TRACTOR CSA Week 17 - September 24, 2020

Posted on September 18th, 2020 by Becca Smith

Meet Chris Deyton

Chris began growing produce roughly three years ago when TRACTOR provided him the opportunity do so, and now he grows exclusively for TRACTOR. Chris’ works full time with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, creating unique time-related challenges for his growing season. He, therefore, selects his crops based to supply minimal variations in harvesting periods. Having raised cattle, tobacco, and Christmas trees while growing up, Chris is embarking on a new adventure growing produce. He farms with the help of his brother Steve and wife Amy. They do all the harvesting on the farm by hand. Both brothers said that they love growing in this area because of the climate, the mountains makes the long days in the sun just a bit cooler.

Check out the extras!    

At TRACTOR we are beginning to work with a wider variety of farmers, other than just vegetable producers. Check out some of the other great local products available for purchase as extras in your share each week.

Don't Forget Your Bag!   

Please remember to return your red bags each week at pick up. This helps us keep costs down. The farmers would also appreciate it if you return your egg cartons. We will make sure that they make it back to the farmers.
