Thoughts from the T-Shirt Lady

We finally sold out of all our summer produce. What a downer. I really enjoyed meeting people and chatting, and providing them with quality produce. We have all started going through sweet corn withdrawal

We still have tomatoes - but not enough to sell to a lot of customers. I have a couple of older gentlemen who come by about once a week, and just buy tomatoes - so I told them to come on Mondays and I would sell them what I have. That will probably only last a few more weeks.

We have started selling our free range eggs - they are still on the small side, but oh so good. Those we will sell on a regular basis from now on.

Fall produce will hopefully be ready later this month, and into October through December. We will be selling green beans, collards, turnips, kale and hanover salad. We may have pumpkins, though I’m not sure - they seem to have grown too quickly, and will certainly be ready way before Halloween! Though most of our customers said they wanted to use them for fall decorations in their yards. The pumpkins certainly won’t last too long - they will start to rot.

From what we understand, the greens are purchased with the idea of freezing them, so they are available through the holidays. Well, if we continue to sell them through the holidays, I hope we have repeat customers.

It feels really strange not going out to greet customers, or sit under the tent and wait for them to drive in the driveway. But my time has not been wasted. I have been working on my business and website, and getting a lot done. Oh, and I even went to the fabric store the other day - first excursion I’ve taken since we started the produce stand the beginning of June!
