C & D Floral and Produce

25/10/2025

Hello friends! Feel like it's been a while, now that we are out of the groove of our weekly markets. We are T minus two weeks away from the Trinkets and Treasures Market at Ferndale High School!
What to expect?
❄️ Produce: our peppers and tomatoes survived or killing frost in the high tunnel, we're crossing our fingers they make it to our November markets as well. We also have cool crops like kale and lettuce, and we still have garlic!
❄️flowers: we are hoping to have fresh (our Skagit crops are still going) and we will definitely have dried as well!
❄️ Bulbs and Corms- we have a limited selection of garlic, but for all of our flower friends we will also have select tulip bulbs and ranunculus corms!
❄️ Holiday goodies - I know it feels weird to think about it already, but we will have wreaths, dried arrangements, and ornaments.
❄️ Silver Dollar eucalyptus starts

All set up inside the greenhouse at the ! We will be here until 3pm today!

Fall farming in a nutshell.
Picking peppers in the pouring rain and finishing off with picking tomatoes by headlamp. All while counting our blessings that we're still doing this, and frost has yet to visit.

We are only a couple days away from our market! It's the perfect stop if you need coffee and local goods and produce if you're out participating in all the fall festivities (Gordon's isn't too far away, neither is Christianson's, Schuh's, Pleasent Ridge Farm, and sooo many more great stops in the Valley).
If you are local to finalize your fall food preservation, start some hot sauces, make some dry rubs, etc. we will have:

-Cured onions and garlic
-garlic that is great for planting
- raspberries
-hot peppers- red habaneros as well as orange, jalapenos, and others
- sweet peppers- lilac bells, yellow and red cornitos, Jimmy nardellos, pepperoncini, and poblanos
-tomatoes
Tomatillos
- green beans
-silver dollar eucalyptus starts
-Flower bouquets
And more!

These past few days of working in the high tunnel, and I can't help but think back to this picture. This was from the night before our first frost, two years ago. We made little tunnels over the pepper rows, and we were doing the last harvest. Both of us work full time jobs that are predominantly outside; harvesting in the cold rain at night, after working all day in the rain was miserable. Definitely makes you feel accomplished when you look back to see how far we have come in our last few years (can only imagine what the next couple will look like (we've been planning like crazy for next year😉)). As of right now, things look amazing (we're hoping we have a later November frost like last year), we will still have produce available. Right now we have large quantities of green beans, various peppers, and garlic. We also still have fall Gold raspberries and cherry tomatoes (sweet 100 and honeycomb). In our November markets, we will also be offering select ranunculus corms, in addition to holiday wreaths and arrangements.

There was no better way to end the Lynden Farmers Market than yesterday (the turnout was phenomenal)! Thank you for shopping local and supporting us, we are overwhelmed with gratitude!

Hello friends! The day has come for the last of the season! That being said, we have more produce than ever today!

🌶️🫑-We are overloaded with peppers today (jalapenos, habaneros, pepperonchinis, cornitios, Jimmy nardellos, and lilac bell peppers. We will have bulk deals today on some of the peppers and on our green beans; making it perfect if you are trying to stock up your freezer, stuffing them, making salsas, hot sauces, pepper jellies, pickling, or even making fire ciders.

🍅- We will also have quite a few tomato baskets with cherry tomatoes, and then will also have some Roma and brandywine that may need a little more ripening, or would be perfect for your green tomato salsa Verde or perfect for your fried green tomatoes (the joys of living in the Pacific Northwest and trying to field grow). If you are more traditional with your salsa Verde, we will also have tomatillos (I recently made a smoked tomatillo salsa - sooo good!).

🧅- We also have a lot of cured onions and shallots, both are a staple for us to have on hand and should store well over the next few weeks (when kept in a dark, dry, cool place)!

🧄- let's talk garlic!!! Today we will have Music, Chesonok Red, Crystal Inspiration, Purple Glazer, and Inchelium Red. We will be running a sale on Inchelium Red.

WIC and Senior FMNP programs are accepted, as well as SNAP, and you could double your SNAP at the market with Market Match. We also take cash and card.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of garlic?
🧄Do you think of the color? Most stores carry white varieties, but theres many other variations of purples and reds and everything in-between.
🧄Do you think of how thick the peel is for storage? Garlic is great now, but some varieties will also store until next spring in the right conditions.
🧄Are you thinking about how easy it is to peel?
🧄Clove quantity and size? What are you using it for and how much do you love garlic?
🧄Flavor? Mild or spicy? How the flavor is fresh, and how it changes once roasted?
🧄Soft or hard neck? Are you braiding your garlic? Although soft neck is ideal for braids, hard necks can also be braided (just like in the picture).
🧄Are you thinking about planting your own? We're only a weeks away from fall planting, which means garlic is usually producing scapes in that June-July window, and ready to harvest in July (here in Whatcom and Skagit Counties).

We love garlic too! We will have a few different varieties available Saturday (perfect for eating and larger heads available for planting).

Saturday is our final 2025 !
It's hard to believe the season is coming to an end. Being a small business is hard, and there are a lot of late nights and early mornings (in addition to our full time jobs). Thank you for shopping local, and supporting our little farm with big dreams. We have a lot of exciting things coming up (stay tuned), and we will see you at the market this Saturday from 10-2!

Just a friendly reminder, we will not be at this weekend's Lynden Farmers Market. However, we will be at the last market on September 27th. If you were hoping to swing by the market, to buy or support crafters and farmers from all over Whatcom and Skagit County, your time is limited. If you're hoping to get the end of the season food preservation push going, we got you (we are actually there too)! Need to stock up on eating or planting garlic? We can help! Thank you for all of your continued support this season! Until then!
