Far From Over - Far From the Start
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.

Bearing Such Fruits
Tasty veggie chips in many flavors from Nami Chips/Fizzeology Foods The tumultuous turns of the spring and early summer have left many of us guessing just when our favorite summer produce will be arriving.

Early Bird Gets The Berries
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.

The early hour is the time when the steam is still rising off
