Tuesday was a day of fun out in the community. A new friend of GG invited us to pick apples at his home, we enjoyed a pizza feast at Pizza Hut, and then we visited Tracy Stuba at Harbel's Market. She donated a bounty of Harvey's Garden peppers to be turned in to Jungle Jam and Juicy Jam! We so appreciate these generous community friends who take Goodness Grows' mission to heart and offer so much support and friendship! It was a great fall day out and about in the valley! Wednesday saw our bunch doing some more cleaning in the building and, like they also did on Monday afternoon, making jam. We have several shows coming up, as well as our fundraiser, so we need to have plenty of jam on hand. Now that fall has arrived, it's time for our fan favorite cranberry flavors. Yay! Cranberry Orange Juicy Jam & Cranberry Jalapeno Jungle Jam are now ready to be enjoyed. Today we started with more jam and then headed out into the fields with Crestview Middle School to do some prep for winter. It's time for pulling up water lines and putting the fields to bed. Always something to do when running a farm! This afternoon we will be doing some decorating as we prepare for this weekend. On Saturday we'll be set up for the festival on Main Street in Columbiana.
