Gooseberries & Currants

Gooseberries and currants (Ribes) are now ripening.  For the past week we had Jonkherr van Tets & Red Lake red currants and now the berry fun will really begin.  Look for Ribes at the Tuesday & Saturday IFM.  We are negotiating with Green Star to sell gooseberries and currants but so far we are unsatisfied with their mark-up on the fruit price.

The Daring Drake Farm Produce Stand on County Road 138 is now open for business.  All fruit and vegetables sold at the stand are grown by us unless otherwise noted.  We have asked other local, organic growers whose agricultural practices we respect to help stock the stand.  All produce will be noted as to farm origin.  We will not sell produce that we picked up at the docks – fruit and vegetables picked before being ripe and shipped a distance before reaching our area.  Support local farmers, buy local food!
