My dear friend, Marion,
forwarded me this e-newsletter,
from Coon Rock Farm:
Hi Everyone,
We had our first hard freeze this week which means some of the more tender veggies will only be with us a short while longer. Get them while you can. We also got another 6 inches are rain so we’re still plenty wet.
Every farmer has his challenge crop…that crop that just seems hard for him or her to grow no matter what. Ours was carrots. We tried for years to grow carrots in the rocky clay soil that makes up Coon Rock Farm and we never had much success until last spring when we discovered the “secret of carrot germination” after years of trial and error. This fall, people thought we were crazy as I marked out 3 rows, each 300 feet long of carrots in the garden. Well no one is laughing now. We have an incredible fall/winter carrot crop (for the first time in 5 years) and they are available this week for the first time at $3.00/bunch.
Farmer’s Markets we attend:
1. Coon Rock Farm on-farm market every Saturday from 10:00 to 12:00 at the farm.
2. South Estes Farmers Market every Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00 at University Mall in the parking lot of A Southern Season in Chapel Hill (southestesfarmersmarket.com)

3. Tuesdays from 4:00 till 6:00 in the parking lot of Duke Gardens

5. Saturdays from 9:00 till 11:00 in the parking lot at Carpenter Village where the Western Wake Farmers market meets.
