We hope you are anticipating a good year. As farmers we look for good on a regular basis. We desire our soils be good, our crops be good , our fruit be good, our work be good, our lives and families be good and we desire like goodness to those we serve. Honestly, there are times when we all may be left feeling as if no good can come from some situations. I find it all the more reason to pay more attention to the good we do see, even if it is a simple good. One of the slogans we have at the farm is real farm goodness. That is by choice not merely something that sounds good. We believe in goodness and believe that goodness should be a part of the very food you eat. These winter days need all the goodness we can put into them. Our spirits ,our bodies and our minds need to build on the good and approach the day with intent to bring out the best all around. So you may be one who could benefit from the goodness that cold weather brings to farm fresh greens , collards, broccoli, turnips, kale, lettuce, honey, and lots of other goods. The store hours are Wednesday and Saturday mornings , 9:30 -1pm. Feel free to call if you have questions or specific needs. 843 399 6902 or 910 287 6794

Check out the army of Gingerbread people at the bakery. These colorful characters are not bad as a little treat or as a team of festive additions to a Holiday gathering. The scones and pumpkin rolls are good too. Now is the time to place an order for pies , etc for Christmas.
There are some good greens, turnips and other fresh produce as well as honey, ham, jams and dressings in the produce market.
The Garden Cneter has many good items for Christmasn as well.
It is time for the holidays , friendly get-togethers and good food. Food seems to be such a rich part of times remembered. Sure there are cultural distinctions that determine flavors, recipes and special dishes but often it can be the dish or recipe that has family roots or a strong ethnic or local character nearer to your specific family. It is especially nice to find a new special dish to enlarge your family traditions.
Perhaps we at Indigo Farms can help. The Bakery has some very good pies and desserts which many of you know about. But we are slowing adding some new items ( ones we believe will prove to be favorites ). Our pumpkin roll has been well received and we hope to add more this holiday season. We welcome your input.
Hopefully, you were able to buy some grape juice or apple cider and put it away for the holidays. If not there may still be some for sale. Nuts are great for this of year. They make good snacks for the individuals that keep hanging around the kitchen while you are trying to cook. Greens are good also. Honey makes a great gift. You might even get a “ that is so sweet” from someone.
There are many items from country ham, sweet potatoes, turnips, collards and leaf lettuce to choose from. There are a variety of apples as well as cranberries to make your cooking special.
Gift items are to be found as well. Whether from the produce shelves or from the Garden Center there is an element of “down to earth” goodness.
For many of us things are pretty tight these days but remember that it is we as individuals giving the best of who we are that helps to create moments that are worth remembering.
Have a good holiday season.
October 20 STOCKPIG news
The Pumpkin Day races are where individual pigs prove themselves. With seven races, it often reveals the pig’s with the biggest "want to" as the day continues. Only 6 points separated #12 Abigail and # 18 Asa. But the green& gold #12 came out with a burning desire to get out front. Generally if this pig gets an early lead she is very hard to beat. She was 9 for 9 before #18 Asa finally won his first race of the day. By then she had added 90 points to her credit. Asa, who had finished second to Abigail in every race, failed to place in the last race and fell into a third place finish before breaking into a winning streak of his own. He went on to win four of the next five races. In other hard fought struggles #15 Rahab gets ahead of # 9 Esther while #7 Ruth creates shock across the track by not only placing second in one race but actually winning one. This little pig was considered a sure last place racer. It was a great day of racing and the pigs seemed to enjoy running all through the day.
We look forward to October 27th races this Saturday.
