Opening Bell: Summer Squash, Corn, Bulk Cucumbers & Blackberries!


Good afternoon,

Now is a great time to take advantage of the super prices on summer squash and freeze them for use fall and winter. Just slice, blanch, and freeze in Ziploc bags and you can have delicious squash casserole anytime you want! I’ve also seen recipes for zucchini dill pickles. Might be worth a try.

Barnhill Orchards is picking blackberries! Is it jam making time?

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

Opening Bell: Bluebird BEEF NOTE - Zephyr Squash, Coffee, Skoosh & Strawberries!


Good afternoon,

This will be the last delivery of the season for ABC Greenhouse so check out Debe’s super plant sale. You may have noticed that we’ve had logs of rain lately. That’s great for most produce items, but they also need sunshine, which has been in short supply lately. For that reason, squash may be in short supply, so order accordingly.

A Note from Barnhill Orchards:
New this week: Fresh baby cucumbers, Zephyr squash, green tomatoes, and burp-less cucumbers.

A note from Bluebird Hill Berry Farm: Bluebird Hill Berry Farm will be doing some inventory control work with their listed items. Even though the system may say that a beef item is available there will be NO beef available until this blog states that there is beef available from us. The inventory control work requires the item be listed as available for a short period of time. There will be a supply of beef available in about two weeks.

Thank you for your patience.

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!

Opening Bell: New Grower, ANP & Plant Sale!!!


Good afternoon,
Two bits of good news for CLG: First, Arkansas Natural Produce will deliver this Friday so look for their wonderful products. Second, we are happy to introduce a new Grower! Weal and Woe Farm. I’ve been out to the farm and found an impressive array of vegetables that will be available during the year. Please take a look at the photos Katie has posted and you’ll see the promise of a fruitful season.

A Note from Weal and Woe Farm:
Weal and Woe Farm is just a stone’s throw from Conway in Perry County. It is run by Katie Beaton and Andy Olson, and is home to a flurry of activity, providing Central Arkansas with high quality vegetables and cut flowers. Weal and Woe Farm is dedicated to growing delicious and seasonal food for Arkansans in a manner that is environmentally friendly to the farm and land we call home. We don’t use synthetic chemicals, choosing intensive management and a good dose of hard work to deal with pest and weed pressures. We welcome your feedback and questions and are excited to be a part of the Conway Locally Grown market!

A Note from Barnhill Orchards:
New this week: cabbage & cauliflower, offered individually and in combinations!

We would also like to thank Jerry Markham from Bluebird Hill Berry Farm for giving each customer and volunteer a complimentary dozen eggs on Friday! He brought 66 dozen eggs to say THANKS for your support.

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!
