Fresh From Our Farm, week of May 24th!
We're getting close to having some new stuff for everybody! Spring onions and lettuce are going to be really close to being ready this weekend, be sure to check our current products page for the most up-to-date product listing. We have also fielded a lot of questions about CA storage of apples, so I got a little in depth with the subject on our blog, if you wanted to learn more about this valuable innovation.

Planting season has peaked and we're head and shoulders on the other side of it! Whew! 100% of your favorite 3Springs tomatoes are in the ground, meaning a few of our leftovers should be arriving to our stand in 4" pots in the near future. Peppers, eggplant, okra (new), melons, squash, and cucumbers the same (the latter after a whole year's hiatus)! We're also rapidly getting our apples thinned off to insure good cropping for this year and next. It's been a very busy week to say the least!
I know most folks are swamped with email these days, myself included. This being said, I certainly appreciate you reading our contributions to your inbox! It would have been easy to just mark it read and move on, so thanks for taking the time. I do want to take the opportunity to point out that many of our markets to have email listservs as well, and I found a few of them to be particularly good this week.
Both Greenbelt Farmers Market and The Food Trust in Philly came out with email updates this week with not only good information about the market, but also with nifty recipes! While our recipe selection is sparse at the moment, Greenbelt had this offering for those wondering how to prepare rhubarb - this Balsamic Rhubarb Compote sounded yummy. The information is good for us to have before we arrive and I'd wager it'd be the same for you as well. So check 'em out, see if you find them helpful - signup at these market websites:
