A big Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Celebrate dad with coffee, local honey, hot sauce, jams, pickles, and fresh veggies from the farm stand. Our dads will enjoy their celebration on Sunday! We have a good variety awaiting you tomorrow at the farm stand. The silver queen corn ears are slowly getting larger, the melons are ripening, and the okra is just starting to form. The photo below shows Saturday availability .
While we wait on the edible watermelon, stop into Goods for the wooden watermelon. They look so real you may just want to eat them. Other “Goodies” await you in the Goods store, along with the raffle sign up. Names have been filling the container this week, did you get yours in yet?
After several near misses of rain the past 2 days we finally got 1/4 inch this afternoon. Much cooler now! Happy Friday and we will see you tomorrow at the farm!

Another cooking hot day, with more forecasted through next week hitting even more record setting temperatures for June. It’s definitely August weather hot outside which means the vegetable & fruit ripening has slowed. We are anxiously awaiting the new tunnel shade cloths we mentioned last night which should block the sun to help keep the temperatures cooler inside the tunnels. Fingers crossed we return to normal average temperatures soon to keep plenty of non-GMO offerings available.
We had numerous Goods visitors today. A number of the new wooden watermelons found new homes today. While the juicy real ones are still weeks away these wooden babies literally look like they could be eaten.
And now for a throw back Thursday which we haven’t done in several weeks. The photo below was taken on this day in 2019 and was the first day we had a produce stand. Things have surely grown in 3 years. Our appreciation & thanks to our customers that bought out of this stand, regulars, and everyone new! See ya’ at the farm!

What a heat wave. This is what we expected in August not the middle of June. We had to order new shade cloths for the greenhouse tunnels numerous weeks earlier than expected!
The vegetable plants continue to surprise us each day. Thursday in the farm stand you can find the first container of okra for the 2022 season. Green beans are almost ready, and the corn just might be ready for July 4th this year. So far God has blessed us with a good crop and we are beyond grateful.
Cute summer watermelon decorations arrived in Goods today! If you need to bring a little summer to your home or outdoor area, you have to see these lifelike melons. Multiple sizes are available.
Have a cool and hydrated evening. J&L

What a response yesterday! We have the best customers supporting our local small business!! A big thank you to those who voted for us yesterday and continue to vote daily, we do appreciate it. If you missed yesterday’s post we have been nominated for best farmer’s market with Best of Georgia! Yesterday’s posting has the link to vote and instructions.
The farm stand is stocked with today’s garden offerings. Yes it is hot and the plants have slowed their ripening efforts to conserve energy but are still producing. See the photo below for the Wednesday options.
Goods kicks off being open tomorrow for the week. PLEASE, give Lisa a break from the heat if you want to shop. She does not mind at all!!! Just push the doorbell and she will be down to assist. Get your name in for the newest raffle while you are here!
Stay cool this evening!! HHFG

What a busy Friday, both Farm and Goods were hopping today. We hope everyone enjoys their produce and Good’s purchases. Squash and zucchini remain on sale for tomorrow. Holly Hill is open tomorrow from 9am to 4pm, so if you missed us this week tomorrow is the day. Fresh produce is restocked and Goods is ready.
As we head into the summer produce season, we have a few updates. The red slicers are slowly ripening, but the Cherokee Purple tomatoes are available and they are amazingly good. Some might even say they are better than a regular red slicer, try one and decide for yourself. Our cherry tomatoes and yellow candy tomatoes are ripening now and will be in the stand as soon. More variety including the melons, corn, beans, and spaghetti squash will be on the horizon soon.
Have a great evening and we will see you tomorrow.

Fried green tomatoes anyone? Green tomatoes are in the stand per your requests. Cherokee purples and red slicers are available, but currently in limited supply. Squash, zucchini, blackberries, raspberries, herbs, jams, honey, coffee, cucumbers and summer squash salsa are all ready for your weekend plans.
Goods has been plentiful with visitors this week and raffle entries are building up. We have summer, and patriotic items along with day to day arts available. Need a unique gift for someone? Stop by and browse our selection, we have some original items that might be what you are looking for.
TGIF tomorrow and the start of the weekend! Enjoy yours and we will see you soon.

Fresh produce awaits your tables tomorrow at the farm stand, picked today with assistance from our little helper who is back from vacation. We have blackberries, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, red cabbage, cucumbers, herbs, jams, honey, coffee and a few bottles of elderberry syrup. You will also find peach preserves in the stand tomorrow.
Announcing the new raffle in Goods. A hand painted “Welcome” door or entry arrangement. Get you name in the pail by visiting Goods Wednesday through Saturday. More new decorative items arrived today. We have had many newbies stop by so if Lisa is not at the building just ring the doorbell and she will be down to assist.
Have a wonderful evening and we will see you tomorrow.

Peach preserves & peach bourbon jam will be available in the stand at the end of the week to add to the jam favorites. The last of the red cabbage will be out this week and in the farm fridge. Come and get it while it lasts.
The first 2 rows of corn have tassels beginning, so silks and the start of ears will be following soon. Green beans & yellow wax beans are coming along and should be available in the next few weeks.
Goods is open starting tomorrow and the new raffle will be announced. Check out the newest cute summer boards. Small enough to decorate your doors, porches or even entryways.
The stand is stocked for tomorrow, minus the dog. 🙂 Time for end of day farm tasks. See you soon! HHFG
