Well we had our first lite frost of the season on Tuesday morning, good news is that it was only in a few places and it did not burn too much of our frost sensitive varieties! Brussel Sprouts are coming along well and I hope to be able to offer them in the next week or so! I posted a picture of them because a lot of people have never seen them growing on the stalks! We also just picked up some fingerling sweet potatoes from north Mississippi. The farmers up there call the small sweet pots "deer food" because it is usually what is left behind after harvest and the deer absolutely love them.....and so do we!! I hope everyone is enjoying there fall veggies!

The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers.
