run afoul of the weather. We got word late yesterday that, due to the heavy rains and thunderstorms in our region of late, Swann Farms will not be at the Market today.
Here's the letter from Jess Hood:
"Crystal & the rest of the Cheverly Community Market group,
I am writting on the behalf of Swann Farms, and I am sorry to inform you that I will not be participating in the market this week. Because of popular demand we are officially out of strawberries for the season and this large amount of rain fall and lack of sunlight have slightly postponed our corn crop (which is what I had planned to bring this week). However, I am excited to say that at the next market, June 27th, I will come with white, sweet corn that is magnificent (As well as squash, cucumbers etc.)!! I apologize, but with local growing, our fate is in the weather's hands! See you all on the 27th and thanks for such a warm welcome at the previous market."
Remember, these farmers depend on weather conditions to bring their harvest to us, and sometimesa the weather just won't cooperate. We'll miss Jess today, but we're looking forward to a real bounty of vegetables from Swann at our next Market, June 27.
Today we'll have two produce vendors, Reberts and Schlagel, and they'll be happy to help you with your early summer fruit and vegetable needs! And remember to bring your plants and plant questions -- we'll have Master Gardeners on hand to help you and your garden.
See You at the Market!
