If you see something laid over top of the baskets - it is to keep out the buggies! Take what you need and recover 🙂
Due to a serious family illness, I am closing the online market until further notice. I am now a caregiver and cannot work.
The farmstand will remain open and be stocked as much as possible with tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, eggs, honey, etc. Prior to the transition, I was able to get some fall plantings so we will have fall/winter produce. I will continue baking and place what I can get done in the stand on Friday and weekends. Fig bars, apple bread and pumpkin bread will be coming next week depending on rain.
Prayers appreciated during this time.
Stand has fresh baked Fig Bars today, first batch of Roasted Garlic Basil Tomato Sauce, Fig Jam and more!
Lots of okra, tomatoes, peppers, some squash and a few cantaloupe. Also, honey and garlic. Eggs are limited, but out there too!
772 Old Lathemtown Rd
The market is open for ordering online until Wednesday for Saturday pickup. The farmstand is always open and now has Ellijay apples! Our fees run goes down the road from Penland’s Apple House so we stop by during the fall to bring them back for the stand. Penland’s is a 5th generation farm that grows and sells their apples so it is coming straight from the grower to my stand.
We also have lots of okra, tomatoes, cucumber, peppers and a few cantaloupe.
The stand is stocked again with eggs, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, tons of okra, cucamelon, honey, and canned items.
I will have one more picking of figs for sale. If you’d like a pound or 2 let me know how many and I will have them for you Saturday.
For our egg customers:
For the most part we DO rinse our eggs in a tepid water bath. 1. To rinse away any debris like shavings, dirt or droppings, and 2. To float test them for safety. During rainy days, the hens end up bringing muddy feet into the nesting boxes and it ends up on the eggs. During these time we rinse in warmer water to loosen the debris. When it is dry and they lay in fluffy nesting boxes and the eggs are clear, we may not rinse them so bloom is still in tact.
Now you know!
We had a family emergency this week so the stand will not be restocked until this weekend.
Thanks for your understanding.
So excited to harvest these beauties! Try them with our berry tomatoes in a salad!!
Melothria scabra, commonly known as the cucamelon, Mexican miniature watermelon, Mexican sour cucumber, Mexican sour gherkin, mouse melon, or pepquinos, is a species of flowering plant in the cucurbit family grown for its edible fruit. Its native range spans Mexico to Venezuela
Fresh in the stand are cucamelons, peppers, okra, beans, squash, garlic, and lots of tomatoes! Last week for fresh figs (in the cooler in 2 lb bags). We have honey, herbal teas, coffee, vanilla, and handcrafted soaps.
From the bake shop - Honey Fig Cake, Walnut Fig Bread, Fig Bars, and Lavender Lemon Cookies.
Stop by anytime!

Fungi farmers-
A friend has these mushrooms- chanterelles? Or something to stay away from?
Needed for Friday morning: Farm helper!!
I need someone that can pick figs from our trees. I usually pick every day, but wasn’t able to get them done today. You will need to wear jacket, hat and gloves, climb a step stool into the tree to pick. Then would be rinsing and weighing out into bags.
Let me know if you can help!
$15/hr - may take 3-4 hours total.
Stop by anytime you have a craving for figs! We’ve got them in the stand in a cooler. 1 lb cartons or 2 lb bags.
$7.50/lb
Online market will open later today. Had to run errands so haven’t updated yet
Very interesting!
“When agricultural scientist Bruce French was teaching agriculture in Papua New Guinea, his students had a strong message for him. They were sick of being taught about western plants and wanted to learn more about their native produce.”
Non-profit Food Plant Solutions represents five decades of work by agricultural scientist Bruce French to catalogue more than 31,000 edible plants so children do not have to go hungry.
Did you drop a key this morning at the farmstand??? A single large key was found. Message me if it was you!!
Figs!!!!
They completely took me by surprise this year!!! I kept looking at the ends of the branches because that’s where they ripened first in past years. I spotted one high in the tree this morning and looked further…. There was lots more!!!
Here we go - fig season!!!!
I’ll have some in the stand every day for first come first serve, then you can reserve here. Quantities are smaller now and will increase as yield does.

Weekend Update. This week we’ve had the tomatoes finally come in! There’s a small quantity but they should be steady now. Check out the larger cherry varieties that are great for salads, grilling or sautéed over pasta. There’s Lavender Lemon Cookies, eggs, okra, cucumbers, squash, sweet or hot peppers, tomatillos, and heirloom garlic bulbs. The canned section provides a taste of jams, pickles, and sauces . We have honey, small batch craft vanilla extract and infused sugar, and herbal teas. Also, try the handmade soaps in herbal or unscented. And bring some sunshine inside with a fresh picked flower bouquet!!

Here's Why Media Don't Want You To Know About Huge Global Protests

We’re back at the farm after a few days away to celebrate the 4th. Trying to catch up after being gone, but the stand is stocked with eggs, lots and lots of cucumbers, squash, okra, a few green tomatoes, cherry, and sweet peppers. Between a later than usual start on my seeds, and the heat, my tomatoes are not ready yet. But we will have beautiful varieties once they do come in!
Flower bouquets will also be ready later today.
Love them ‘Maters!!!
“Do this. Get a tomato. Not just any tomato. A Slocomb, Alabama, tomato. Make sure the tomato is firecracker-red and softer than the hindcheeks of a 2-month-old. Find a serrated knife. Cut said tomato into thick slices about the width of the unabridged edition of “Shogun.”
Tomatoes from Geneva County, Alabama, are different from common varieties. They are superior tomatoes.
In fact, top archaeology scholars at Columbia University now believe that the original Garden of Eden was located just north of Highway 52 in Geneva County. And most experts agree that the forbidden fruit consumed by Adam and Eve was originally purchased from the Hendrix Farm Produce tomato stand.
Next, find two slices of Sunbeam bread. In a pinch, you can use Bunny Bread, Wonderbread, or Colonial bread. But stay away from any bread with packaging labels that read something like, “59 whole grains and seeds!” or “3,234 grams of dietary fiber!” This isn’t real bread but an abrasive material meant for sanding boat hulls.
Consequently, if all you have in your pantry is “gluten-free” or “keto” bread, please stop reading here and go back to California.
Once you have your white, floppy, flaccid, tasteless bread ready, open a jar of Duke’s mayonnaise. Duke’s is the brand with the canary-yellow lid, manufactured and packaged by real evangelical seminary graduates so you know it’s sacred, mostly.
If you don’t have any Duke’s, you’re not totally out of luck. Blue Plate mayonnaise will also work nicely. Bama mayonnaise is also a winner.
Hellmann’s, however, isn’t fit for consumption by a golden retriever. Similarly, Miracle Whip is neither a “miracle,” nor a “whip,” but the brainchild of communists sympathizers who don’t love the Lord. And Kraft mayo is industrial doorknob lubricant.
It bears mentioning, if all you have in your refrigerator is a kind of mayonnaise labeled “light” or “low fat” please forfeit your tomato to someone who will use it correctly and resume doing Crossfit until your buttocks turn into tiny shriveled prunes.
Next, use a No. 8 masonry trowel to apply approximately one gallon of approved mayonnaise onto your limp, lifeless, nutrition-free bread. If the bread is still visible after mayonnaise application, you did it wrong.
Step Four. Carefully place slices of tomato onto your prepared bread. If, by chance, your bread has already absorbed too much mayonnaise and tomato juices and is now disintegrating into a papier-mache-like puddle on your kitchen counter, and it no longer resembles bread, congratulations, you’re on the right track.
Salt and pepper to taste.
If you discover that you are tempted to add cheese or onions or lettuce or something else weird to your sandwich, thereby violating the Holy Trinity of tomatoes, mayo and bread, please step away from the cutting board. Take deep breaths, open a can of Natural Light and start sipping until the urge passes.
Next, place both segments of your sandwich together slowly and softly. Warning: Do not compress sandwich. Do not cut sandwich in half. Do not even blink or your sandwich will fall apart.
Now, gently lift your sandwich—very gently—as though you are assisting in a heart transplant operation. Walk across the kitchen and stand over the sink. Say grace silently.
Go ahead, we’ll wait.
To eat sandwich, open mouth wide, place one corner into mouth and bite firmly. Your tomato wedges should slip from between the pieces of bread, shooting forward, falling directly into your sink, leaving you with two naked pieces of bread. If this does not happen you did not use enough mayonnaise.
Retrieve tomato hunks from the basin of your nasty, crud-covered, salmonella-encrusted sink while cussing liberally.
Replace mangled remains of tomato onto sandwich and attempt to eat sandwich a second time, making sure to mash your soggy, glutenous, snot-like bread pieces together until they are indistinguishable from lumps of Elmer’s Glue.
After the third or fourth bite, the front of your shirt should be stained red, covered in tiny seeds and your kitchen should look like a hog killing has recently been performed on the linoleum.
When your sandwich expenditure is finished, you can slap yourself heartily on the shoulder because you have just eaten a proper tomato sandwich. You may now recite the ceremonial benediction uttered by Alabamians statewide every summer:
“Thank you, Lord, for bananas,
“Granny Smiths and Tropicana,
“But most of all, for all the ‘maters,
“Raised in Slocomb, Alabama.”
Amen.”
If you ask me….

Just picked a basket of the cue ball zucchini again! Not sure what to do with them? Try stuffing and baking them for dinner tonight!
Sun-dried tomatoes lend depth, and a few Kalamata olives pack their usual punch, but the peppery taste of basil makes these rice-stuffed zucchini special.
Stop on your way home for some grilling squash, a few “muncher” cucumbers, wild blackberries, or some goodies for your morning coffee or tea (check out our teas too!).
