Fall Harvest Festival and Craft Fair

For those who signed up for the Pumpkin and Zucchini contests, this is the day of measurement! We also have a few spots left for vendors. Please call the nursery if you would like to have a table for your craft.

Tool News!

Bill says, "If you need it, you can find it now! Our new reorganized tool shed is pretty spiffy! From shovels to sickles to scythes. Watch for the stickers we are using to identify our American-made tools."

Pressing on...September 28, 2013

Come spend a relaxing Sunday afternoon in the nursery and learn from Farmer Bill how to press olives and make olive oil. Don't have an olive tree? You can purchase one from us after class! Olive trees are beautiful, drought tolerant (once established), and live for a very, very long time. This class is free, requires no RSVP, and will be held Sunday, September 29, from 3:00 - 4:30.

Our annual Rose sale will be October 5th - 19th. Buy 1 get 1 free (of equal or lesser value).

For the following, please remember to call for availability.

We have plenty of Dig 'em Ups!

• cool crop veggies: $2.19 each

Shallots are in! 69 cents each:

Customers have been asking for Anna Apples. Many apologies, but we are sold out of Annas at this time. We do have some Pettingill apples, which are very similar to the Annas, having a good flavor with a low winter chilling requirement.

We still have plenty of other fruit trees available in the nursery for sale, so please stop by and check them out!

You don't need a herd of livestock to put one of these to use...September 24, 2013

Many thanks to those who attended our Raising Chickens for Friends and Food class. This Sunday, September 29 at 3:00 come and learn to make olive oil! Bill is so excited about his newest purchase!

Now just because you might not have any livestock to gather round one of these, don't think you can't put it to use. Think pond. Think raised garden bed. Maybe an aquaponics fish tank. These are built to last for a long, long time. Don't forget, we offer great soils in bulk or bag to fill your new raised garden trough...bed!

It's planting season! Come by for some Dig 'em Up's: $2.19 each for a variety of vegetables and $3.19 for Dig 'em Up herbs. We will have a new batch of 4" herbs coming in this week. Please call for availability.

Coming up in October: Rose sale, Pumpkin and Zucchini Growing Contests, Craft Fair!
