September 4th Happening

Posted on September 4th, 2020 by Melinda Hollyfield

We have lots of exciting things happening on the farm. As you can see in the photo above, we've been checking on the ginger and turmeric – so close! 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

Winter CSA 2020/2021 : Sign ups are officially open! If you had auto-renew selected in your Harvie settings, you have been signed up automatically. You'll have 4 days to make any changes to your share before payments are processed. 

What's in the box:

  • Eggplant
  • Cucumbers
  • Arugula
  • Torpedo Onions
  • Summer Squash
  • Carrots

*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.
