Sun, 20 May 2012 10:15:28 -0500WeeblyWed, 16 May 2012 23:32:39 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2012/05/first-post-this-year.htmlWe opened really early this year--April 1.  This is the first chance I have had to update the site!  We are adding products so fast that it will be another week or so before I get the Produce page or the Garden Products page updated.  I apologize, but I really appreciate your patience!  For those of you who have had a chance to stop by the stand, I hope you have enjoyed the upgrades we have done this year.  We have been working hard to get everything ready and have strawberries for you as well.  We know you are enjoying the strawberries!  Peach season started this week as well so we are stocking our wonderful sweet peaches now too!  And, BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND are the Crazy Lady's Strawberry/Peach cards!  BUY 10 quarts of strawberries or peaches, get one quart FREE!  Folks saved their cards from last year and others were asking about them so we are running this promotion again this year!  We are glad you like our version of "frequent flyer" cards.  

Everyone seems to be enjoying our Clearance section which I fondly call our "Scratch and Dent" section.  This is the section where we put our slightly bruised apples, cucumbers, eggplant, tomatoes, and squash at a drastically reduced price.  These veggies still can be eaten, they just aren't the prettiest to look at.  We also have the overripe bananas and the wrinkly peppers in our scratch and dent section.  These are both good for muffins or sautees respectively.  

We also hope to expand our selection of spices and our organic sections.  We are hearing what our customers are asking for and we are responding with positive (we think) changes.  Keep the suggestions coming and as long as we have room, we will see what we can do about getting you what you want. 

Hope to see you this weekend!  Denise ]]>Mon, 29 Aug 2011 15:33:54 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2011/08/post-title-click-and-type-to-edit2.htmlFor the first time this year, Crazy Lady’s Produce was closed due to Hurricane Irene!  Claire and Jo battened down the hatches on Friday night after closing!  As a result, the stand survived and we had no issues or damages from the storm!  We were very busy with everyone stopping by on Friday getting prepared for the storm.  Sunday folks stopped by to check on us to see how we fared. Thanks to all for your concern and support!

We also have a variety of nuts for your holiday baking needs; pecans, almonds, walnuts, and pistachios.  Yes!  I said HOLIDAY!   I couldn't believe the kids went back to school already so the holidays are right around the corner.  We wil be getting pumpkins, mums, and other fall plants in early September so be on the lookout here and on Facebook for my announcements on when we get those coming in!   

As I said, this summer just "whizzed" by me so quickly.  I didn't realize I hadn't upaded anyone on here or facebook since June!   did keep my promise to not send too many emails or to inundate everyone with information about the stand this summer.   i will try to keep you more up-to-date than every quarter.

Have a great week!   ]]>Mon, 06 Jun 2011 20:36:01 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2011/06/welcome-to-june.htmlCan you believe it is June already?  The kids are almost done with school and the heat of the summer has officially arrived.   Thank heaven for the fans and the cooler in the stand!  Crazy Lady's is getting in more and more local produce every day which is what everyone has been asking about!  We have local eggs, brocolli, squash, onions, cucumbers, blueberries, and strawberries.  All of the Bone Sucking Sauces, the jams, jellies, and salsas as well as the ciders are also coming from local producers and Mike's Honey is produced right here in Raleigh.  Crazy Lady's is also gong to start carrying Grendeddy Dave's BBQ Sauces which are produced in Wake Forest.  As always, Crazy Lady's, like her amazying customers, supports local growers as well as local merchants.  ]]>Mon, 06 Jun 2011 20:35:21 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2011/06/happy-mothers-day-to-all-our-moms-out-there-you-are-special.htmlWe hope your family gives you a wonderful day today!  You deserve it for all of those special things you do throughout the year.  Moms just seem to make everything more special with that extra loving touch.  Just think of all of the things that wouldn't get done, the practices that wouldn't get attended, the homework that wouldn't get done, the projects that wouldn't be exactly what you wanted, the wounds that wouldn't get cared for, the lunches that wouldn't get made, the field trips that wouldn't be possible, the vacations that were oh so fun, and the love that you know you have no matter what.  Be good to Mom today.  She is special in her own way.  ]]>Wed, 11 May 2011 11:55:48 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2011/05/happy-wednesday.htmlHope all of you are enjoyng this beautiful Wednesday!  Please come out and join us this weekend for some samples of some great ciders, jellies and some bone sucking sauces!   We will be offering samples in the "flower tent" so you can browse the plants while you munch on some goodies.  Hope to see you this weekend!]]>Tue, 19 Apr 2011 19:31:46 -0500http://crazylp.com/1/post/2011/04/strawberries-and-produce-for-you-this-year.htmlWith the Crazy Lady's Produce stand back in the parking lot at Taylor's Wine Shop, spring is back to 'normal' for me and lots of other folks who missed Crazy Lady's Produce over the winter.  If you have stopped by the stand recently you know that we not only have STRAWBERRIES and strawberry cider but Jo has all kinds of produce too--Thank you Bob!   Are you ready--in the fruit department; she has bananas, pineapples, and tomatoes all from Florida right now.  The tomatoes from North Carolina will be ready in a couple of weeks.  I will be letting you know when they will be available here on this blog and on Facebook!  In the vegetable department, she has baking potatoes and sweet potatoes, spring onions and Vidalia onions, yellow and zucchini squash, alongside green peppers.  Jo also has head lettuce, kale, and spinach in addition to eggplant, asparagus, and cucumbers.  So, last year, during this time when strawberries were the only fare available, customers have ALOT to choose from.   If you haven't yet, stop by and say hello--we are running a few other special programs too that you need to check out too!

Crazy Lady's Produce opens up for the season with Strawberries in just two short weeks, on April 16, 2011.  Like I said, we are going into this season with a positive outlook though we will be missing some old faces from last season.  We will be missing our friend Gail Cash from the store this year but we will look for ways to honor her memory throughout the season.  Please stop by, share a story, or  just catch up, and enjoy some sweet, juicy strawberries! 
See you in two!
The Crazy Ladys
