The weather has been against us this spring.
This will slow down our produce production so if you come out to the markets and find only crafts and jams then we ask that you be patient with us. Remember that locally grown means the growers must contend with the weather. The three things one must have in order to grow produce, aside from dirt, is warmth, rain, and sunshine. Last year the ground stayed cold for too long. The two years before that we had too much sunshine and not enough rain.
Here at Third Generation Farm we have our spring produce planted. If you want a look at the roster of things that we hope to provide in the coming weeks, here is the list:
