First Pop-Up Event of 2024

DATES: Saturday, 1/13/2024 *and* Sunday, 1/14/24
TIME: Each day from 11am - 1pm or we sell out, whichever comes first.
LOCATION:  In the parking lot at 95 NM-344, Edgewood, NM.
That's the old "Independent Newspaper" building; it's where From The Ashes Comes Amore and the Desert Edge Barbershop are. YES--we have spoken with and received written permission from the property owner.

WHAT will we have available:
Limited amounts each day-->Farm Fresh Lettuce and Microgreens. Microgreen varieties will include: Sunflower, Pea, Broccoli, Rambo Radish, Wasabi Mustard, Sandia Spicy Mix, and East Mountains Mix.
I will also have a limited number of Gaillardia seed packets available for sale. Gaillardia (pictured above growing on our farm in 2023) is also known as Blanket Flower and it is a wonderful, beautiful perennial flower.

Is it ORGANIC?
SowThankful Farm is not certified organic. There are very strict USDA RULES about labeling products as organic and that comes with lots of hoops and a hefty price tag for the certification process. Additionally, there's a lot of ummm "uncertainty" about the integrity of the "organic" labeling system -- reference: https://www.newyorker.com/.../the-great-organic-food-fraud 
There are other articles out there if one spends some time researching, including this one: https://reason.com/2023/02/04/the-usda-cant-stop-organic-food-fraud/ 
And this one: https://modernfarmer.com/2023/10/can-you-trust-organic-label/
And there are others.
For the amount we produce (we grow crops on less than 3/4 acre at this time) it's not worth the hassle and expense for the certification. I can tell you this: We do NOT use any synthetic chemical fertilizers. We do NOT use any synthetic chemical pesticides. I started growing food because I don't want to consume pesticides and other nasty synthetic chemicals. We eat the same lettuce, veggies & produce that we sell.
