DRIPPING SPRINGS BABBLE: DRIPPING WEEKEND

DRIPPING WEEKEND

Farm stand at Onion Creek Farm today, Friday, from 3:00PM - 6:00PM! In case you missed it yesterday, click here to learn what fresh certified organic produce Marianne will have available (and directions to the stand). We were at Marianne's a few weeks ago and she had just run out of carrots. When we asked if there were any more, she stepped toward the field, shouted "more carrots!" to a farm hand tending the rows of growing vegetables, and moments later we had carrots. Really fresh carrots. Whole Foods who?
