Tasty and Healthy - September 13, 2012


Okra grows on a small plant. It's the fruit after beautiful yellow and purple flowers blossom, and the bees pollinate. Our bees keep very busy on the farm, with a wide assortment of plants and flowers requiring their services.


Pesticide-free Okra is currently being harvested on the farm. Try it in casseroles, soups, fried, baked, roasted and grilled (Recipes on the right).


Currently we are preparing our fields to plant Autumn and Winter Crops.





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

Quotes for this week:


Love doesn’t demand to be loved back, 
but it doesn’t mean it exists to be taken for granted.
~ Unknown

Every-time you smile at someone,
it is an action of love,
a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.
 ~ Mother Teresa
