Inspecting the cornfield this morning, we came across one very happy little bee! Watch until you see the close-up and you can see him stuff the corn pollen in his little yellow pollen sacks on his belly!

REMINDER FOR CANNING AND SALSA TOMATO ORDERS:

🍅 All orders must be placed at the stand, in person, 24 hours in advance of pickup. We know this may be backward in this digital age but we’ve been burned one too many times by people placing large orders online and not picking them up.

🍅 These tomatoes are very ripe to ensure the best possible taste and should be processed within a day of pickup.

🍅 They are “scratch and dent “ seconds, or tomatoes just a little too ripe for the stand.

🍅 They are sold by the pound at $1 per pound. A bushel is roughly equivalent to 56 pounds for reference. We always throw in a few extra pounds just in case.

🍅 We try to keep some at the stand, but not a lot due to the heat. So always ask if any are available. Pro tip - if you’re making salsa, choose the medium to smaller sizes as they have little to no core and are easier and faster to use.

Another glorious cool morning! Perfect for picking corn! We are open today with loads of homegrown tomatoes and we’re out picking our sweet bicolor corm this morning! Hope to see everyone later today!

We will be open today from 10am-5pm at our usual location on US 42 between Florence and Union across from Sonic. Look for our big sign and tents on the side of the road. There is a map on our page or find us on Google Maps for our exact location. We are on the side of the road on a gravel road between 8702 and 8726 US 42. Please do not pull into either of those residential driveways. Please approach slowly and pull in very carefully. There is ample parking in the rear of the stand. We accept both cards and cash.

As all you tomato lovers know, we only sell what we grow right here on our own farm. Kentucky dirt, Kentucky water, Kentucky sunshine and Kentucky pollinators! So come and see us, you won't be disappointed!

Good morning this beautiful Friday, July 24th! Good news as well, we will have corn at the Stand this weekend, starting today and continuing to tomorrow, Saturday. We have a nice first field and we have four fields after this coming in so we’ll have a lot of corn if you don’t make it this weekend. It is $10 for a farmers dozen, and we have a stand sale limit of three dozen per customer to make sure that everybody gets some during the day. If you want a larger order picked, you should come to the stand and place that order which would be filled within the next couple of weeks when the next field comes in. 

The corn is a very sweet bi color variety called Sweet Obsession, the same variety that we have sold over the past seven or eight years and it is really delicious! 

Of course, we will have our full compliment of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, collards, zucchini, and squash.

It’s Wishlist Wednesday, friends! This time of year we welcome so many cats and kittens into our shelter, and with all those tiny paws comes a huge need for cat litter. If you’re able to help, we would be so grateful for donations to keep our feline residents comfortable and cared for. We’ll drop a link in the comments where you can purchase litter and have it shipped directly to the shelter. Thank you for supporting our cats and kittens—your kindness truly makes all the difference!

**Or pick some up and come by to visit! 😻**
