A Fruitful Day of Fruitful Events

Today marks the beginning of the third week of the Fruitful Nut's involvement with this year's Farmer's Market in Rexburg and the second in Idaho Falls. With the beautiful sunshine outside and the bounteous booth we will have tonight and tomorrow afternoon it is shaping up to be a great day.  We have our first few tomatoes finally in the ground and will be ready somewhere close to mid-July to the first of August. We will have several varieties available for sale at that time such as:

       
• Beef Steak
• Roma
• Early Girl
• Grape Tomatoes
• Tomatilla (a green, husked, tomato)

We have also planted many other items such as Broccoli, Peas, Cauliflower, Lettuce, Cabbage and Spinach. Future plants that will include: Watermelons, Cantaloupe, Honey Dew, Cucumbers, Sweet Corn and Squash.

By the end of the season we really will be the "Fruitful" Nut.  

About this weekend's markets we will have our usual supply of gourmet nuts and dried fruit including Yogurt-Covered Almonds, Chocolate Malt Balls, Dried Cranberries and many other great tasting, guilty pleasure fulfilling products.  Tonight we will also be bringing leeks fresh from our garden and hand picked this very afternoon.

We will also have our normal supply of Hydroponic Tomatoes grown right at the BYU-Idaho's Hydroponics Greenhouse. These are large tomatoes with a great taste. To learn more about these delectable edibles, check out their website.

We are also piloting a new product developed at Rexburg's own Wilcox Fresh Potatoes. Potato Jazz are steam trays full of fingerling and baby potatoes with microwave instructions and a spice packet to boot. These special spuds make a great meal for 3-4 people and cook up in about 5 minutes!

Thanks and we look forward to see you at the Market!!
