Country View Dairy added a new variety of yogurt – Greek Lemon Custard – at a promotional price of $12.00 for a case of 12 six ounce containers. This variety was a big hit when we sampled it at our Merle Hay Mall site last time. They also eliminated the half cases (to simplify things), and most were buying full cases anyway.

Maxwell Farms has several new veggie offerings: 1) sweet corn (Peaches & Cream bi-color), 2) Patty Pan summer squash, 3) miniature eggplant mix, and 4) red tomatoes (to go along with their bell peppers, potatoes, green beans, and zucchini).

Black Cat Acres added collard greens and Better Boy tomatoes (to go along with their garlic and pickling cucumbers).

From Jocelyn at Pickle Creek Herbal: “This will be the last cycle to purchase our herb seedling varieties (except cilantro and mojito mint; we’ll keep those plants available until the end of August or until they sell out). However, we’re now in the middle of harvesting a few thousand heads of garlic with our homemade garlic harvester (made from recycled parts form some old farm machinery) – so now we have certified organic garlic for sale!”

Lee at The Berry Patch Farm writes “We have greenhouse tomatoes, strawberry hanging baskets, and blueberries”.

Raccoon Forks Farm added two kinds of tomatoes (Big Beef and Wapsi Peach) as well as turnips, okra, fennel, and cucumbers.

From Rick at Yoke S Ranch: “For this cycle hamburger patties will remain on sale at $4.50/package (three patties per package. Short ribs will also be on sale at $4.50/lb (regular price is $5/lb)”.

Holdeman ABF Poultry has a sale on their boneless skinless capon breasts (which are incredible on the grill) at $5.99/lb.

Valley View Poultry and Iowa Heritage Foods are both back this cycle (they are both only doing the first cycle each month).

From Becky at Threshing Floor: “I added to my turnip inventory, and please let everyone know that we are keeping an eye on our Incrdible sweet corn. If it’ll be ready by delivery time, we’ll post it on the weekend”.
