Greetings!
 
We will be back at the Matthews Community Farmer's Market this Saturday with our lettuce mix. The cool weather has made this wonderful organic mixture of lettuces bright and beautiful. We grow this melody of green and red lettuces in a mineral-rich soil that is fertilized with sea kelp so that your family and ours gets a nutrient dense food for your table. We use a certified organic seed mixture that contains Tango, Red and Green Salad Bowl, Parris Island, Dark Lollo Rossa, Deer Tongue, Rouge D'Huver, and Firecracker lettuces. A hint of dill leaf is added. For those of you that want to kick it up a notch, we will have arugula available separately.
 
We will also have some tender, baby Red Russian Kale, and baby Cilanto available.
 
We hope you will brave the weather tomorrow and support the farmers at the Matthews Market tomorrow.
 
SEE YOU THERE!
 
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Mary Roberts
