Saturday October 29th Poulsbo Farmers MarketGreat Goodies at the Poulsbo Farmers Market Saturday Drop by and visit Cliff at the first "Winter" season market. It is where it always is at
7th and Iverson in Poulsbo. At this time of year pumpkins take the lead. We have
jack-o-lantern sized pie pumpkins. These are great, and we are selling them for only 45¢ per pound. This is a huge savings
just for our delightful "Halloween holiday."
We have luscious
squash: delicata, Guatemala Blue Banana (reminds me of a winter zucchini), Anna Swartz hubbard (short fibers give a wonder
texture), Acorns, and Buttercup.
Here is our "little list" of truly special food for you and your family: Yukon gold potatoes corn collard greens silverbeet kale head lettuce mustard greens green onions carrots beets Our prices, as well
as the prices of the other farmers rival the grocery stores. Don't be hoodwinked by the grocery stores. Come to the Poulsbo
Farmers Market and see for yourself. Fresh Good Food Kitsap Grown

We dropped the price! Send me your order by Monday evening by clicking here to send me an e-mail, and pay when you pick them up. I'll e-mail you for the pick up day. Kids love them!
They come in this week in time for Halloween parties. Great Halloween party treats. They are yummy. Not at all like the apples in the grocery store. I have never tasted a better Red Delicious apple. It was big, hard, juicy, and crisp, and filled with more
flavor than the ones I bought from the store. The Honeycrisps
are always rated the best in taste tests, these are juicy and crisp with a strong apple scent.
Both
are healthy for you. You can eat the whole apple, skin and all because its Certified Organic and raised in Central Washington
by family owned farm. These apples are perfect for canning, baking,
freezing, or cooking. Already ordered? You get the lower price, too.
Red
Delicious Apples $39 per 40# boxes
Honeycrisp
Apples $46 per 40# boxes Fresh, just picked apples These
apples are "home delivery grade" which means they will have a small blemish or two.

Acres is a small 10 acre farm located in south Kitsap near Burley, it is owned & operated by Jade, Cynthia, Elliana, &
Kearalyn Pope. Their lambs are raised on a natural
diet consisting primarily of grass & legume pasture, with supplemental feed provided when necessary. All lambs for meat
are finished exclusively on pasture without any grain. There is a very limited quantity of this lamb available. Please see our lamb flyer for cuts
and prices. Jade
is very involved with the Puget Sound Meat Producers Cooperative, (PSMPC) which operates a USDA inspected mobile meat processing
unit. After conferring with Jade, we decided to butcher our beef with the PSMPC, which allows us to sell
our beef by the piece at our Farm Store. The lamb and beef are naturally raised, however
they are not certified organic.

price changes, or lock in your share price for the Summer 2012 CSA. I can assure you that prices will go up, since I had to
