Summer Tease

OK

Wednesday had me dreaming about summer - tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers and more. Here we are heading into March, we're just about there - spring is just around the corner. Our farmers are ordering their seeds and making their growing plans. Before you know it the produce selection will start to expand. Spring greens are going to taste so good!

And, in case you haven't noticed, Farmer Jenelle from Old Homestead Farm is growing her own special someone, a baby! We're so excited for her!
