High Bush Blueberries
Menu Group: Food
Section: Fruits and Berries
Vendor: Rasmussen Farm
Large, cultivated blueberries, mixed varieties.
We use no pesticides / herbicides / fungicides / sprays on our farm, not even pest control products approved for Certified Organic growers. We do hand-pick bugs off of plants and drop the bugs into soapy water with Planet dish washing soap; but we try to avoid spilling the soapy water on the plants themselves.
This is true of everything we grow, even when we neglect to mention it in an item description.

Section: Fruits and Berries
Vendor: Fairbanks Farmstand & Nursery
Plump and sweet blackberries, ready for you to add to your cereal, make jam or simply snack
Every time my toddler is in the front yard, she makes a beeline for the blackberry patch. She is a girl after my own heart and gobbles them up as fast as she can pick them. Needless to say, she has a few scratches from these prickly brambles, it doesn't seem to deter her one bit.

Sugarsnap peas
Menu Group: Food
Section: Vegetables
Vendor: Rasmussen Farm
.
Peas with edible pods, just pull off the stem. Snap peas are bigger and sweeter than snow peas.
According to the Fedco Seeds catalog Sugarsnaps are, “One of the very best raw treats in the garden, far tastier than the dwarf varieties…. Pods reach superb sweetness only when completely filled. Then they are incomparable.†Most commercial growers grow “dwarf†snap pea varieties, since the shorter plants require less work to grow. Try these Sugarsnaps for a real pea-lover’s treat!

New Potatoes

Naturally grown.
As new potatoes, the skin is fragile and the potato browns quickly where the skin is broken which does not affect flavor.
Not for storage.
A mix of red and yellow: The mix makes a striking potato salad!
Dark Red Norlands: Pretty red skin, pure white interior. A real delight. Boil and serve either hot with butter or cold in a salad Grown naturally.
Satina and/or Nicola: Both with Yellow with yellow flesh.
All grown naturally.
