Online Farmers Market is open!

STT Locally Grown Online Farmers Market is open!

Excited to add to the market this week: local chives, banana slips from St Croix, Arugula, etc! Keep in mind some farmers are adding more inventory after some of their farm stands close this morning so check back again later this afternoon and even tomorrow.

Market Updates:
One of the big ones is that we are entering the winter months and during this time (even though you’re asking what winter), chickens naturally slow down laying to conserve energy. So we’ve begun to see some of our egg providers reduce number of eggs available. In case you were wondering, that’s what’s going on in our seasonal changes in our food cycles. On a tastier note, beginning around January everyone picks back up in egg production and we’ve been in contact with 2 major chicken farmers whose 100s of chicks will be coming of egg laying age by then so boy are we gonna have strong local egg production in St Thomas soon! The major part of the inspiration has been you! Your consumer trends of wanting more local eggs has motivated many producers on the market to increase their operations. So thank you for shopping on the market! You play the most important role in growing a strong healthy local resilient agriculture every time you eat local! Shelli want to give all of you a medal of Sustainable Agriculture drivers 2020! We’re not sure how as yet but we’re sure she’ll find a way! :)

Thanks again for shopping local and shopping seasonal!

Yours Truly,
