Farmstand July 31

In Pound, about 1 mile up 631 Mill Creek at Chipmunk Road

Afternoon,
What we have on the stand:
-Cherry Tomatoes
-Tiny Winter Squash

*We have an old-fashioned dishpan full of KY Wonder Beans picked this morning for $20. These are not on the stand; we can place them there with your name on them. In addition, we picked, broke, and pulled off strings to allow 3 types of green beans to dry into Shuckey Beans. These should last months if kept dry.
*We plan to put out freshly picked Celery in our cooler on the stand tomorrow.

We are sooo excited to have so many fall crops started in the greenhouse, plus some flowers and herbs that are frost tolerant or are perennials. We should be stocking the farmstand with these in a week or so. We also start 5 kinds of Peas tomorrow, some in cups and some direct seeded on the farm to sell. Today, we plan to also plant 2 types of Radishes in pots. And...we should have Asparagus plants on the stand soon!

Did we say we were excited??!!!
Again, if you have extra plant pots and/or used cattle/sheep/goat panels lying around, please let us know. We are already planning for next spring.

Plans are being made to offer sewing classes at Mountain Empire Community College and here in Pound. The plan is to offer four different classes this summer: Beginner's Sewing, How to Use a Pattern (Simplicity, McCall's, Kwik Sew, etc.), How to Make Buttonholes and Sew on Buttons by Machine and by Hand, and How to Put in a Zipper (several zipper insertion techniques). Please let me know which class/classes you, a family member, or a friend would be interested in. Thanks, Eyvonna

I am planning a variety of summer sewing classes for both children and adults in the Southwest Virginia/Southeast Kentucky area. I teach beginning classes in which students learn to use their sewing machine and make a cool project. I teach classes on how to use garment and craft patterns, such as Simplicity or McCall's. I also offer classes on making buttonholes and putting in zippers. Classes can meet 2 hours per day, once a week, for several weeks or for 6-8 hours as an intensive one-day class. I have created this page to inquire as to what dates and times are best for interested students. Please feel free to leave your comments here, private message me, or email me. And, please SHARE this page with your friends. :) I will be updating as ideas come in.
