The Farmer’s Market
19 Nov 2010 Leave a comment
Today was the final regularly-scheduled market of 2010. We had a total of seven vendors and everyone did really well with the holidays fast approaching. I took soap, sweet potatoes and sourwood honey and brought home cabbage and a ghost pepper which I plan to dry for pepper flakes. It’s the hottest pepper on earth with a million scoville units. We have a ghost pepper plant in the greenhouse but it got a very late start and just now has blossoms. We’ll overwinter it and hope for our own ghost peppers next year. I plan to return to the market next April with asparagus and whatever else we decide to grow for the Spring. The market is a lovely weekly social event. If anyone is interested in purchasing soap, just leave a comment with your contact information and I’ll be in touch.
