Carla I just really get tired of this family's really cheap prices when the
rest of the vendors have had to put up with this for a long time. Our
region has a lot of problems, major flooding currently is really going to very
expensive and putting a lot of people out of their homes and our markets have
been very low on customer count that is actually spending money to buy
food. A lot of the leavis are breaking today with the 36' level and the
old Mud Mo is getting wider every day. All this mess is heading south at a
very rapid rate, look out KC.
I really think they do grow what they are selling, but why sell below
wholesale. What we can't sell at markets go the the local shelters and
they actually come to the market at the end of the day to take what vendors
wants to donate, needless to say our donations the last two weeks has been quite
sizeable.
Has your Broccoli getting any better, we sell broccoli to the farm to
school program in Co Bluffs, and Omaha for their summer school programs, and our
broccoli will only hold a couple day's this year, I blame this really crazy
weather, 100 one day and 60 the next, and lots of rain. We Hydrocool out
of field and bring it down to 34 degrees within 20 min's out of the field, but
the heads very quickly turn, new experience for this product for us.
We will have salad mix all summer along with Micro Greens thanks to a shady
building I put in the under the willow trees, works better than our shade cloth
building.
