Market Day Abundance
© Trish DruryThe stars of the show - the Willowood Veggies
At Willowood Farm we typically plant annually around 200 different named varieties of veggies. We have a number of old standby favorites, yet every year are trying something new. We enjoy growing open-pollinated and heirloom varieties of veggies with long histories. We are not, however, opposed to using newer "hybrid" varieties, especially those being developed by a growing cadre of knowledgeable vegetable breeders working specifically with organic systems in mind.
At Willowood Farm we love diversity in a theme and enjoy bringing to market, for instance, 10 different kinds of lettuce representing a range of colors, shapes, textures and tastes. We strive to shock and awe with the beauty, diversity and abundance of fabulous, tasty and healthy vegetables we are blessed to grow.
We have a particular love for garlic, currently growing more than 20 rare varieties, and potatoes, currently growing more than a
dozen gourmet varieties. Glorious garlic...
