Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op: From ABC Nature, Debe Hudson
Dear Co-opers -
Due to turning in my woody plant license, this will be the last time ABC Nature will be delivering hardy woody plants like tea plants, pawpaws, blueberry bushes, blackberry bushes and such because we are turning in our plant board license?
We will continue to provide herbs, spices and Tropical plants but we will not be able to provide woody plants for 2 reasons: 1. We are approaching retirement age and can’t seem to find the energy needed to continue to do all the plants we sell so we are turning in our plant board license. 2. We are trying to turn our farm into a sustainable organic farm and will hopefully be able to provide in the future grapes, kiwi fruit, and other items you can only buy in the stores. We will be selling to all the markets, so it will be first come, first serve: Blueberry bushes (1 gallon) $7.00 each Blackberry bushes (1 gallon) $7.00 each Pomegranate bushes (3 gallon) $25.00 each (1left) Goji berry vines (1 gallon) $10.00 And if you know we grow certain things and you don’t find them listed, please email me at abcnatur@gmail.com to inquire as to availability! We want to thank all that has helped our farm out during these trying times throughout the recession starting in 2007. But, we will still be around with the herbs, spices, citrus treCarolina Foothills, SC: Market Opens Today at 4pm!
