Farm Happenings, Week of July 4

Posted on July 1st, 2022 by Melinda Hollyfield

Hey CSA Family!

We hope you are all doing well! The ups and downs of farming in 2022 grow stronger with each passing day. The social distress makes growing good food more meaningful, though ecological and climatic distress makes growing good food more challenging. Though through it all, we persist. We are dedicated to stewarding the land to grow high quality, nutrient-dense foods for you and your loved ones. 

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!

For our Veggie CSA members, here are the organic veggies that you'll find in this week’s CSA box: 

Tomatoes

Basil

Cornmeal

Eggplant

Peppers

Malabar Spinach

Kale or Chard

Bunching Onions

Summer Squash

Cucumbers

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!
