Hey CSA Family!
Lots of exciting things happening this week at Caney Fork Farms. Tera planted a few rows of hibiscus! This gorgeous plant will flower next year -- and you may see some hibiscus tea in your CSA next year! Our cows, sheep, and pigs continue to move throughout our pastures. And, in exciting bird news, Shaylan saw SEVEN Northern Bobwhites this week. This is an incredible sighting -- a sign that our conservation-focused land management strategies are working to create habitat for rare birds. The bird in this week's photo is a juvenile Prothonotary Warbler.
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!

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!
