I’m changing things up a little this week and tomorrow’s market day in Carrollton @8 a.m. will be a bake sale featuring blueberry and Dutch apple pies, German Choc cake, Neapolitan cakes, angel food cakes, iced lemon pound cake loafs, poppyseed, banana and pumpkin mini sweet breads, Peanut Blossom and S’Mores cookies and assorted fruit preserves! There is more rain in the forecast to add to the 2.6” we already received so the gardens may stay muddy for some time. Regardless, I will figure out how to harvest the beautiful sweet corn and green beans that will be ready in a few more days!!! Stay tuned to my page because I’ll either do a pop up market day or have on-farm pickup before the holiday next week.

Our trailer will be on the west side of the Carrollton square tomorrow @ 8 am. We have a small amount of green beans, as well as new potatoes, onions, garlic, gooseberry and blackberry pies, angel food cakes, chocolate and almond sheet cakes, several different sweet breads and a variety of fruit preserves this week. Hope to see you there! Lastly, thanks to everyone who placed orders throughout the week. It gives me something purposeful to do when the heat is too hot to work outside!

Selling fresh produce and baked goodies on the west side of the Carrollton square this morning.
Thankful for the 2.2 inches of rain we received last night to keep the gardens growing!

Today is my prep day for selling on the Carrollton square tomorrow (Friday). I’ll have the trailer on the west side and ready to sell @ 8 am. This will be the last day this season for beets and peas (pea-lovers can thank me because the peas are already shelled out)! Possibly the last of the lettuce, also, since it really doesn’t like 90 degree temps.
I baked Angel food and German chocolate cakes, blueberry muffins, banana bread, several cookies and might be able to get a blackberry pie or two done before it’s too late but no guarantees. Come see me in the morning, last week was great and I’ve missed you guys!
