Well, this has been and still is a very busy week for us.  As I mentioned last week, we are trying to raise money to pay for a water well in Africa.  Our older two daughters and a group of their friends have been working all summer to raise money for an organization called Water For Life that installs water wells in areas without clean water. The girls have raised $3200 so far and are trying to reach their goal of $4800 by the end of the year. That's the cost of one well that can provide water for 1000 people.  That's perpetual life-saving, not just a one-shot deal, kind of like that "teaching someone to fish vs. giving them some fish" kind of thing.

Since we're having the garage sale at the store, the store will be open BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FROM 8 - 4.  This is a chance to get your fresh produce even if you normally have a hard time coming out between 10 and 4 on Saturdays.  Come get your veggies and browse the garage sale for a good cause.

The veggie harvest this week looks an awful lot like last week...

Peppers - we should have bells, anaheims, serranos,*hot* Thai peppers, jalapenos, and Habaneros
Squash - yellow and zucchini summer squash and carnival and acorn winter squash
Eggplant - Italian and Thai
Turnips
Turnip greens
Radishes
A few other baby greens
A little baby spinach
Maybe a few liana beans and black eyed peas
Pumpkins - Heidi has harvested dozens of beautiful pie pumpkins.  She's decorated the store with them, but promises to sell you one anyway

*All* of that is grown sustainably and organically right at Greener Vision.

See you this Friday and/or Saturday 8 - 4. Don't forget we also have goat milk soap, Celtic sea salt, farm fresh  eggs, and Mrs. MacArthur's pepper relishes.  And we'll be donating 15% of the gross sales from the store both days to the charity as well, so if you've been debating buying a bunch of soap or Hotter-Than-The-Devil Texas relish, now would be a great time to do so.

OH, not that most of you will be excited since you already know about us, but we're excited because we got business cards and big advertising magnets for the side of our van this week.  So if you want a few cards so that when your friends ask where you got the amazing fresh eggplant for that fantastic moussaka you served them, you can give them one, just ask
