FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE

You will learn the beginner basics of water bath home canning. If you’ve never canned before or it’s been forever and you’d like a refresher course, this class is for you. If you’ve got a garden going, save up your fresh veggies for a few days before the class. Let’s see what we can create and can up from your garden bounty!
This water bath method is the easiest way to get started learning how to can at home. You’ll learn what equipment you need, how to use them properly and safely, how to make successful simple recipes, and how to provide tasty, fresh, homemade jars of goodies for your friends and family. CLASS SIZE IS STRICTLY LIMITED to 6 students at a time.
What you’ll need: a case of brand new pint jars with lids and rings still in their new packaging. A couple of grocery store sacks of fresh produce, a recipe you want to try, and the seasonings/spices/salts/etc needed for your recipe. We will discuss this in detail before class begins. You will be taking home your creations plus we can all taste and swap our goodies together! $30 per person class fee, must be prepaid. Minimum age of 12 and up.

Purple Hull Peas Are Sold Out

This purple hull pea field is sold out. I will not be able to take any more orders for bushels at this time. I will continue to have some more shelled peas available bagged in 1# increments for $6 each. I do have another patch of purple hull peas planted. Depending on the weather we could start seeing them come in around the end of August through mid-September. Keep watching my page for updates.

The next patch of speckled purple hull peas will be coming in soon. They will be $40 a bushel. You can reserve your bushel by sending me a message with your email address so I can invoice you. Please pay your invoice within 24 hours to secure your order.

The next patch of sweet corn is about to come in and there is a chance for ONE FINAL FIELD corn patch to come in within the next week or so. This will definitely be the last FIELD corn for this year, IF it comes in and doesn’t get hard due to excessive heat. Please message me with your email address so I can invoice you to hold your order. If the field corn turns too fast, I will refund your pre-paid invoice. (Minimum 24 ears- no maximum limit) .50 per ear

Okra is doing well in this heat but other veggies are struggling. We are a few weeks away from butter beans and zipper cream crowder peas. Another month away from butter peas and other pea varieties. Keep watching my page for updates. You will be able to prepay for each of these crops as they get closer to being picked.

The long-awaited NON-GMO SWEET CORN is starting to produce silks. It will be available in about a week. Please message me for your pre-paid orders (minimum 24 ears, max 100 ears). Pay your invoice within 24 hours to hold your place in the list .50 per ear.

Bagging Up Peas

We are sorting and bagging yalls purple hull peas. Hoping to have most orders filled for pick up tomorrow. Watch my page for updates and pick up instructions!

We are trying to make sure your peas aren’t full of these nasty tomato horn worms, super dried out peas or too many string beans skinny peas. 👍

Purple Hull Peas Are Coming!

💥💥EDIT💥💥

As of 2:30 pm Sunday 7/24, we have received a ton of purple hull unshelled bushel prepay orders that I would like to get taken care of in the order they all paid before I accept anymore prepay orders. I want to be careful not to over sell this purple hull field and risk disappointing too many folks. Let me get everyone whom has already paid their invoices taken care of and I’ll post again if I can reopen prepay invoicing on this field. Thank y’all so much!

We are starting to pick purple hull peas by the acre tomorrow morning. I will have bushels of peas available FOR A VERY SHORT WINDOW OF TIME. If they don’t sell within 3 days of being picked I MUST shell them and freeze them before they go bad.

The price is $36 per bushel

Once shelled and bagged into 1 pound increments, they are $6 each.

I am taking prepaid orders as of right now. Please send me a message including your email address so I can invoice you. By Wednesday, all harvested bushels that have not sold will have to shelled.

The next FIELD CORN patch is ready now. If you want some please message me with your email address so I can invoice you. I will be picking field corn for PREPAID customers only-this time. This field corn picking will be over by Tuesday.

We will have an upcoming patch of sweet corn and old fashioned speckled purple hull peas coming in within the next week. You can place an order for these as well and prepay to ensure you get yours.

Beef Customer Update

If you have an order placed at this time, we are taking the beef to the butcher by end of this week. After the beef has been aged and processed, I’ll be letting y’all know to come pick up your order. Please have your freezer space and remainder due within the next 10-14 days. If you need us to hold it a bit longer for you, that’s fine. Just let us know… tasty beef is headed your way soon!

Field Corn Today!!

New field is being picked this morning. Please wait until 11am to come get it so we have time to get it all in and counted out.

I have sweet corn, tomatoes, squash, cukes, peas, grapes, peaches, okra, apples, zucchini, blackberries, turnips, almonds, walnuts, peanuts, garden seeds, eggs, goat milk soap, dried herbs, candy, animal feed, hay, straw and more!
