Harvest and eggs are slowing in this oppressive heat. We will NOT be at Azle market this weekend. Instead I will be hand delivering orders to Terlingua on Saturday. Pm me or comment so I know who wants some fresh veggies!

See ya tomorrow morning at Saginaw Farmers Market! Only 2 dozen eggs available this week, but loads of fresh veggies to fuel your week.

Todays harvest wouldn't even fit on one counter!

Come see us this weekend at Saginaw Farmers Market!

We even have Malabar spinach (no need to wish for safe lettuce with a bag of this!) Eggs will sell out fast, and its gonna be HOT so shop early.

We will NOT be at the Azle market this weekend. Please PM me to place orders for pick up bags, eggs, and more!

You've probably seen the news about the recent Cyclospora outbreak in Texas. So what is it, and why does it happen? We had A LOT of questions about this at last week's market.

Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that can contaminate fresh produce. People become sick when they eat fruits or vegetables that have been exposed to contaminated water or poor sanitation during growing, harvesting, or processing. Unlike many other foodborne illnesses, Cyclospora needs time outside the human body before it becomes infectious, meaning it almost always points to contamination somewhere in the production chain—not from someone simply handling your food.

This is one reason why a small home garden has a much lower risk. When you grow your own produce, or purchase from a small grower- you know exactly where your irrigation water comes from, what fertilizers were used, and who handled your fruits and vegetables from seed to harvest. There are far fewer opportunities for contamination than in large commercial operations where produce may pass through many hands and travel hundreds or even thousands of miles before reaching your plate.

Of course, good gardening practices still matter. Wash your harvest, use clean water for irrigation, compost safely, and keep pets and wildlife away from edible plants whenever possible. We make every effort to protect our produce not only because we sell it, we eat it it too!

Growing your own food isn't just rewarding—it's one more way to have confidence in what's on your family's table. 🌱🥕🍅

Come see us this weekend Saginaw Farmers Market and stock up! We have plenty of everything. *the eggs sell out FAST so get there early*

These melons will not hold until the market this weekend! They are ripe, juicy and ready eat immediately. PM me to arrange a meet up $10 or $20 bags available. I will be in Decatur on Wednesday morning, or can meet in Boyd any afternoon this week.

This mornings harvest took 2 people a full 2 hours to get out of the garden. This is the most hauled inside at a single harvest so far this season.
