Tasty and Healthy - August 16, 2012


Greetings and welcome to this week's newsletter! Have you been shopping for back-to-school items? If so, an easy dinner might be just the ticket for those long days out.
How about a baked potato bar? Let the family members help by preparing assorted condiments and vegetables for toppings. Or even a baked potato and veggie pizza? Recipes shown below.



Have you driven along Mondon Hill Road from Cooper Terrace, Preston Road to Weatherly Road? Both sides of Mondon Hill Road resemble lakes. Between rains, we are clearing our fields to plant Autumn and Winter Crops.


Pesticide-free Okra is still slowly trickling in. 



If interested in SHELLED black-eye peas, conk peas, or zipper peas, please phone the farm to place an order. Peas are in our standard two pound bag. $8 per bag.


As always, 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
