This summer has been so trying on our faith.  I say this because like you, we had hoped and prayed for an abundance of vegetables to feed our CSA members and ourselves.  But that didn’t come.  Or at least with the summer vegetables it didn’t.  And, we’ve been reminded these past few weeks that just because we are praying for an abundance doesn’t mean God will grant that to us.  He supplies us with what we need, Not what we want.  That is so hard to cope with sometimes.  Also, in times like this, He draws us near to strengthen us in our faith.  GodRead More →

I had hoped to get this newsletter out last Friday morning, but that of course didn’t happen.  I quickly realized that I wasn’t going to be able to finish the newsletter and harvest everything for the CSA.  Well, I just want to let all of the members know that this isn’t going to happen again, hopefully.  From now on I will have the newsletter completed and sent to your inbox by Thursday evening.  I was at the Tailgate Market Saturday and my wife was at the Belmont Fresh Market.  We had a few radishes and fresh free ranged eggs to sell at the Belmont FreshRead More →

CSA Starts soon but………. Later than expected!! Our first CSA pick up date has been pushed back one more week to May 9, 2009. This past week has been crazy on the farm.  We finally received the break we needed to get things planted.  It has been very hard this year to follow my planting schedule due to the wet weather.  I missed many of my planting dates.  Now that the weather has stabilized a bit, I have been able to finally get things back on schedule as much as possible.  I do still worry that because of the wet early spring and not beingRead More →

Currently, there are still CSA shares available for our 2009 season. Click here for more info about our CSA.  We will let you know when there aren’t any more shares available.  Sign up for a CSA share today! Making the commitment to eat local, seasonal produce is a very important thing.  It really helps you to get to know your local farmers and understand what goes into growing the food you eat.  Your food doesn’t travel thousands of miles to get to your table when you buy from small family farms.  It normally travels less than 50 miles.  Also,when you buy locally, you are helpingRead More →

We will be more than happy to deliver some fresh eggs to you.Read More →

I hope we didn’t miss too many customers today at the Charlotte Tailgate Market.  We tried getting to the market but due to the marathon that was taking place, all roads leading to the market were blocked. We will be at the Market next Saturday, December 20, 2008. If anyone needs any eggs or pecans before next Saturday, we do have them available here at the farm.  Please call before you come to make sure we still have them available and are not sold out.Read More →
