Last weekend for 35% off plants!

There’s still time to add lettuce, basil, peppers and more to your garden and containers — our 35% food plant sale ends Sunday at 5 p.m.

Eggplants have arrived!

From the portly purple fruit we all grew up with to less-familiar white, pink, Asian, round and petite varieties, Morning Glory has eggplants in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. The round ones are an Italian heirloom called Prosperosa, traditionally used for parmigiana.

Farm chef Gus Paquette-Whall roasts basic eggplants to whip up his baba ganoush, a Middle Eastern appetizer we have been enjoying at the farm so much that we asked him if we might share the recipe with you. Pared to 1/9 the size he makes for the farmstand, it’s posted on our website at morninggloryfarm.com/eggplant-recipe-chef-guss-baba-ganoush/.

If you’d like to see what Chef Gus and the bakery have in store for you on any given day, visit our Daily Menu page for a list of pies, soups, breads, treats and more. It’s worth bookmarking!

Corn, corn, corn!

Sweetness. Temptress. … Harris 1001. The names of corn varieties can be appealing or dull, but each strain is different. Temptress, for instance, has a tapered tip that helps discourage unwelcome pests. Some varieties are best suited to hot weather, others don’t mind shorter late-season days, and so on.

Throughout the sweet corn season, you’ll see many different varieties that we have planted in order to provide you with a consistent supply of high-quality ears, week to week and month to month.

Come see what we are harvesting lately, and check out our list of the best recipes for sweet corn!
