Our roadside stand in Arkansaw is officially open! We currently have a limited supply of cucumbers and a good supply of green/yellow beans, onions (red/white), popcorn and maple syrup available. The stand will be stocked daily from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. We will not be at the Eau Claire Downtown Farmers Market until the start of sweet corn season.

Below is an update on the rest of our produce.

Cucumbers

The cucumbers are just starting to get big. We will have a limited supply available daily at the roadside stand.

Onions

This year we are growing both white and red onions again. The onions look very nice this year and will be available at the roadside stand daily.

Green Beans

The green bean plants are loaded with green beans! We will have green beans and a few yellow beans available at the stand daily.

Sweet Corn

The sweet corn is tasseling and cobs have formed with white silk on top. Over the next week the cobs will continue to grow and the silk will turn brown. We expect the sweet corn to be ready later in July.

Potatoes

We will have both Red Norland and Yukon Gold potatoes available this year. The potatoes took a little longer than usual to sprout so they will be available in 1-2 weeks.

Zucchini

We are seeing small zucchini on the plants and expect to have them available in the next couple weeks.

Peppers

This year we are again planning on having bell peppers, sweet peppers (orange, yellow, and red), and hot jalapeno peppers. We are starting to see small peppers on the plants and expect them to be ready in early/mid August.

Muskmelon

The muskmelon we transplanted on plastic are blossoming and have some small melons. We expect to start having muskmelon starting around early/mid August.

Watermelon

The watermelon we transplanted on plastic are also blossoming. We expect to start having watermelon starting around mid August.

Squash

The squash is blossoming and we are starting to see small squash on the plants. We typically have most squash varieties available around early to mid September. Photo is of buttercup squash.
