Martin's Farmstand:  Pears


It is August and there is all sorts of good food in our stand. The online market is open for orders.

We are working at harvesting the summercrisp pears. They are avaialbe now. Half bushel baskets of the nicest of our fine no-spray pears are available for $14 and the #2s are $7 basket. You can also get small amounts by the pound.

I plan to have lots of good lettuce, beans, cilantro, radish, spinach, etc through the fall. To accomplish this I seed many plantings all through the spring and long into the summer. I just planted the last planting of beans for the year on Saturday. These are timed to get ready in early Oct. Lettuce, spinach and many other things also are still being planted every week or ten days. Daniel

Princeton Farm Fresh:  The Market is Open


Last week was National Farmers Market Week, and I missed the boat. So, I thought that I would carry on the week here in Princeton just a bit longer.
Did you know that Farmers Markets return 3 times more of their sales to the local economy? When farmers sell to their local communities they are keeping their dollars earned right here in our community. What could be better for Princeton than you the consumer buying local and then for the farmer to turn around and keep it local too? Statistics are pointing out that growers selling locally are adding an additional 13 jobs to our areas local economy. I know right here in Princeton that may be overstated, but think about it. Every time you buy from a local farmer, your food dollars have stayed right here in our community, supporting a small family farm, not a big corporation. When that farmer turns around and buys tires, furniture, or gets a haircut right here in our community, we have kept those dollars local!
Thank you for your continued support of this and the Caldwell County Farmers Market. You (the consumer) are making a difference in your community, and I for one thank you!
See you on Friday,
Angela
P.S. And on Thursday from 4-6 at the Caldwell County Farmers Market.
