good news update June 29

 Yep, it is good news when you have the "Summer Sweet" corn to eat with any meal or try roasting some on a grill or fire. I am very fond of this variety of sweet corn. The company that bred and developed the Summer Sweet series went a different direction than most corn breeders have in the past decades. They put more emphasis on plant health and seed vigor rather than genetically modifying for insect and herbicide resistance. The results are a strong fast growing plant that lets all the energy, flavor and sweetness get to the kernels themselves. They did a fantastic job of getting the basics right. It shows in the corn you eat!

 Our tomatoes are slowly working their way in along with the cantaloupes and melons. eggplant and peppers are not far behind.

  Blueberry picking ( PYO) will open Thursday and Saturday mornings.

FYI everything we plant is non GMO and when buy produce we try to get non GMO if possible.

The field will be open Tuesday at 7:30 am to 11 am. We will see about Wednesday but Saturday is certain. Not quite sure about Thursday and Friday at this point but I think we will be open one of those days as well.

BLUEBRRY UPDATE JUNE 15

 The blueberry fields should be open both Friday and Saturday mornings 8 to 10:30. The fruit has been very nice so far!
BLUEBERRY PYO :)
Posted 6/11/2016 5:12pm by Sam Bellamy.
 The blueberry field will be open for PYO from 8 am to 9 am Monday morning. We think it will be open again Wednesday morning for another short session. The fruit is ripening so the PYO season should be getting on a consistent schedule soon. Please bring something to take your berries home in. Thanks Sam  This is a wonderful picture from the past. The fruit is not at this stage now. The reason we are having a short initial PYO Monday is so people don't over pick the fruit.

  Sarah will be at the Myrtle Market Saturday morning with a good supply of strawberries. The field continues to produce but the volume is low enough to limit PYO for now. It is a good time for squash and zucchini. Cucumbers are making their presence felt. The quality of these vegetables is at their prime.
   We will be open Monday as well. Have a great Memorial Day seasoned with honest hope and serious gratitude.
May 18 Update Indigo Farms

    The strawberry field will be open Thursday morning and Friday. Due to rain it will not be open Saturday unless the weather does some big time changes.

   The market has lots of good broccoli, kohlrabi, lettuce, dill, chard, greens. The squash and zucchini are excellent right now. Blueberries are beginning to come in. PYO looks like it will be about June 10th.  

  We are getting in some nice watermelons, beans and corn.  Most things that we have been buying ( out of season crops) are much better in quality.

  Organic strawberries are holding up well, we are picking excellent squash, kale comes in two different varieties and garlic will be ready as soon as it cures. 

Strawberry update May 8

   With some drier weather the berries look better. The rains were a little hard on the fruit. The bushes keep adding fruit and people are really commenting on the quality and taste of the berries. The field should be open Monday through Saturday this week. This year crops like kale, chard , kohlrabi, radishes and spinach are somewhat late. But it is here. The kale, broccoli, chard have gotten some very positive comments. We have been working to pay more attention to soil quality and it seems to be reflecting on the crops.

Current News

 

            

Our crops grow slowly during these short, cold winter days. Due to this the Farm Market will be closed in January and most of February. 

We will RE-OPEN as the days get longer and the plants get bigger!

In January we'll be back at 

The International Culinary Institute of Myrtle Beach

at Market Common on Thursday afternoons from 1:00 - 6:00!

With the start of a New Year we're working on some new projects, like this High Tunnel which will protect plants that are growing in the field. This allows them to mature faster, so we can have delicious produce for y'all sooner! 

We will be back at the Myrtle Beach Farmers Market starting Spring 2019 - October.
