Market has a NEW HOME on the WEB!

After careful consideration and other impacting situations, the market information has been moved to the Washington County Extension website. This site will remain active during the 2013 season to re-direct viewers, like you, to the new site.

Don't Forget Mom this Weekend

Wouldn't Mom love a living gift this year?  A hanging flower basket or pot is a great idea to brighten up her porch or patio for summer.  If she enjoys picking her own fresh vegetables, how about bringing her an assortment of veggie plants? (You could even plant them for her!) Stop by the Farmer's Market on Saturday morning and we will help you pick out the perfect "green" gift for Mother's Day.

David Ybarra and Lora Bridges of Forshana Farm will be there with these plants: tomato, pepper, strawberry, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, okra, zucchini, yellow squash, pickling and slicing cucumbers, mint, lavender and thyme.  They will also have hanging baskets for sun or shade, petunia pots, and strawberry pots. For fresh produce, there will be a limited amount of radishes, green onions, and turnip greens.

Ann and Ruben Castaneda of Todd Farm will also be there with their beautiful hanging flower baskets. They will also have an assortment of tomato plants and other vegetable plants.

Hanging flower baskets, tomato plants, and a wide variety of herb and veggie plants will be available.
