Our pesticide-free Traditional Southern Field Pea crops were planted and growing, but many have been underwater for days and days. It's a wait-and-see if they will make it, or if the fields require planting again. Thanks to all of you who have placed reservations.
Last year we sold out of these hearty, versatile peas, so be sure to phone your reservation early! If you'll want unshelled bushels of Beasley peas, please phone ahead. They should be ready at the end of July and throughout August.
Please phone if you are interested in canning beets. These are our pesticide-free, small-to-medium size beets without the green tops.
Please feel free to phone the farm for special requests or special orders. We'll do everything we can to accommodate you. If you need something from the Farmers Market in Plant City, it is best to phone by Wednesday afternoon.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services visits to our farm to test our soil and plants. For more information about our farming techniques, and the testing we undergo, please click here.
Gran'ma Angie thanks you for the bags! She hopes you will keep on bringing 'em. Thanks for "recycling" your plastic bags with us! It helps us keep prices down.

That what is right will eventually triumph.
And there is purpose and worth to
each and every life."
