Our spraying techniques - We do not spray vegetables unless we sense a dire need. We will let you know if we do spray them. We do not spray any berries. We do spray fruit trees i.e. apples, cherries, plums, etc. Please ask us if you have any questions.

We are just saying peas. It could be sugar snap peas or snow peas. Either way the peas are edible pod peas.
Sour cherries make great pies!
Gregg makes jam all winter from last year's left over fruit. Enjoy the bounty! When you have finished with the jar - PLEASE RETURN IT! We like to reuse not recycle. - it uses less energy!
Kohlrabi is in the turnip family. It is great peeled and sliced raw on salads or you can peel and steam it. It is a great sweet turnip!
Remember to give us at least a day's notice in order to cancel your share for the week. Please return all the boxes, cartons, etc each week.
