Tasty and Healthy -

August 22. 2013

Hello

Thanks for making our "box special" so successful! Joann and Rolo will be creating another, which will be announced on Sunday, and will be available while quantities last on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Pick-up at the Produce Barn on the farm only.

We hope you enjoy our recipe ideas which are located on the right panel of our website.

Our pesticide-free Traditional Southern Field Peas (conks and black eyes) are specialties at the farm, and a favorite in the community. They have been shelled and fresh-frozen for maximum nutrition and flavor. Please call to reserve if you would like Joann or Rolo to take these freshly-shelled peas to a satellite location. The fresh-frozen bags are $8 per two pound 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 regularly to test our soil and plants. For more information about our farming techniques,

and the testing we undergo, please click here.

Thank You for recycling your shopping bags with us.

Please keep them coming!
