Farm Happenings for April 2, 2020

Farm Happenings for March 2, 2020
The picture shows a nice cover crop of winter rye and radishes. The radishes are the pretty white flowers. If we get some warmer days soon I think the bees are gonna jump on that! Cover crops are great for building organic matter, reducing weeds and feeding soil biota. Now if we can... read more »
Farm Happenings for February 24, 2020

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.
