Cucumbers He has made a name for himself being one of - if not the only - strawberry farmers in the Northern Panhandle. His products can also be found at The Public Market in Wheeling, which is a great option for those who can't make it out to the farm. The farm offers pick-your-own sunflowers and zinnias when they are in season – and even a sunflower festival. He even offers products from other local producers, like honey from Windswept Farm. I endeavored to get a little bit of a sampling from everything that was available on my recent visit. That included some strawberry jam, some of the aforementioned, honey, some black raspberries and some strawberries. Those berries were some of the tastiest I've had in recent memory. The strawberries were so tiny, but packed with sweet flavor. The black raspberries were gone within minutes. What started as a quick nibble turned into me popping them into my mouth relentlessly. If you are so inclined, stop and check them out – every little bit helps as the drought takes its toll on our local farmers. Have you been yet?
