Welcome to this week’s “In the Market” update! 🌿✨
🌽 The first Esau sweet corn of the season is here! We’ll have a limited amount of pre-shucked corn available when the market opens Thursday morning. Then, late Thursday afternoon, we expect a larger delivery including both bags of corn and fresh ears. If you've been waiting on local sweet corn season, it's finally here!
🍑 Peaches have been a challenge this year. The Arkansas crop was largely impacted by the March 27 freeze, and while the South Carolina peaches we carried last week were delicious, they simply didn’t hold up through the weekend. We’re hoping to receive some Georgia peaches this week, but that is still uncertain.
🍉 We’ll also have a fresh load of seedless Black Diamond watermelons when we open. And yes, they’re seedless. No, they’re not GMO. Sometimes nature and plant breeding get confused with genetic modification, but these watermelons are the real deal.
🥛 Speaking of things people have opinions about, RAW milk has been getting plenty of attention lately. We believe everyone should have the freedom to make informed decisions about the foods they choose to consume. We carry tested RAW milk from Wilson Ranch and are happy to provide it for customers who want it. At the end of the day, do what works best for you and respect others doing the same.
