Due to the Spring rains, Cottrell Country Farm planted their okra very late in the season. However, it turned out to be a blessing. While most home grown okra is over by now, our okra is flurishing. The plants are over six feet tall. I’ve even had to start topping the plants. The mild, sometimes hot, Fall weather has continued to make our okra flower. I’m harvesting sometimes twice a day. This year, I planted three types of okra, burgundy, cow horn, and Clemson. All have a wonderful taste, no matter how you cook your okra. The Hillsboro Farmers market will end at the end of October, so come and get our okra while they last. Our okra is farm raised and chemical free.
