| Greetings Everyone; I know it is late in the day and
really this e-mail should have gone out yesterday, however, I would like
to press the fact that Lafayette's Hub City Farmers Market is tomorrow
Saturday from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. It is also
Lafayette's Hub City Farmers Market' Grand Opening. There will be
music, crafts, soap and of course lots of organically raised produce. It
is also Father's Day weekend and Market Basket Youngsville will be
running some very special deals, giving people a great opportunity to
take advantage of heavily producing organic plants. Great time for
canning or freezing. Either at the market
Saturday or at the farm through out next week, thru Friday... Buy 5 lbs of any vegetable at
the regular price, most at $2.00 lb, get an extra pound free. MIX N MATCH SPECIAL: Purchase $20.00 of any
combination of herbs, vegetables, get 3 lbs free (except herbs). As usual, we have some hybrid
organic tomatoes and open pollinated organic corn, but everthing else is
ALWAYS HEIRLOOM, ALWAYS ORGANIC. Thank you
and have a great weekend. Sincerely, Charles
M. Thompson III, CCC Karen DeShazo |  |
What's Fresh on the Farm | |
Sunday, June 13, 2010 11:15 AM | |
Good morning, Lafayette's Hub City Farmers Market was a great
success yesterday, a great crowd and nice selection of products. We sold
just under 90 lbs of tomatoes alone. MarketBasketYoungsville is restocking today with
among other things, a wonderful selection of tomatoes; some ripe ready
to eat, some a little greener that have never been refrigerated yet so
will ripen throughout the week on your window sill. We also have some
heirlooms beginning to ripen. Sunday special: Buy 5 Lbs tomatoes or any other
vegetable at $2.00/lb, get another lb free. 6 lbs for $10.00. Complete selection of
other veggies include cucumbers and eggplant that I will guarantee to
be the best tasting available, herbs, cayenne and jalapenos. The Golden
Zucchini and White Patty Pan Squash are a little sweeter than the Green
Zucchini, and the Yellow Crookneck can be cut and used in salads. Not
shown are things like fresh basil and thyme and rosemary. Two complimentary
packs herbs with any purchase. These vegetables are all being washed in our new
washing/processing room and are clean ready to use. We struggled until
recently, as our old setup had become woefully inadequate and our new
equipment was almost six weeks late in delivery. Not so anymore. Some of the tomatoes
are Celebrity and BetterBoy, but everything else is... ALWAYS
HEIRLOOM, ALWAYS ORGANICALLY RAISED, and of course we stand behind and guarantee every
product we sell. We
appreciate your consideration as THE place to buy the best tasting,
local produce available, without the chemicals. Charles M. Thompson III |  |
