Tomatoes
The tomatoes seem to start with a trickle and then progress into a downpour. These are the first; they will sell out quickly and more is yet to come. Assorted cherry tomatoes: $5 per 12-ounce pint. All other tomatoes currently available (not all varieties are ready yet), $3 per pound.
Our Persian cucumber harvest is growing stronger; they are $3 per pound. No lemon cucumbers yet.
Beets are harvesting well; $2 per pound.
The garden beans that the July heatwave tried to defeat are making a comeback: $2 per 8 ounces. More beans are on the way…we expect to have yardlong beans soon.
Greens include sweet potato greens, lamb’s quarters (quelites), New Zealand spinach (taste and texture like purslane/verdolagas), lemony sorrel, and Swiss chard. We love greens: put them in soups, stews, stir-fries, pastas, casseroles, enchiladas, with beans, with eggs.
Herbs picked to order: basil, parsley, onion chives, garlic chives, sage, thyme, oregano, and more…
We still have black currant jam and celtuce pickles. More preserved foods will come as the harvest continues.
Our sourdough bread for Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue is green chile and cheese. These 8 loaves are your last chance for sourdough until the killing frost (Octoberish) ends our harvest season. We simply do not have the time or space to bake when every horizontal surface in our house is covered with tomatoes. After the growing season, we will be baking a lot more; stay tuned.
Our direct from farm sales are Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-5pm. 14 Gonzales Rd, Belen. 505-302-5657. Please park in our driveway and ring our doorbell for service (it buzzes our phones).

Thank you customers!
Our cucumber pickles and dehydrated apples sold out today. We’ll make more cucumber pickles as our plants produce more cucumbers.
However, we do not have apple trees; we were given those apples by a neighbor. If you have excess apples, we have a solar dehydrator…let’s make a mutually beneficial partnership.
Red chile and honey sourdough, available tomorrow at 8am at Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue.

In the works
The red chile and honey sourdough (available tomorrow at Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue) gets a dusting of red chile powder mixed with flour before baking.
Also in the works: bread and butter pickles from our Persian cucumbers.

Spinach
Late addition: this is New Zealand spinach. It has mild-flavored succulent leaves like purslane/verdolagas.
Coming up at Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue:
Persian cucumbers. No, not Armenian cucumbers (we love those too). These are spineless, burpless, never bitter, and great for fresh eating or pickling.
Also baby beets, yum!
Blackcurrant jam. It’s sweet, a little sour, with luscious summer berry flavor.
Lots of greens. Sweet potato, amaranth, and lemony sorrel pictured here. We also have lamb’s quarters (quelites), and Swiss chard.
For pickles we have rattail radishes and celtuce in wheat-free soy sauce.
The sourdough selection is green chile and cheese.

We also have pizza peels, bread boards, and cheese boards made from natural exotic woods.
Find us at 201 Becker Ave, 8am-1pm. Folks line up for sourdough at 7:30am; it sells out fast.

Beets!
New item: beets with their greens.
And speaking of greens, our greens are still our rock stars. We have sweet potato greens, amaranth, lamb’s quarters (quelites), lemony sorrel, basil, onion chives, garlic chives, and other herbs.
For pickles, we have celtuce in wheat-free soy sauce and rattail radish pickles.
Tomato Watch continues. If you like them green, we might have a couple that you could fry up. Our beans are still recovering from the July heat wave.
The sourdough bread available exclusively at Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue will be green chile and cheese.
Regular business hours for direct-from-farm sales are Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-5pm or by appointment. 14 Gonzales Rd, Belen. 505-302-5657.
Today at Saturday Mornings on Becker Avenue:
The famous (infamous?) green chile and cheese sourdough. Sales begin at 8am and folks start lining up at 7:30am. $15, cash only.
‘Conrad’ hardneck garlic, named for the family who owned the farmland where it was discovered by our friend in KY. It seems to be well-adapted to NM since it grew fist-sized heads of garlic.
Sweet potato greens, which can be used the same as spinach in any recipe. Delicious stir-fried, we’re going to use it to make stracciatella (Italian egg drop soup) for supper later.
Mammoth basil leaves, parsley, and chives (not pictured). Save $1 when you buy our DIY pesto pack of all three herbs.
Much to our surprise, we got a few more purple snap peas off our plants during this week’s heatwave. We like being pleasantly surprised.
We also have garden beans and garden bean pickles with achari masala, a mix of cumin and other spices that’s savory, sour, and with a mild heat. And speaking of pickles, we also have celtuce preserved in wheat-free soy sauce as well as rattail radish pickles.
As always, we have our hand-screened logo t-shirts and our exotic wooden kitchen items.
Our booth is no longer in front of Silver-Bar Studios (go check them out, they open at 10am), but on the main lot at 201 Becker Ave.
