Today’s weather and is brought to you exclusively by:
The new farm market at a.m. Fog in Afton.
Don’t you just love it when you see folks doing something good…No I mean really good. moving some place, taking a leap of faith, and doing in their heart what they know’s right. That’s Ken and Yvonne Harris. They’ve made Afton and the Rockfish Valley their home. Heck, they’re already raising the next generation of Harris’ now. Farming and farming right is the way they do things.
At a.m. Fog on the Nelson-Albemarle County Line along Route 151 in Afton. They’re as close to the farm as you can get with plenty of fresh meats and vegetables.
They tell me right now they have veggie start, 6 kinds of lettuce. spinach, kale, brocoli, cabbage. And soon they’ll have 26 types of heirloom tomatoes, sweet peppers, and a big selection of HOT HOT HOT HOT, did I say HOT, YIKES! peppers!
They’ve already got; asparagus, lettuce, cucumbers, STRAWBERRIES, strawberry onions (the best!!!), roasting potatoes, Idaho potatoes, carrots, green peppers, farm eggs, meat, and fresh baked bread.
And yea, they still have my favorite the trusty:
-Local “Happy Steer†Hormone and Antibiotic Free Meat
-Local Hormone & Antibiotic Free Chicken
Not to mention all of the other vegetables, annual, and perennial plants along with fruit trees ready for the spring planting! It’s time!
That new beautiful farm market is OPEN FOR BUSINESS NOW, and before long stop in for hot teas, coffee, muffins, and bread while you take a look around.
Visit them on the web at www.amfog.net or call them at 540-456-7100.

Finally we got a warmer day Wednesday. Today will certainly top yesterday temperature wise. We’ll easily make the low & mid 70’s in the valley. So, it’s perfect to head on over the the RVCC to their consignment sale that begins this afternoon at 3PM until 7PM. It runs for the next three days after that ending on Sunday May 4th at 4PM. I have to tell you I was over there earlier in the week talking to Bo Holland, the RVCC manager, and there’s lots of stuff to pick from and the prices are right! We’ll see you there!
Like I just mentioned, today will be a very nice one, though by the afternoon it will become windy. Not so bad, we need just one more day to finally knock all of those maple tree whirly birds down! Thankfully, just one last gutter cleaning until the fall!
Friday promises to be even nicer with temps in the mid 80’s valley and mid 70’s mountains.
Thunderstorms are in the forecast by Saturday.
