We believe the path to healthier eating starts with cooking more at home.  We are committed to providing you with healthy, quality, fresh produce to improve your overall well-being before those first flakes of Winter arrive!

And thanks for stopping by – rain or shine!  We hope to see you this week!

• Summer Vegetables –now and continuing through August.  We have a wide variety of vegetables; there is something for everyone.
• Sweet Corn – Available in bulk quantities most days or pre-order
• Canning Tomatoes – through August, pre-order recommended
• Peaches – We no longer grow any and will try to have them available from another farm.  Bushels hopefully in several weeks.
• Summer Apples – Summer variety apples are typically softer and tarter, good for applesauce, fresh eating, and cooking.
• Sunflowers – guesstimate on their bloom is late August/early September
• Bartlett Pears – available in bulk toward the end of August
• Concord and Niagara Grapes – probably starting mid- to late September

If you are looking to pick your own, we recommend you contact Brookside Farms.  They have many acres of u-pick blueberries and are very family oriented.  Call (269) 657-3500 or check their Facebook page for updates.

This specialty food brand, Terrapin Ridge Farms, makes 84 great selling products including savory jams, garnishing aioli squeezes, mustards, dips, dressings, sauces, and grill and wing sauces.  We carry several of their mustards and have been pleased with their taste.  They can be used in many ways and make a tasty difference to an otherwise ordinary sandwich.

With peaches on our minds, it seems like the right time to enjoy some Peach and Honey wine!  It is a sweet wine, a perfect blend of sweet peaches with a taste of honey.

Roasted Tomatoes
Did you know you can easily roast tomatoes?  They are good with spaghetti, alongside meatballs, or as a side dish.

We also have information on Storing and Preserving Food on our website.
