Bootstraping at Whole Foods!

Whole Foods is getting serious about buying local and we love it! They've already called to buy more tomatoes - we might not have very many at market because they are selling so many. They are also buying yellow squash and cucumbers, so if you are in the brookside area and you can't make it to the farmers' market - go to Whole Foods and ask for our veggies. Be sure and tell them thank you for buying local.

Otherwise, we'll see you at the Cherry Street Farmer's Market on Saturday. 7-11 am. We'll have amaranth, assorted peppers, squashes, tomatoes, cucumbers, fancy red okra, and more!

Anyways, the picture above is our developing pie pumpkin patch with watermelons and tomatoes in the background.


These little plants will soon be 1000 broccoli and cabbage transplants. Wow! We're already thinking about cool weather - how about that?

  1. Chelsea...I've been LOVING the Calaloo! I've juiced it and used it raw in a salad this week.

    BIG PROPS on the Whole Foods gig, that's so awesome!

    Also here is the link to the video Jen & did a few weeks back at the Wed. market.

  2. Congratulations you two! My husband and I have a dream to the same thing, only we're not as young as you and wish we had started this years ago! I commend you for what you're doing, and hope more people will follow suit. Wish you all the best!
