Welcome to the first week of the Rise 'N Shine Main Season!

Farm Happenings for April 15, 2019
We finally have some strawberries! They'll be in full swing in another week and as it continues to get warmer and sunnier their flavor will get even better. The first pick always tastes to me a bit like they developed in cold, wet weather which they did!
This is the LAST WEEK of the cool... read more »

Farm Happenings for March 11, 2019
Rain, rain go away! We really need it to dry out soon so we can plow the fields and start planting outside. But we are staying busy planting in the high tunnels and fencing in 9 acres for our chickens. Our farm road is so bad that we get stuck regularly in a couple bad spots. It was completely... read more »
Farm Happenings for March 7, 2019
The strawberry plants survived the flood! They look really good after being under water for several days. I'm very surprised. Other times we have flooded strawberries or other crops they have completely died back but then resprouted green leaves. My guess is that they were not under... read more »

About the farm
Rise 'N Shine Farm is a certified organic produce farm in Northwest Georgia between Calhoun and Rome. It is currently taking sign ups for its Main Season CSA Program. The Main Season goes from April 22nd through November 15th for a total of 30 weeks. Visit https://risenshineorganicfarm.com/what-we-grow-and-when/ for a list of what we harvest in each season. Items from other farms are not always certified organic such as apples, grits, honey and more. Our eggs are not certified organic but the hens are pastured and fed a non-GMO diet. Additionally our onions are not certified organic because viable organic onion seedlings are unavailable but we grow them using the same methods as our certified organic crops.
