Get ready for another wonderful field trip – this time to Leaning Tree Farm!
The March trip will be a special treat for those of you who frequent the Brazos Valley Farmers’ Market, because Leaning Tree Farm is home to Lois and Garlin Vaughn, by far the largest vendor at the farmers’ market. The Vaughns have grown their farm as the demand has steadily increased at the market. They now provide a wide variety of vegetables, seasonal fruits, jams and jellies, canned goods, herbs, home-ground flours, firewood (seasonal) and beef (by seasonal order).
Come visit the farm with us and see how they work their magic, turning the tiniest of seeds into the beautiful fruits and veggies we see every week at the farmers’ market. But be prepared for beauty – both the peach and plum trees should be blooming by the time we arrive. Here’s the scoop:
When: Sunday, March 15 (1:00 PM)
Where: Brazos Natural Foods (we’ll meet in the parking lot and carpool out to the farm)
Everyone is welcome and don’t forget to bring the kids! These field trips are a wonderful opportunity to teach our little ones about where good food originates.
Please RSVP to Heather by Thursday, March 12. This is so that I am able to provide enough maps to carpoolers as well as inform the farm as to how many people to expect. If you have any questions, just let me know. See you there!
