Farm Happenings, Week of July 25, 2022

Posted on July 22nd, 2022 by Melinda Hollyfield

Hey CSA Family!

We hope you're doing well! We are nearing the end of July, which means the heat of the Summer is in full swing. We are working hard every day to make sure that our crops and livestock have everything they need to thrive. That often means extra work and finesse from our farmers. When you're enjoying your organic veggies and/or grass-fed meat this week, take a moment to thank our farmers for their effort and dedication to the health of our crops, animals, land, and community. We love you!

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

Malabar Spinach

Sweet Peppers

Cucumbers

Jalapeño Peppers

Summer Squash

Bunching Onions

Eggplant

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!
