Last Week at Green Spring Station Farmers' Market

We have made the difficult decision to close up our farm early (last market is September 3rd). As many of you know, it has been a very trying year. The relentless heat took a toll on our crops...and us. Stinkbugs took a bite (no, many, many bites!) out of our tomatoes, and they're working on everything that is left. Despite several preventive measures, deer have chomped off every okra and sunflower that survived the heat wave.

Over the winter, we'll assess our business model to determine if, and in what form, we can continue.
