We talked about peas in last month’s newsletter, about how the pea plant family (Fabaceae) is 20,000-species strong, how they’re great companion plants, and how springtime in NC means a number of varietals are ripe for the picking.

Sure enough, we spotted a few of these loopy legumes on the Piedmont Farm Tour a few weeks ago at @gardenatspringforest and @urbancommunityagrinomics at Catawba Trail Farm. AND they’ve finally reached our availability — 🫛 Certified Organic Garden Peas from Cottle Organics and 🫛 Sugar Snap Peas from Wise Farms.
