Hey CSA Family!
Summer is rolling forth at the farm. We are looking forward to the rain this weekend -- it's been too long without it.
On Friday, June 24 we planted sweet potatoes! We can't wait for yall to try the sweet potato greens -- they'll be heading to your CSA boxes in a few months. They are great for salads, stir-fries and stews. And, of course, we cannot wait for the fall tuber harvest. Sweet potatoes are a true gem of the Earth, and we're so grateful and excited to grow them.
Be sure to check out our "extras" this week, which you can add to your cart during the customization period. This week, we are offering organically raised eggs from Maypop Farmstead, and handcrafted and organically grown teas, tinctures, and elixirs from local Nashville herbalist The Healing Oracle Herbal Apothecary. Check them out! These extras make great gifts -- father's day is coming up!
For our Veggie CSA members, here are the organic veggies that you'll find in this week’s CSA box:
Cornmeal
Purple Top Turnips
Fennel
Kale or Chard
Eggplant or Jalapeños
"Taste of Summer" :)
Kohlrabi
Bunching Onions
Sweet Potatoes
Cucumbers or Summer Squash
For our Grass-fed Meat CSA members, as always, you'll have access to this week's select cuts of 100% grass-fed beef, 100% grass-fed lamb, and pasture-raised pork. Use the customization period to ensure you're getting the cuts you'll both use and enjoy!
A few things to keep in mind:
- Please double check your delivery schedule to be sure you know when and where to pick up your CSA. When you arrive to your CSA pick-up location, please check in with the staff so they can mark you down for the pickup!
- For Veggie CSA members: The veggies in the Summer CSA are not customizable. Each member will receive the same veggies each week. However, you can use the customization period to add "extras" to your order. Try some organically raised eggs or organic teas and tinctures made by a local artisan!
Let us know what you're cooking on our Caney Fork Farms CSA Facebook group and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with farm happenings!
