Tasty and Healthy, December 22, 2011

Have you been naughty or nice?

It was great seeing you all last week on the Farm, and in our satellite locations and even here on the blog! We have two inspirational quotes this week and lots of goodies, but first - very important for our Spring Hill Customers to know we will only be your way on Friday (see immediately below)

Just a reminder for where we'll be through the end of the year:

Monday - we will be at the Cloverleaf location (new hours 9A-1P). If you would like any of the pesticide-free greens, please phone to reserve them, so that we know to bring them with us.

Friday - our Spring Hill Drive location at the Chevron Station. If you would like any of the Swiss Chard, Greens, or Bok Choy, please phone to reserve them, so we can bring them with us. The Hernando County Farmers Market is closed for the next two Saturdays.

The Farm will be open regular hours except on Christmas Day, when we will be closed.

For our Calendar of Locations, and special times and dates for December, please click here, or click on the Calendar Tab at the top of this page.

Because we are growing a large variety of Greens this winter, we will be harvesting Greens in a rotational manner. We will do our best to keep you informed of which Greens are being harvested, but if you need special orders, please phone the farm. We will do everything possible to accommodate your requests when special orders are made.


Where else can you phone to have freshly harvested produce made available?

This week's pesticide-free harvest includes:

Mustards ($4.00)
Collards ($4.50)
Kale
Turnip Roots (good for stews, soups, and freezing)
Broccoli (final cutting)
Swiss Chard (great in winter salads, soups, sides and sandwiches)
White Icicle Radishes

We are grateful for the opportunity of serving you, and bringing you the freshest, healthiest produce possible at the best prices, for your family's dining enjoyment. Thanks for always being supportive and encouraging. Florida offers unique growing conditions - we always are open to your suggestions.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten
