If you are looking for more ways to recycle, 'R Garden & 'R Garden Kitchen will take your plastic grocery bags & canning jars. Please canning jars only- grocery store jars are not the same. They are not made the same as jars bought empty for home canning and tend to break when reused. Jars marked: "Golden Harvest", "Mason", "Kerr", "Ball", or "Quilted Crystal" are real home canning jars.

An easy gift for any occasion a cheese box of homemade goodies from your local farmer.

"Grown here & Made Here" for 300 Years

More & more people are wanting to either grow their own vegetables or at least know where they come from. Being able to meet the farmers who actually grow their vegetables and talk to them is one thing you can only get at a Farmer's Market! Every thing effects the growing of produce. Asking your farmer questions about what's coming off in their garden is a great way to get to know what is going on in the local gardens where you live. See ya at the Market!

Shipping is a terrible thing to do to vegetables. They

probably get jet-lagged, just like people.

What 'R customers are saying!

Hi Kitty, just wanted to let you know how much we are enjoying the fresh lettuce. Every year I am, again, surprised by the great flavor of fresh lettuce after a winter of "store bought" green stuff! Just wanted to say thanks for raising it since I spend all my garden energy on flowers...

Robin & Stephen Duncombe (the tomato pie lady) & farmers market customer

Hi, Kitty.
Your figs were a hit, again. We had one customer just order a bowl of them with some feta cheese. They were that good.
Earlier today, I was talking up your B&B Pickled Squash. I was telling them that I built a sandwich around them, our Pork Tenderloin, Brie Cheese, Your Pickled Squash, Dijon Mustard on Swiss Chalet's Ciabatta bread.
Thanks for putting us on your website.

What better customer approval can you get!?

"That buzzing-noise means something. If there's a buzzing noise, somebody's making a buzzing-noise, and the only reason for making a buzzing-noise that I know of is because you're a bee. .... And the only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey..... And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it." Winnie the Pooh
