We will shop at Christian community of 18 families on 400 acres, growing a wide range of vegetables from Asparagus to Zucchini, picked and brought to our on-farm market daily. Market also sells homemade breads, cookies, jams, jellies, honey, soaps, etc. Every September sorghum molasses are cooked the old fashioned way. All farming is done with horse-drawn equipment and lots of hand labor.
