Galax Farmers Market Sept 18 & 19

Good Afternoon, Market People!

This weekend's market has few vendors, but some really delicious items you should get while you can!

 Mountain Memories Farm will return on Friday with grass fed lamb and (hopefully) fresh eggs.

 Leroy Guynn from Cana has Stayman apples, cabbage, green peppers, and honey- and always some surprises!

 Mr. Walker brings home baked cakes, pies, cookies, cherry tomatoes, and applesauce from Mr. Guynn's apples.

 A  new vendor in Lowgap, NC contacted me this week about bringing fresh shitake mushrooms to our market!  She said she didn't know if she'd be able to harvest enough this week, but she would come if she could. If not this week, then next! Local mushrooms- how lucky are we?

 Blue Bee Farm (Tim and Stacy Phipps) will not attend this weekend, but will hopefully have enough of their gorgeous squashes left after their church sale to return next Friday, the 25th.

 Groundswell Farm has a pitifully tiny harvest this week, and I will be skipping market tomorrow.  Next week I'll be  back with lots of eggs, parsley, turnip greens, lettuce, radishes and dill. I've been busy planting a variety of salad greens and roots this month and will harvest these into the winter months after the market season is over, so see me at market if you want to be on the email list for the remainder of 2009 and 2010.

Arwen Cayton may be able to see us with her beautiful winter squashes and gourds tomorrow- she brings recipes and all kinds of wonderful tips and we will hope to see her!

Raymond Worrell of Lazy Branch Creations in Ennice will not join us this weekend, but he sends his well wishes and hellos to everyone that has been asking about him.  He says he will do his best to see us soon!

Take care, everyone, and have a great weekend!

Best,

Sara
