Vanina's new bees.

August 30 - September 13

After a very hectic summer, I am finally getting around to updating the web page again! You will find all of our available products here. Pre-orders are welcome for both the Swain market as well as the Jackson market. Just give me a call by Thursday.

Things have been pretty crazy here at the farm this summer, but with a lot of help from friends (and a HUGE shout out to Krista!) I have been able to keep up the momentum. The heat and dryness had a pretty profound effect, but now that the dog days are over, things are looking up.

I hope to see everyone out over the Labor Day weekend!

Krista.........really?!?

Local dollars
