Woodlands Farmers Market

May 2, 2008 Beth

We are in our 4th week of the Woodlands Farmers Market. Come by and see us on Saturdays between 8 am and Noon. It is located in the  Grogan’s Mill shopping center in the Woodlands. We have a lot of fun meeting new people and selling quality veggies. There are about 14 vendors usually there with 3-4 selling produce. There are  folks selling Orchids, Soap, Jewelry, Dog Treats and several items.

We would like to thank Mike Atkinson for the tour of his great farm. Mike’s farm is Atkinson Farms on Spring Cypress in Spring. He grows commercially for Grocers and Markets. He has his own fruit and vegatable stand on his farm open to the public . Mike grows all his veggies the conventional way.

We were able to get some great ideas on planting and irrigation that we can use on our farm that do not require commercial fertilizers or pesticides. We learned a lot about the different pests we are facing and have been able to research organic means to control them. 

 

CSA is going well, we are going into the 6th week. We have heard some great comments on the quality of the veggies in the basket. We will soon have tomatoes, cucumber, beans, okra, corn and lot of other new veggies for the market and the CSA baskets. Fruit coming blackberries, blueberries and maybe some peaches or plums.

Hope to see you at the market!
