Is this info accurate? Being a farmer myself, I have burlap bags like this and this item sort of bridges the gaps of my job and my love for the Babe!

I was just curious if anyone knew anymore info on these bags. Approximate rarity, dates, etc....

A little off topic but what kind of a farmer are you?

I grow hydroponic produce for a living in a greenhouse.

fruits, vegetables and pine (Christmas) trees. My family farms around 1100 acres. We do a lot of pick your own crops also.

I have a small 40'X76' greenhouse and in season have about 1 acre outside. Kept it small so I can do it all myself. I sell at 3 Farmers markets and to 1 grocery store.

To keep it a little on topic that is a cool Ruth item.

Very nice, that's great you do it all yourself, We have pretty big market that we sell most of our stuff direct from. Plus we open some fields up for the pick your own with a number of crops.
