A Warm Welcome to the Farmstand

 

This past weekend, with gorgeously sunny weather, we celebrated the Farmstand at Oakville Grocery's first month in business! We are thrilled with how things are going so far and I am excited to begin sharing our happenings with you.

Visitors from all over the world have given us a warm reception. This weekend alone I chatted with customers from places as diverse as France, Brazil, New York, Colorado, San Francisco, and just-across-the-street.

It is fun to share folks' enthusiasm over the simple pleasures of fresh, organic produce. The ripe-red strawberries have been enormously popular, as have the citrus, especially the sweet-tangy blood oranges and the minneola tangelos. But the biggest hit so far has been our thirst-quenching, fresh-squeezed lemonade. We sweetened the latest batch with a little tangerine juice and oh boy was it good. Every week our selection will change slightly to include the best of the season, but I think the lemonade is here to stay!

Next up: the beginnings of our Mount Veeder Farm!
