Today's the first day of ramp.selling season for us.

I also have farm.fresh eggs for sale and a few commercially produced ramp items..like ramp mustard and ramp barbecue sauce for sale.

They're produced by a wv veteran commercially and the ramps he uses come from us.

Calvin, thw guy that makes the products was our first ramp.customer and he regularly buys from us weekly.

Wish us luck!

The first time I had ramps was at Cass WV, I was mid fifties. I brought some home and a friend of my grand daughter ate all my ramps. I have pickled them many times. Do you think dehydrating them would give a better flavor? Do you sell them any where near I79?

Bother told me today that ramps are up here.
Have to go look for myself!
If they're just poking up, they're close but not ready.

I bought some land last year in WV. Its about 5 min from Riggs place, I just met his dad a couple weeks ago. Local stores were out of ramp mustard. Stopped in his place for a jar. Hour and a half later we left with a bunch of stuff and his dad gave us a tour.

Dehydrating makes the flavor more intense, imo.

I just checked on mine today. They're the ones you sent me last year. I can't believe that you're ahead of me in WV but you sure are. I checked on them a week ago and only found 2 that were just breaking ground. Today I only checked the nearest patch of them, but there was about 6-7 of them... most of them just barely peeking up. I'll give it another week and then check both patches... by then I should be able to tell how many of them survived.

Does the guy that sells the ramp mustard and stuff have a website?

I've diversified..im.now selling bulbs and pickled ramps too.

Jerry is digging his nuts off I ca tell ya that.

He's dug over a ton of ramps this season.

We're at 16,000 but I've figured put a way to extend our season.

We aold.aome at a ramp dinner last weekend.

I sold 620.00 worth of ramps and ramps and ramp products in 4 hours

Best part was more than half of the money came from pickled ramps, canned ramps and weiners and ramperroni rolls..


.jerry didnt think any of that would sell and it sold like hot cakes.

I have orders for 3 dozen jars of pickled ramps and I can sell more than that.

I'm also selling bulbs and will xtend our season by selling seeds as well.

They're crazy expensive online.

Leaks and ramps are same thing depending on regions and what the locals call them. Here in Western NY you hear both names
