The grand opening of the Owl Barn Market went over very well last weekend as many of you have wanted to take a look inside of the barn.
Seiberling's sweet corn has been a big hit as we are able to have fresh stock everyday.
Early tomatoes have been difficult though as prices at some of the Amish auctions have run quite high.
Just this morning I Gagged in disbelief when 4 ten pound boxes of tomatoes sold for $25 each!
For the best southern Ohio tomatoes, prices started out at $15 per peck which is about 10 pounds and sometimes moved up to $17-18.00.
You would think tomatoes to be in the league of steak as far as prices go.
We were fortunate though to find another source of quality tomatoes from Ohio at a much better price.
Since our emphasis is on local, we want to be careful to only have some "imports" that are "must haves" to round out our line of fresh produce.
The other news I received was that the nursery that grows the patented Bloomerang Lilac is delivering sometime this week!
I'll believe that when I see them here!
If you haven't been able to come to the market yet, take a look at some of the online photos on the market section from our website.
Happy gardening,
Tom
