New stand hours are 9 am until 7 pm through Saturday. Sunday hours are Noon until 7pm.

So, looking forward, here is what we are hoping to see soon and in the near future in the stand.
Blackberries. Thornless. We are loaded this year. We grow Original Doyle, Natchez and Arapaho. They are red and starting to turn darker.
Herbs- Cilantro, Basil varieties, Huacatay, African Nunum.
Italian Roma II flat beans.
Pepper varieties- Malawi Piquante (PepperDews), sweet little, pickling. Antigua Red- Indigenous variety from the Antigua, Guatemalan street market. They are awesome, Red, large sweet and long. Lesya-Ukranian stocky thick walled, green to red. Yalova Yaglik-Turkish large Green to Red sweet pepper, along with Sivri, another long skinny sweet variety from Turkey. Anchos, Poblanos, Anaheims, Biquhino's for pickling and a few Aji hot varieties from Peru.
Tomatoes- We are growing only a few varieties this year- Big Italian from Sicily, Birdwalk from Belize, Persimmon from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello Gardens and The Appalachian rarity, West Virginia Bear Claw. All are the best of the best and my wife Kim will arm wrestle anyone who doubts this.
Makah Ozette potatoes- A Native American western variety fingerling. Creamy, buttery. Unbelievable. Recently the Makah tribe released some of the slips and gardeners are enjoying the rich and earthy flavor of a truly prized food.
Murasaki Sweet Potatoes-Red, white flesh.
Okra- Clemson Spineless and a rare variety from Nigeria, called Mother. Small football shaped.
Chinese Red Noodle Beans.
Cucumbers- boring
Squash- Heirloom White Cushaw- Pies. That's all I am going to say.
Delicata Squash- The name of it describes it perfectly.
Guicoy squash. They are from Guatemala. Small immature ones can be eaten fresh, boiled, with an asparagus/Brussels sprouts flavor. Let them mature and it's an ugly knotty pumpkin, with great flavor- soups, etc.
Ayote- A green flesh, winter squash. Soups etc. If you don't mind the end result of cooked Ayote pulp, which is brown, sitting on your plate, then I would highly recommend this rare treat.
That's all for now.I'm sure I missed a few things
Cheers.

A bit of an update here at Lucas Lane Farm. We are harvesting blueberries daily. DAILY. We have three varieties, Blueray, Chandler and Duke. These give us an extended early to late berry season. Get them now. In the stand.
Here are a few other items available now. Frisée. This slightly bitter endive is awesome. Don't be frightened by it's odd sounding name. It can be used many ways. Mix with lettuce as a fresh green option. Wilt it with anything, eggs, meat, etc. Chop it and use it in potato salad. It's unbelievably versatile and so nutritious.
Rhubarb. Old fashioned Granny style. Recently our area is struggling with keeping rhubarb growing and coming back each year. When our grandmas and aunts had rhubarb, the plants were literally indestructible and you could take a shovel to a mature one and split it for a new planting. Not sure why we struggle today, but it's scarcity in many local gardens is certainly evident.
Our rhubarb is flourishing and I can say it might be because we are only using acclimated Indiana stock. We are somewhat winning...for now. So we, have rhubarb.
Asparagus season is past, but there is a bit left.
We have duck eggs, pasture raised, large yolk and of course, delicious.
Herbs- Cubano Mojito mint. The real deal for your summer drinks. Dill, Tarragon, Oregano, and Italian Parsley round the herbs out, for the moment.
We have some zucchini as well.
The mixed lettuce is still thriving so we will continue stocking what we have.
That sums up things at the moment. The next post will be about what is coming on...

We just harvested a nice small trailer full of Luffa, or Loofah, yes, the gourd that can be turned into great scrubbing material we all know and love! We have extra. They will be available by our farm stand today through Sunday from 10 am until 6pm. Please take what you could dry, clean use, etc. If you'd like to make a small donation for them, that is nice and welcome due to our super hard and sweaty work from, growing, watering, harvesting and loading. If not, that is fine as well. Enjoy! 7125 S. Lucas Road. Bloomington, IN.

Tomatoes!
Mother Nature has finally smiled upon us. We have some great tomatoes of all colors in the farm stand. And folks, please do not shy away from the Yellow/orange heirloom variety, Mr. Stripey! These taste amazing! Super sweet. Today through Sunday, we will be dropping our tomato price to $2 a lb. Yep. Two dollars...Try and find that price for the quality anywhere. Ain't gonna happen. Also, great squash is available, and we will be harvesting the Italian Flat Roma beans late this morning and early afternoon. The beans at the moment are incredible. Frisee is back as well. Also, Thai hot peppers, and Aji Peach peppers, two incredibly tasty peppers to accompany any dish are available. OKRA. Late, but we have it. Malawi Piquante or Peppadews. You don't know what you're missing if you haven't tried them. Pickle, eat fresh, core them with cream cheese added. A slight but easy heat. That's all. Thanks.

We had read about these small petite fingerling potatoes from the Pacific Northwest and decided to experiment with some this year. They are from the Makah tribe in Washington and purportedly the oldest known potato variety that had been grown in the region for centuries. These potato starts came from the Ozette village of the Makah and are appropriately known as the Makah Ozette Potato. This potato is small, yet has a nutty and creamy flavor.
