Funny Farm of Grant
Hello Sweetwater fans! Between the groundhog that keeps
getting in to the weird weather that killed all the Napa cabbage,
there’s no way to predict what will be available for the remainder of
the season. Fortunately it looks like the winter squash is doing well so
far. Most of the “summer” stuff is about done here. We will
probably dig the rest of the potatoes this week and then that’s probably
all for the year. The peppers are finally turning color so that’s good
news. So here’s what I figure will be ready this week. If you’d like to
reserve something, please text me at 734 945 0720 and I will let you
know. Thank you so much for all your support this summer!
Potatoes, Red and white
Cabbage, big ones and small ones
Kohlrabi, softball sized
Peppers, green by orders only, red ones as they ripen
Blackberries, slowing down, limited availability
Scallions or green onions
Shallots
Onions, white, red and yellow
Garlic
Tomatoes, asst cherry, orange and red, and big ones of all sizes
Low sugar jelly in many flavors, all from our farm. Blackberry,
Elderberry/blackberry, Apple, Kiwi, Kiwi/crabapple, Wild grape, and
Blueberry from a source that I’ve used for 20+ years.
Thanks again!

Crow’s Nest is back with GARLIC!
Every year we are so happy to participate in the market from the vendors side of the booth and provide high quality, long lasting garlic for your table 🙂
This week we are offering:
Uzbek Turban : small but mighty! This early-maturing variety packs an incredible punch, so a little goes a long way! Adds a real garlicky kick to any dish. Not for long-term storage.
Music :the workhorse Porcelain garlic with large cloves and classic flavor… perfect for roasting! This variety will keep for months with proper storage. More varieties will be available in the future!
If you want to preorder (not necessary) email me at carolyn.a.harper@gmail.com
See you Saturday 🙂
