August 28th Happening

Posted on August 28th, 2020 by Melinda Hollyfield

We have lots of exciting things happening on the farm. Many delicious fall greens have been planted for our Winter CSA, such as carrots, beets, arugula, radicchio, cabbage and more. We recently sent in our first group of steers that were bred, born and raised here on Caney Fork Farms. That is an exciting milestone for us. We are also thrilled to offer bulk beef for sale. That means you purchase a share of a cow and choose the cuts you want, and we coordinate the transportation and harvest with the butcher. This is by far the most affordable way to purchase 100% grass-fed beef. Learn more on our website

Auto-Renew Reminder: As a convenience, all members are automatically set up for auto-renew on Sept. 4th. If you do not wish to participate in the CSA next season, go to your Harvie settings and turn auto-renew off.

What's in the box:

  • Onions (Bunching or Torpedo)
  • Peppers
  • Habanada Peppers
  • Melons
  • Herbs
  • Hot Peppers
  • Beets
  • Carrots
  • Lettuce

*The harvest list is always tentative. The garden decides what's in the box. 

Special note about extras: Harvie will only allow you to order extras if you have a meat CSA share. This week I will try to accommodate extra orders for Veggie CSA members if you reply to this email, and if inventory allows. Please note that extras are received from vendors on Monday/Tuesday. If your delivery is later in the week, we cannot guarantee optimal freshness.
