Lots more variety comes to the farm in July, with new yummies each week
Blackberries gave us sneak peak at the end of June and will continue some into July. We grow Caddo thornless blackberries. You can learn a little bit about them in this video from the University of Arkansas where the were developed. We find them sweet and juicy. Learn some ways to pair your berries in this class at our Learning Kitchen!
Tomatoes of all kinds - red, purple, orange, yellow, and green. Fill-sized, cherry-sized, and grape sized. If you came to the June 29 Market, you saw the first of the season Bella Rosas. To the right is a picture of some of last year's variety. Come learn about different types of tomato textures and flavors in our tomato tasting classes.
By mid-July, we should have some tasty eggplant.
Mid-to-late July, we will have seedless watermelon and sugar cube cantaloupe. We have some customers who can't get enough of this lope! We agree it is the sweetest we have ever tasted.
I late July, the peppers emerge. We grow a rainbow of sweet and smokey-tasting peppers and a few hot ones. You might enjoy an Aleppo pepper that some describe as a slow-building heat with earthy tones and a fruity tang. I can't handle anything spicier than a jalapeno and I appreciate variations on pepper flavor such as this one. You might also enjoy the sweet smokiness of the Ashe County Pimento Pepper -- yep, one ingredient in pimento cheese that can be used for so much more. If you want to learn more about the rainbow of peppers we grow, then sign up for our salsa class here.
