"Waterfall weekend"

I am officially nicknaming this weekend "waterfall weekend", as we have waterfalls of stone fruit, mangoes, corn, tomatoes, plums, melons, etc. all throughout the stall. With blueberries done and no cherries until later in the afternoon, we had a pretty smooth ride today.
First weekend of Bartlett pears: People have been looking for them for weeks. I always say to the first person who asks about something: "Well, usually I start getting questions about things about 3 weeks before it's ready, so based on that I would say we will have that item in 3 weeks". Pears were no different!


This nectarine is a handful, and make my eyes water with bliss as I devoured it. They were rock hard when they arrived and are beginning to ripen under the lights today. I started sampling them once I found ripe ones and sold them by the case!

Sunrise Apples, the crowd pleasers! Followed by Tydemans, which I have nothing good to say about. At least you know if I say something is good, it must be, because I can't lie!
Re-dicilous mangoes!





I don't know what it is about prune plums, but they seem to be pretty special. People go nuts for them and seem to have a twinge of "plum snobbiness"... (like "peach snobbiness", only about prune plums.)

Millarville fair

Joanna and I started calling it "Millaaaargh-ville" some time ago, and now every time I say Millarville I have to catch myself so that regular people don't think I'm crazy.
This weekend was the fair, so we were moved beside the grandstand, which worked out as we were right beside the action and drew a lot of people who might not otherwise stop for organic fruit. Peaches sold out due to Art's mad "fruit pusher" skills!

Setting up at 6:30 am, we could see our breath!

Patchwork Plums

Lots of beautiful stuff this weekend, including some really special heirloom tomatoes and four different kinds of plums!


The mangoes are unreal, lots of comments like "Those can't be organic"... As though all organic fruit has to be small and scrappy-looking.

Sunrise Apples were the stock-of-the-weekend, in that we stocked them every 5 minutes all weekend!
I ate one of the long tomatoes, which was kind of like eating a banana, but it was a tomato, and therefore messed with my head a little. But it was delicious!
