Give us feedback on your growing experiences!

We are most anxious to hear about what’s up (or ripe) in your garden or on your farm. Both growers and home gardeners are finding Harris Seeds varieties are rapidly becoming favorites for the family table or at the farm market.

Just recently we received photos and a letter from a grower in the Northeast who said that Primo Red is the finest fresh market tomato he has ever grown. It has great size, earliness and wonderful eating quality. Not all new tomato hybrids can boast of the same.

If any of you folks out there have some information and photos to share with us, please send them along. With your permission, we might publish some of these testimonials in our catalogs or newsletters.

If you can send them via e-mail at: growers@harrisseeds.com.

It’s one great corn!

Our Mr. Mini Mirai sweet corn variety is really taking off in Rochester. A local wholesale distributor, Giambrone Foods, is featuring it in his August promotions as the very best sweet corn variety available today. He has placed it with the finest private golf courses and restaurants in the area and the patrons and chefs are raving about the quality of Mr. Mini Mirai. They love it because it also fits on a serving plate.

Harris Seeds was at the Rochester Public Market on Saturday, August 21^st from 11AM to 1 PM offering free taste tests to the visitors at the market. During the taste tests, we heard nothing but praise for the eating quality of Mr. Mini Mirai. We also had 50 households sign up to receive a free sample in the mail to test on their dinner tables. We will be publishing more information on what we learn from this new sweet corn product launch, so stay tuned.

Those wonderful farmers’ markets!

For the folks that live in the northern tier of the country, farmers’ markets are about at peak with product offerings. August is a big month for all kinds of vegetables, cut flowers and a host of other related products – all found at farmers’ markets. These markets are growing in the USA at an unprecedented rate, and there seems to be no stopping this phenomenal expansion.

We try to get out and visit as many local markets as possible, but for the few that we can encounter, there are thousands more across the country that we will not. This is where you can help us. If you have a favorite local farmers’ market that you frequent on a regular basis, we would like to hear your story. Please take some photos and tell us what your farmers’ market is all about. We would like to use these stories in future newsletters and in our catalogs as well. If you have something you would like to share with us, please contact us at growers@harrisseeds.com.

Thanks in advance for your help.
