The sad thing here is that for as much farming that goes on down here, It's all large production (my job). Very few roadside stands,or diversity. Greenbeans, watermelon, squash, tomato, bell peppers and corn. Farmers markets here are pinhooked produce from those farms. At least they let the tomatoes ripen on the vine for some better flavor, instead of being gassed.

"One" of the many reasons I DIY
That's interesting, I harvest usually 3 to 4 to the bunch with 3-4 inches of stem left on. Last year I had a woman give me hell because she would not pay for stems. She could not understand the stem keeps the tomato good longer!
Am I doing this on your behalf, because we just kinda met...
I'd be all over that venison, fill the freezer
Chuckles and winks (pssssst.... grab some venison while your there please)Am I doing this on your behalf, because we just kinda met...
If I make it to Vermont this summer we may get to meet up yet. We'll take the ferry over and you can pick the place. I know I'm probably going to get to Detroit so it's just a matter of whether or not we can get to Vermont and back home between infusion treatments.
Our harvest consists of a 52' flatbed with a bunch of 48" X 48" X 36" bins, and a small army of Mexicans, and see how fast they can fill up the bins with the appropriate sized green tomatoes. Flavor is secondary, shelf life is paramount.
Vermont???
My fingers are crossed, I'm up for a ferry ride across the lake if it saves you time
Yeah. Got a friend that had to move up there since she can't live alone anymore. She's almost 90 and we'd both sure like to see her again. Doubt she'll ever be able to make it down here.
What area?
If I can make it happen we'll be looking for a flight back south where we can turn in the rent car and hop on a plane. I'd like to see the Adirondacks as well as a couple of the Great Lakes. A boat ride across one would be a real treat.
I'd have to look for the name of the place but it's gotta be near the lake.
Which lake? I only ask as I live in VT, rift across the lake from whiskey.
Now that would be a real treat. Unless it's snowing of course.
Theres port kent or Grand Isle (Lake Champlain)
Then that's gotta be close.
LMAO!!! Stolen.
Grand isle ones like 30-40 minutes from it, the port Kent one brings you right into Burlington. It's our biggest city and the summer times the best time to visit since 90% of the college kids are gone
SW Anton?
Swanton! That's about 40 minutes north of me, pretty close to the Canadian border.
Take care!
Hiya Mark!Good evening corner family!
going on 43 for me and mine
Good evening MarkGood evening corner family!
Good evening Jimi
How true that is, It's a sin in my bookWe need them! Farmers struggle, so many food crops have gone across our borders!
