cleaned and ready for your cutting board when you get them.  If you like onions, you'll love this option!

As always, you can find our current price list here:

You'll Dig These!

Digging some new Pontiac Red Potatoes!
OK..  Not really.  We'll dig them.  But we think you'll really DIG the great flavor of these young New Potatoes!

It seems like everything in our gardens are about 2 weeks behind where they were last year. But, on the flip side, we have enjoyed salads, green onions, and radishes for far longer than we did last year!  God is good all the time to us, so we just enjoy the bounty He gives us in His own time!

We are also offering some new greens for you.  We have Collard Greens and Swiss Chard ready for the table.

We also have a couple of herbs this year as well.  Sage and Basil have made it on to the list.  We guarantee you won't find these fresh herbs for our low price anywhere else!  These will be picked the day they are delivered to you!  You can't get them any fresher without growing them yourself.  So plan your menu and let us know when you need it.

You can find our new price list here:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AVvBuAN7_FVuhr1NU3XJES7JpJRhYIoOJf7o_4Q7q2U/edit

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.

Year two!!! and we have plants for you!

Jonathon holding some of last year's
Early Girl tomato plants.  (That was
a year ago...He's grown too!!)
Year two is here!!!  We are excited about another season and hopeful that we will not have the drought year we saw last year! God was good to us in spite of it all, and we thank each of you that made it so great!

As we begin our second year, we remember that many of you wanted to know about buying plants from us for use in your own garden.  Few things are as rewarding as tending your own home garden and enjoying the fruits from it!

We want to offer the following plants to you:

  • Tomatoes
    • Roma
    • Better Boy
    • Big Boy
    • Celebrity
    • Early Girl
    • Lemon Boy
    • Jet Star
    • Super Sweet 100
  • Peppers
    • Bell
    • Banana
    • Jalapeno
    • Serrano
    • Anaheim Chili 
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Eggplant
All plants are $1.00 a piece and will be delivered to you in four packs.  Just let us know when you want your plants delivered and we will plan accordingly.   We would also be glad to talk with you to help you plan.  

If you would like a variety or plant that is not listed here, call us and we will see about getting seed.  We can usually find what you are looking for.  

You may order by email to reynoldsvoga@gmail.com or call us (816) 387-3159!

School's Started!!--and with that we shift gears!

School has started and fall is approaching!  Our watermelon and cantaloupe have run their course, and the summer season is winding down for us.  We continue to have many tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and some other veggies.

With the school schedule starting again, we are going to be shifting gears with the way you get your produce.  We will not be setting any more stands out this year.  We will start again next summer with the stands.  We have appreciated each of you that helped make those so successful in our first year and look forward to it again next year.

We will continue delivering fresh produce to you.  We offer free delivery to the Mid-Buchanan and St. Joseph Christian Schools.  You may also come to our home to pick up your orders too.  We will deliver locally as well.  We add a $2 delivery charge for all local deliveries under $10.00.

You may order by email to reynoldsvoga@gmail.com  
You may also call us at  816-797-4788 (Angela Voga), 816-387-3159 (Joe Voga) or (816) 238-3253 (Karl and Connie Reynolds)

Weekly Update!

After another dry week, we find ourselves blessed with an abundance of fine produce.   Some of our plants are showing stress, and it's not possible to keep things watered in this kind of drought, but we are still doing well through it all.

We have more cantaloupe and watermelon this week, plus a couple of new offerings such as Butternut Squash and Eggplant.

We have decided to set up our stand at the Car City lot across from the South Belt Applemarket store each Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 AM-1:00 PM, and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM until the new school year begins.  We will also be set up at the Farris Truck Stop in Faucett, tomorrow, July 21 from 9:00-noon.

As always, those of you who are local to St. Joseph and Buchanan County can get your produce delivered to your home by emailing us or calling us (816) 238-4136.

One of our earliest promises was to offer local, quality produce at grocer prices, and we work hard to honor that.  We don't always promise to be the lowest price, but we will stake our name on the best price.  Karl and Joe visited Applemarket this afternoon and saw they had green (unripe) cantaloupe for $2.00 on their produce sale this weekend.  We believe our $2.50 price (which is our regular price) is competitive since our cantaloupe are ready to eat today.  We also don't believe you should pay $3-4 as you would for the same quality produce at the Farmers Market or other stands just down the road from ours.  Additionally, our tomatoes are local (really local), and not shipped from Arkansas, Canada, or grown hydroponically.  As far as we know, we are the only stand in town that is regularly selling locally grown produce at grocer prices.

We thank each of you that have made our first year such as great success, even in the midst of one of the worst droughts in the past century.  We look forward to continuing to serve you and appreciate your telling others about our new endeavor.

Melons Tomorrow!

We will have our Car City stand up tomorrow morning from at least 8:00 am-1:00 pm, and we will have some melons there!  Stop by and check them out.

We continue to have more tomatoes and a few winter squash as well.  If you have never tried spaghetti squash, then you are missing out on a low-carb alternative to spaghetti.  The flesh of the squash comes off the rind looking just like spaghetti.  All four of the Voga kids liked it.  Yours might too!  Check out this link for more information.

It's still early in the season, but we have some beautiful Amish-grown melons at our stand tomorrow.  The Athena cantaloupe is one of the best early season cataloupes to be found.  And the Stars and Stripes Watermelon will satisfy your early cravings for watermelon too.  (Perfect for the hot week the weatherman is predicting!)

As always you can email your orders to us at reynoldsvoga@gmail.com
