Greetings!
We will return for the regular season opening day at the Matthews Community Farmer's Market this Saturday. This is our fourth year at the BEST "producer-only" market in the Charlotte-metro area and we are looking forward to seeing old and new friends.
We will also have our plants and products at the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market this Saturday from 8 until 1. If the Yorkmont Road market is your market of choice, come out and meet Jane, Shaun and my Ray for blueberry bushes and certified organic veggies for your garden, containers, edible landscape and home orchards. |

Spotlight on: SWISS CHARD
Swiss chard, along with kale, mustard greens and collard greens, is one of several leafy green vegetables often referred to as "greens". It is a tall leafy green vegetable with a thick, crunchy stalk that comes in white, red or yellow with wide fan-like green leaves. It is similar to spinach and beet greens in texture and flavor.
If vegetables got grades for traditional nutrients alone, Swiss chard would be one of the vegetable valedictorians. One cup of cooked Swiss chard provides the following daily values in only 35 calories:
Vitamin K: 306.3%
Vitamin A: 109.9%
Magnesium: 37.6%
Calcium: 10.2%
Vitamin C: 52.5%
Potassium: 27.4%
Iron: 22.0%
Vitamin E: 16.6%
Fiber: 14.7%
Manganese: 29.0%
