Coming Soon

Tomatoes in the rainstorm, so much potential in each plant! Did you know some varieties of tomatoes can produce up to 50-80 pounds per plant?

In the next few weeks we have items like green onions, summer squash, as well as more greens each week before the days get too warm.

We will also have in store some cool Mircrogreens! These are similar to sprouts but are grown in the soil.

Also many more strawberries are expected to ripen!

As the season progresses we can look forward to all the summer crops we grow- the tomatoes, sweet peppers, chilies, and our cucumbers are all in the ground!

See you vvvery soon!
