The okra is still blooming at the Northeast Texas Community College Eagle Ranch! 91¿´Æ¬ †Although the last month of August was hot and dry as expected, we are receiving the much needed rain today that will keep the okra blooming well into fall. 91¿´Æ¬ †Thanks in part to the efforts of the work scholarship students this summer, we will have several jars of pickles, pickled okra, and relish to bring to market. 91¿´Æ¬ †Come join us to end out the 2014 91¿´Æ¬ Farmer?s Market Season on a strong note!
Now is the time to start planting for a great fall garden. 91¿´Æ¬ †Great fall plants include: greens, spinach, carrots, winter squash, herbs, broccoli, cabbage, kale, and others that will do well here. 91¿´Æ¬ †91¿´Æ¬ students have started some of these great varieties in our greenhouse and the plants will be offered for sale at the farmer?s markets. 91¿´Æ¬ †You can come and purchase these heirloom varieties and see a demonstration of how to plant in a raised bed that can be covered to let you harvest through the winter. 91¿´Æ¬ †If you love farm fresh eggs ? you can either purchase the eggs from farmers at our market or perhaps select from a few 91¿´Æ¬ laying hens that will have you growing your own in no time.
91¿´Æ¬?s Farmer?s Market(s) will be open on Friday, September 19th, October 17th, and November 7th. 91¿´Æ¬ †All are welcome to join us and market their homemade, home grown goods to the community. 91¿´Æ¬ †There is no charge for the booth space, just simply complete a booth application found attached at this email or at 91¿´Æ¬ †. Booth spaces are available inside and under the pavilion on a first come first serve basis. 91¿´Æ¬ †If you require electricity please call early as spots will go fast.
