Turner Farm
Oh, Organic!
Turner Farm been busy hauling in potatoes (more than 1500 lbs so far - more reds and russets on Thursday) and hoeing their 2 acre pumpkin field. That's the one that that panoramic picture was taken of that ran in this e-newsletter a few weeks ago. They've been able to take the horses through the aisles until now, as the vines started to run last week. So it's all by hand now. Quite a daunting task!! Their tomatoes have come back now that the heat wave after-effects are behind us and they also have some wonderful sweet corn - a new yellow variety that is just delicious, and big ears too. They'll have basil and peppers and a big squash sale. Beans are back... It's going to be a great spread.

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK:
Spend the afternoon at the farmers market. Show your support for local growers. You'll find locally grown fruits and vegetables, homemade preserves, baked goods, flowers, plants, wine, and crafts. The produce is harvested at its peak to ensure freshness. Farmers markets are also an excellent source of organic produce.
