Posh Market Garden is Open for Business
I feel fortunate to be able to partner with Blaine’s Farm Store. So, if you live in Palisade and you want to purchase some fresh produce from the Posh Market Garden visit Blaine’s… Or reach out to me and buy directly from your friendly neighborhood farmer! Either way you support our local farming community and that is always a good thing!

Andy and I built our first Hoop House during our Spring Break ‘staycation’!
Planting a Mini Orchard
