Canteloupe                                                               
This is a very attractive, oval-shaped musk type melon. The fruit have very good netting and are uniform in both size and shape. Cutting open the fruit reveals its firm, sweet flesh that has an appealing orange color. Its seed cavity is small and tight and has a firm rind. Some say they are better than ice cream.
 
 
 
Watermelon - Sugar Baby                                                        
Everyone’s favorite icebox type. The round, distinctively dark green Sugar Baby is a convenient 8-12 lbs. of sweet quality. Its firm, solid flesh is bright red, crisp and delicious with small, dark brown seeds. And the name "Sugar Baby" tells it all.
 
 
 
 
 
Onion - Candy Yellow                                                              
Candy Onion is less pungent than typical grown onions and will store better than the typical southern grown varieties. The sweet, mild flavor of Candy can be enjoyed late into winter if they are properly stored in a cool, dry area.  If we had to recommend one onion for everyone to try, it would be this one.
 
 
 
 
Okra

The plant also produces a beautiful flower. Okra has always been a popular vegetable in southern cuisine.
 
 
 
 
Aruguala                                                                                                             
Arugula is an aromatic salad green.  It is also known as rocket, roquette, rugula and rucola, and is popular in Italian cuisine. Like most salad greens, Arugula is a spicy little leaf, which some describe as having a "peppery-mustardy" flavor. It is often mixed with milder greens to produce a nice balanced salad. It can also be sautéed in olive oil.  Arugula is very low in calories and high in vitamins A and C. A 1/2 cup serving is 2 calories.   
 
 
Yellow Squash                                                                   
The smooth, bright yellow fruit are just what most customers demand and love, either picked early as a mini or later at conventional size. They have a mildly sweet and watery flesh, and thin tender skins that for many recipes don't need to be peeled. A very tasty squash of excellent quality. They are tender and delicious. 
 
 
 
 
Zucchini Squash                                                                 
Zucchini were, in the past, the quintessential Italian summer vegetable: Small zucchini and their flowers would appear in the mid-spring and larger zucchini by early summer. Those that ripen during the summer are much more flavorful and consequently Italians buy zucchini primarily in the summer.

Jalapeno Peppers

Organic Pears                                                                         
Pears contain Vitamin A and C, as well as some potassium and riboflavin. The vitamin C is generally concentrated in the skin. They are also a good source of food fiber, that make up the gritty particles in the pear's flesh. The best tasting pears are ones that are picked immature and allowed to ripen in storage. During this time, starches turn to sugar. Ours are Organic and are guaranteed to be of the finest quality.
 
 
 
Baby Beet Tops - on 1 inch

Squash Blossoms                                                                 
Squash blossoms are a treat generally unavailable to all but home gardeners and habitués of farmers markets.

Squash blossoms are edible raw or they can be incorporated into a variety of recipes.Try Battered Squash blossoms (with or without stuffing).
 
  
 
Black-Eyed Peas in Hull                                            
Sure - you've heard of them. Chances are good you have settled down to more than one special meal where this unique vegetable was the center of attention, in spite of being surrounded by such grand dishes as honey-glazed ham, candid yams and an array of desserts. You eat them for the taste, yes, but you mostly eat them for good luck; to make certain the new year is going to be a profitable and sustaining one.
 
 
 
Stevia                                                                            
Incredibly sweet leaves are an herbal alternative to sugar.
Use fresh, dried, powdered, or as a liquid to sweeten a variety of foods and beverages. Medicinal: Plaque retardant and tooth decay inhibitor. Fresh Stevia is very hard to find.
