The summer produce that we usually have to wait until July or August for is on now. The spring is so warm that produce gets a very early start, and comes on quickly. Right now we have local tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe, cabbage, squash, beans, corn, and blackberries. Peaches are coming in from Alabama. This Farmers Market is held weekly in Starkville, but there are also roadside stands all over selling their delicious produce.
We'll be in fresh produce Hog Heaven until we leave, then guess what?? - we'll be arriving home just in time for our local crops to be ripe. This year we'll get 2 seasons of delicious fruits and vegetables!
The members are very generous to us with the fruits and veggies from their gardens. Right now we've got blackberries, squash, peppers, potatoes, pecans, and eggs that these wonderful people have shared with us.
