Seedlings Round 3 SEEDLING SALE ROUND 3: EARLY JUNE Stay tuned for even more varieties! GORANSON FARM SEEDLING AVAILABILITY: ROUND 3 These are the plants we have ready for sale for you in the coming two weeks. We’ll update this list throughout the season to include many more types of plants and varieties. This list is intended to help you plan your gardens, as well as to help you shop more efficiently and safely. You don’t have to do anything with it—it’s just to help you know what we’ll have ahead of time. Circle anything you’re interested in and bring it back with you if you like. Do yourself a favor and look up any varieties you’d like to know more about before coming to market. We choose all our varieties based on 35+ years of successful organic growing, and the varieties we sell to you are the same varieties we plant in our own fields. We are happy to answer any questions you have at market. Due to the high volume of messages and our need to be working long days, we are unable to field individual questions about plants by email or on our social media channels. We can’t tell you what your favorites will be or what will do best in your particular garden. The best way to answer those questions is to experiment! PRICING Our plants are sold in individual pots, or in packs of 4 or 6. Not all plants come in packs, like rosemary, and not all plants come in individual pots, like beet greens. Availability will vary by week. If you want to know what else will be available later in the season, just ask us in person or simply stay tuned. Prices on our pots and packs range from $3-$6, depending on the type. PAYMENT Did you know that you can use your SNAP or CSA account to buy plants, too? We accept all forms of payment at our farmers’ markets. We prefer cash, check, or CSA, and can accept all cards and Apple Pay. Looking for a discount?

On a trip to this area in 1894 my Great Great Grandfather purchased some apples from a local grower. Remembering them to be extremely tasteful, he returned the following year, purchased the farmers land and started his first orchard. “I worked side by side with my father learning everything he had to offer. My father passed away in 2006 and mother retired in 2009 making me the 5th generation of Small’s to run the orchard. It wasn’t as easy as my parents made it look but my wife Renee and I keep learning everyday how to provide our customers with the same quality that the generations before me have given. Our son Trevor joined us in 2009 and the legacy and learning continues.” -Jim Small Adapted from: http://www.smallsfruitfarm.com/aboutus.html FEATURED PRODUCE RED KURI SQUASH Red Kuri squash is a teardrop-shaped winter squash with a distinctive orange skin. It shape is similar to a hubbard squash, but it’s much more manageable in size. Its skin is hard but thin, and is edible once cooked. Red Kuri has creamy yellow flesh, with a smooth texture and taste similar to cooked chestnuts.

  • FM Squash Handout Nov. 2016
    Guide to Market - Fresh Winter Squash 1.Green Kabocha Squash - The squat, round-shaped Japanese squash has a rough, dark-green skin that’s sometimes mottled with orange or faint white stripes. It’s starchy yellow-orange flesh has a pleasant sweet potato-like flavour with a soft honey sweetness. Use: drier and denser than most squash, the kabocha holds it shape when cooked in liquid, making it a great choice for adding to stews and braises. Its flavour marries well with Asian ingredients like soy sauce, ginger and sesame oil. Try adding peeled, diced kabocha to a coconut milk based Thai curry or a vegetarian chili. 2. Butternut Squash - The slim neck and bulbous bottom give the butternut squash its distinctive bell shape. With it’s sweet, creamy, dark-orange flesh and smooth, easy-to-peel skin, the butternut is one of the most versatile of the winter squash. For easier handling cut the narrow portion from the body and work with each section separately. Use: takes well to many cooking methods - delicious when roasted. The rich flesh and sweetness of the butternut makes it ideal for soups, risotto, purées, gnocchi and ravioli or in any recipe where the smooth texture and sweetness will be highlighted. It pairs perfectly with a range of flavours including orange, lemon, balsamic vinegar, sharp cheeses, robust herbs, bold spices, and smoky bacon. 3. Red Kabocha Squash – Squat, like its green counterpart, has faint white stripes running from top to bottom. The main differences between the red kabocha and the green variety are the colour and taste.
