Two days of rain

Well, it has rained for the past two days so we set up the stand self-serve.



It rained continuously all day today (Saturday). We need it badly but, it is a little tough on produce sales. A handful of brave souls did make it out however and we are, of course, thankful for that.



The rain was hard on our signs and labels so before we open tomorrow we'll have to redo a bunch of them.



And with it being so wet there were certain items that were not put out. Like the Burns' maple pancake mix, maple pop corn, the baked goods and Kristines goat milk soap.



Speaking of the soap, that is another item we've added to the stand. Kristine Heise is offering beautiful and sweet smelling bars of goat milk soap. We just added them last weekend.



Another new item is honey from Heritage Oaks Apiary. This is a product that the Sweeney's have acquired. A relative of John's raises the bees.



The beekeeper is Joerg Kessler. The bees that produce this honey are kept in two area's of Minnesota - Forest Lake and Princeton. The honey from Forest Lake is wildflower honey. The Princeton honey is from bees that are kept on an organic dairy farm that pastures their animals on clover and there are wild flowers in the vicinity.


Sunday is supposed to be sunny so everything will be out tomorrow.

Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who helped make last weekend a success! We had sweet corn and sold out each day. Looks like we will have sweet corn again this weekend.

The tomatoes are just now starting to ripen. It's possible we will have ripe tomatoes the following weekend August 21, 22 and 23.

The blue berries are still coming. They sure are good so be sure to get some.

We have a line on some yellow raspberries for this weekend also.

And don't forget the Boker Tov Cafe' locally roasted organic coffee!

Regular days and hours

It looks like we have come up with regular days and hours for the road side stand to be open.

Friday 3pm - 6pm

Saturday 9am - 5pm

Sunday 12noon - 5pm



We'll be staying with these days and hours at least until the rest of the crops come in.
At that time we may have to add other days to help move all the produce.

The main items we get asked for are tomatoes and corn. Still waiting for those. We currently have green tomatoes in the green house. Just waiting for them to ripen. It looks like the corn will be coming in late. Although we are looking for an additional source.

The locally roasted organic coffee will be offered this weekend.

Also we will have a complete inventory of Burning Bush Maple Syrup this weekend as well.
