Good afternoon!
Great news just in time for your Independence Day gatherings: Hardin Farms has listed their delicious cantaloupes, sweet corn, watermelons, and squash! Cubed cantaloupe freeze very good for smoothies all year so stock up now!

Two interesting things happened at Cedar Rock Ridge this week. First, I went out the front door one afternoon and heard a loud buzzing sound in the woods. I found it was thousands of honey bees massed on my honey tree. I’ve been watching the bees in this large living oak tree with a hollow top for years, but I’ve never seen this sight before. I texted a video to our bee experts at Drewry Orchards and Green Acres Atkins. They both told me that the bees were swarming. Apparently they outgrew their space in the tree, so 2/3 of the bees leave with their queen to find a new home. The remaining 1/3 remain with a virgin queen. This necessary event is very risky for both groups. The bees that leave don’t have any honey to sustain them during the coming winter, so they must work hard or they won’t survive. The bees that don’t leave have plenty of honey, but if the virgin queen doesn’t mate successfully on her mating flight, there will be no more worker bees, and the original colony will not survive either. Before I could take another video, the swarm took flight heading southwest over my garden, scattering chickens like they’d seen a hawk. A swarm makes a very loud noise! Interesting creatures for sure. Read up on them and you will be amazed! I tried to encourage Carissa to scurry up the tree with a jar to get some honey, but we couldn’t come to terms. Oh well… The second thing was weevils! While inspecting my plants one morning I found several of these evil little creatures. We don’t use chemicals of any kind, so I got a glass jar with a bit of water and dish soap in it and began to pick them off by hand, dropping them into the jar. This continued all week, with fewer weevils every day. I still check the plants and occasionally find a weevil with a short future. I tried to find out more about these pests so I could tell you what kind they were, but there are over 60,000 species of weevils! With so many pests and other variables working against us, it’s amazing that our Growers can produce anything at all! But they do, week after week, all year long. Thanks, Growers!!!

Good afternoon!
Cooking with fresh herbs will excite your taste buds! Enjoy homemade pizza using tomato slices, basil and oregano leaves, and topped with jalapeno slices. I made pizza for Carissa last night, and she loved it. I then told her that there was NO PIZZA SAUCE on it. I used thinly sliced tomatoes and fresh Italian herbs as noted above, along with mushrooms, grass fed ground beef, and cheese. Mmmm!

I was doing some price comparisons at Wal-Mart last week and found that their fresh herbs sell for $2.24 plus tax. All fresh herbs on CLG sell for $1-$2. What a bargain! And shiitake mushrooms sell for $9.10 plus tax for 8 ounces at Wal-Mart, but on CLG you can get fresh shiitake mushrooms for only $5.25 for half a pound! Bell peppers sell for 11 cents cheaper on CLG too!

We have some outstanding Growers who work very hard to supply us with super fresh products each and every week. We are fortunate to live in a place where we can indulge in healthy food straight from the farm, picked just for us! Bask in the goodness!

Don’t forget to check out the recipe page on Conway Locally Grown! This week we found and added a wonderful peach recipe, Brown Sugar Baked Peaches! Yum, yum!!!
