Shoua Vang brings us fresh and crispy beans We crested the seasonal hill this Saturday with the passage of the fifteenth market of the 2017 season. Halfway we sit, indulging in the glut of summer's harvest, perched atop a peak of ripeness. It's a long road down the second half the market season, filled with good food, beautiful flowers and no shortage of good times to be had.

Always something good to be found at Jordandal Farms! There is something special in the air when the market first "opens its doors" each week. Maybe it's the smell of the fresh herbs from Ka Vang Thao, with the aroma of fresh dill spreading out in all directions. Or it's seeing all the bouquets of flowers from Country Bloomers Greenhouse before they're sold and leave the market to bring beauty to a new home.
