Farm Happenings for July 15, 2019
The 'drenched in sweat by 8 AM' days are here! It seems impossible to drink enough water. We are finally getting a little bit of much needed rain, but it's a double edged sword. Great for the crops but it keeps the humidity up. It feels like we are working in a sauna, but somewhere... read more »

The summer crops are coming in great right now. The corn and melons should be ready within a few weeks as well as cucumbers as long as we can continue to keep the deer and raccoons out of them. Farming would be so much easier if it weren't for the deer!

Farm Happenings for June 13, 2019
It's a jungle in there! Our high tunnel tomatoes are looking great! Yes there is a person standing in there. We have since trellised them more to tame the jungle into walls of tomatoes.

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.
