It's Officially Summer - We Have Tomatoes

We are beginning to harvest the first of the tomatoes for the season. We planted 8 or more different varieties, most of them heirloom varieties. Some are red, some are orange, and some are dark brownish-red. Some are large, some are small; some are “bumpy,” while others are almost perfectly round. Choose your favorite variety or, if you prefer, we offer a variety pack that includes at least three different types of tomatoes.

Another offering that says “summer” (at least to me) is pinto beans. If you haven’t tried pinto beans fresh, you owe it to yourself to do it at least once. Dry pintos are great for chili and to go with ham and cornbread, but fresh pintos have a flavor the dry beans don’t.

We still have limited amounts of blueberries, broccoli, and cabbage, and great amounts of green beans. If you’d like to get a bulk order of green beans for canning or freezing, contact us about a discount price.

The order window is noon today until 5 p.m. Friday for pick-up at Saturday’s farmers’ market (9-11 a.m.) on the courthouse square. You can place your order at the Foothills Market webpage.

Eat something fresh this week!
