| Each year we host farm events here at Jones Creek Farms. Come visit the farm at one of these events and see, taste and touch where your food comes from. We will be honored to have you. As the seasons get closer we will post the current years dates and times.
Mid May to end of May Tomato days We open the farm up for folks to come out and learn about tomato growing. Our tomato plant sales are in full swing, at the farmers markets, by now and on these days we will have a full selection of these varieties as well as some test varieties that we don't take to the markets.
June: 2009 - June 27 Basil festival . This is the time of year when The Basil plants have the best chance of survival. Our Basil plant sales at the farmers markets are in full swing and we invite you to come out to the farm to purchase your Basil and experience a few of our planting techniques as well as learn from Talea's famous Pesto cooking demonstrations.
Mid August: Garlic / Tomato Festival 2009 - August 15 There will be garlic tasting of many varieties, food and fun as well as Talea's famous cooking demonstrations with garlic, basil, tomatoes and whatever else is ripe and ready to eat. The Tomato part will include tastings of all our Tomato varieties as well as giving you the opportunity to tour our growing areas. We should also have our "spring" blend fresh apple cider.
