Farm Happenings for August 1, 2023

Posted on July 28th, 2023 by Melinda Hollyfield

Greetings CSA members!

Happy summer and happy eating! 

Here on the farm, we are grateful that our animals are healthy, for the rain and sunshine, the good work we get to do, & being greeted every day by Teddy. Our farm dog who is always wearing a big smile and a waggy tail.

We have been busy with the abundance that summer gives us. And it’s comin' in hot hot hot, y'all. Our heat loving plants are happy and thriving - which is great news if you love tomatoes. The gardens are bursting at the seams with yummy veggies, waiting to make it to your kitchen.

With the diverse contents of you meat CSA, every meal will be both flavorful and intriguing. Indulge with excitement knowing you are nourished with omega 3 fatty acids in every bite. This essential part of a healthy diet benefits your body and mind. While grass-fed meat is inevitably leaner than grain-finished, the fat is more nutrient dense. To make this even better, grass-fed meats contain up to 5x more Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which prompts fat burning and muscle building. The best part? The animals are happy and the land is improving from our grazing practices. 

     Whether it be for breakfast or dinner, we love feeding you! 

We are so thankful for each one of our members and to keep growing! 

We'll see you all next week! Don’t forget to bring back your bags, we'll reuse them!
