Pawtuxet Village Farmer’s Market – October 24th

October 22, 2015 By Blue Skys Farm

Where we’ll be:

Pawtuxet Village Farmers Market
Rhodes on the Pawtuxet
60 Rhodes Pl, Cranston
Saturday, 9am–12pm
(through October 31)

Thundermist West Warwick Farmers Market
186 Providence St, W. Warwick
Thursday, 3–6pm
(through October 29) 

We will be bringing the following items to the market this week:

Red Onions
Cippolini Onions
Purple Potatoes
Irish Cobbler Potatoes
Lacinato Kale
Bright Lights Swiss Chard
Lettuce Mix
Daikon Radish
Baby Pumpkins

from Scratch Farm:
Carrots
Garlic

We will have a limited amount of flowers as we have experienced our first frost this past weekend.  As you can see, some flowers do better than others once a frost has occurred.

Zinnia plants post-frost… sad.

Calendula plants post-frost. Not a bit of damage.  Beautiful AND hardy.

Photos from the farm:

Our second hoop-house has been completely turned over to fall and winter crops. Hard to believe that this same hoop-house was filled to the brim with tomatoes, tomatillos, pole beans, peppers and cucumber just a few weeks ago.

Newly planted greens and radishes. Closeup photos below. 

Arugula

Spinach

Bright Lights Swiss Chard

Red Spinach

Green Head Lettuce

So, although the frost has brought down some plants, others are newly planted and growing.  The addition of the two hoop-houses to the farm has helped to extend the seasons, both spring and fall, in a way that would not be possible otherwise.

As for upcoming markets, we will be at Pawtuxet Village Farmer’s Market for 2 more markets (October 24th and 31st). After that we will be at the Farm Fresh RI indoor market at the Hope Artist Building the Pawtucket beginning on Saturday, November 7th.

 Hope to see you at the market!
