Market Information:
King Farms
Heirloom Tomatoes are coming out nicely and harvest of 99% of all 43 varieties is underway. I know I said 35 varieties last week, but the Kings told me last week they had upped the planting. Reggae Radishes are looking great and will be available til mid December. These mildly spicy red gems are a great addition to any salad. Cilantro is coming out great and is in good supply. The smell of fresh-cut cilantro is intoxicating; and priced to meet current market value. If you use cilantro, you should give these a try. Red, Yellow and White stemmed Swiss Chard is available and in good supply. The color of these are amazing due to the freshness available to you. Turnip Greens are available and taste great. Supply is good. Red Chinese Noodle Beans are now available in good supply. Asian Mosaic Beans are now available. Supply is good. Purple and Green Podded Pole beans are now available. The first Multi-colored Carrots will be available this week. This does include the Deep Purple variety (this is the variety that is purple throughout the carrot). Red Leave Lettuce looks and taste great! I had it last night and King Farms has another beauty on their hands!

Watercress Farms
Red and Green Watercress are available in good supply. We thank you for the orders we received before you actually saw these. I heard over and over again the comment “I have never seen Watercress so fresh”. As a surprise, Watercress Farms offered baby arugula last week that some of you took advantage of. David and/or Guy will let me know each week when they can do this. Drop me a note if you would like me to call you with what is available. Remember, this call will be before 9am so make sure you’re ready for the call.
