Opening Bell: Plant Sale & Harvest Specials!!!


Good afternoon,
Over 3 inches of rain so far with more in the forecast! Actually the rain was needed by many Growers. Did you know that not all Grower’s need rain at the same time? Of course it depends on the type of crops grown, and the stage of growth, but it also depends on the lay of their land. Most traditional fields are flat which can lead to standing water if too much falls to quickly, or over the course of a couple of days. But here at Cedar Rock Ridge, our garden is at the crest of a high ridge. We have never had standing water here so any rain in welcome.

Several customers have asked about one of our long-time favorite Growers, Arkansas Natural Produce. I spoke with Jay and Deanna and they apologized for the hiccup in delivery. They are working hard to deliver to many markets in the area and transporting their wonderful produce to so many stops takes an awful lot of time on Fridays. The solution we came up with is that they will deliver to their 2 most distant markets every other week. This week they will deliver to Hot Springs, and next week they will deliver to Conway. They will try that cycle for a while and see how it works.

Special sale at ABC Greenhouse & Herb Farm: Check out all the clearance prices on tomato plants, herb plants, and other items. Great prices to get some nice variety in your garden.

Barnhill Orchards has several Harvest Specials offering reduced prices.

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.

The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!

Have a great week!
Steve
