What's shakin' at the farm

We have not dropped off the face of the earth!  Our personal and professional lives have been crazy.  Whose haven't?  We are still growing, harvesting and selling fall/winter goodies.  The greens are growing and each week we harvest something new.  Stay tuned kids for a list of this week's available produce and where we'll be selling it...

what's new pussycat?

Microgreens.  Read about them here:  http://www.freshorigins.com/microgreens.html
We are growing them and they are delicious. 

Other Fall crops are growing too.  Stay tuned kids...

this makes my stomach growl

Since we are (as I type) harvesting another patch of the sweetest, most delicious corn in Georgia, I thought I'd share one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite cooks. Print this recipe and bring yourself and your shopping bag to Snellville or Brookhaven tomorrow to get your Silver Queen Corn (and other fresh veggies).  If you make this, your family will love you even more than they already do ;-)

tomatoes, potatoes and other things

First of all, what a great week we had last week!  The first round of weekly box sales exceeded our expectations and based on the feedback we've received, our customers were very pleased.  We participated in 4 farmers' markets last week as well. 

Tomatoes.  If you don't know anything about the dreaded "grocery store tomato," read this: http://politicsoftheplate.com/?p=906.  It's just an exerpt from a book, but you'll get the idea.  Farmers' market shoppers, educate yourselves.  The items you find at the markets won't look, smell or taste like what you buy at the supermarket - Thank God!

Potatoes.  Boy have we got potatoes!  The fingerlings are selling very well and tasting even better.  We haven't been able to cook any of our yukon gold yet because we are selling them so fast.  Maybe tonight.  We still have Red Norland and Red Gold new potatoes coming out of the earth too.  The farmer is hopeful that we'll have sweet potatoes in a week or so :)

This week we are harvesting tomatoes, potatoes, jalepenos, bell peppers, banana peppers, okra, cabbage, kale, watermelon, onions, cucumbers and crowder peas.  We hope to have shelled peas available at this weekend's markets.

If you are interested in a weekly box, email us at harvestmoonfarms@gmail.com before 2pm on Tuesday to be added to The List.
