This week, a lot going on and we're highlighting our summer carrots as well as our donation program, the Pay-It-Forward Green Box program (https://www.greengardensfarm.com/donate). Then we address and flush out what we're being asked and how to appropriately answer the question "Are these greenhouse tomatoes?"

This week we have the summer fruits showing off for market, and we take a trip into the kitchen to try a fun and beautiful Broccolini Recipe!
