Enjoy the Sweet Tastes of Summer!

Posted on August 16, 2010 by partyka2010

It isn’t truly summer until peaches, sweet corn, and tomatoes have arrived! Partyka Farms now has all three. Each are juicy, sweet, delicious, and HOMEGROWN. Our sweet corn is a sugar enhanced variety…and it is the best sweet corn you will ever have! GUARANTEED!!!

YUMMY!!!



Also, right now we currently have Red Haven peaches. This variety is great for canning…especially since it is a free stone variety. This means that the peach comes clean off the pit.

Finally, our field tomatoes are now ready. Currently, we are selling these in pints and quarts. Hopefully by next week we will be able to sell them by eight quart baskets and bushels.


Below is a list of all the current prices of these fruits and vegetables:
SWEET CORN
50 cents/ ear
$1.00/3 ears
$4.00/Dozen (13 ears)

PEACHES
$4.00/Quart
$7.00/2 Quarts
$9.00/4 Quarts
$12.00/8 Quart Basket
$18.00/Half Bushel
$30.00/Bushel

$2.00/ Pint
$4.00/Quart
