The rain is apppreciated as it makes the poatoes and carrots size up nicely, however, a little sun is needed to make the winter squash grow and the peas, and the beans.

This week Rempel Family Farm will have peas, carrots, Snow Apple turnips, cucumbers, green onions, several kinds of potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbages, lots of greens, spinach, beets, and more.

All this will be available at the Northway Mall on Wed. from 9 to 4.

Thanks,

Mark Rempel

Stockwell Farms

Eleven years ago Vernon, Becky, and her 3 sons moved from Anchorage to Palmer to continue Vernon's family tradition of chemical and toxin free vegetable farming. Now in their 10^thfarming season, Stockwell Farm is happy and excited to be sharing their produce with the folks of Alaska by participating in the Northway Mall Wednesday Market. Even though they grow a large assortment of vegetables; they are best known for their snappy sweet carrots and giant sweet onions. Becky sells gourmet jams and jellies made from local ingredients.
