I visited a new local food source, Birky Farms. I picked up some pork products (their specialty), some Yoder Popcorn, some Essenhaus noodles, and a few other local products.
Today’s preservation activities: simmering sweet and tart cherries to freeze.
Today’s harvest: The first Juane Flame tomato. the first squash of the season, a golden zucchini, a couple dozen beans, four very tasty sweet 100 tomatoes, a handful of basil, and an armful of mint that was out of control. There was also one strawberry and one potato that I found while weeding the potato patch. Everything but the potato are from container grown plants. The first coosa squash and first pumpkins can be found on the vines.
These photos of the tomato and squash are from a few days ago.
