🌱 Fresh Garden Harvest Available Before Alaska Trip

McCarty Farmstead in Dunlap is offering community members a chance to order fresh vegetables and herbs before the grower heads out of town next week. The harvest includes a diverse selection of seasonal produce grown on the farmstead, reflecting the region’s growing interest in locally sourced, sustainably grown food options.

🥬 What’s Available

The current harvest includes arugula, okra, jalapeños, habaneros, radishes, turnips, pimento peppers, eggplant, Thai basil, rosemary, Malabar spinach, and Chinese mustard. The variety reflects both traditional garden staples and more adventurous growing experiments-the grower notes that the eggplant is still ripening and admits some uncertainty about culinary uses for the Chinese mustard, which came from free seeds.

📍 How to Order
