Greetings! Spring has officially arrived and our cucumber harvest is underway. Close to 200 boxes of cukes have been picked so far and are going out to fill orders. We also have a few in store and there are many more on the way! Artzi Farms of Thomasville is still harvesting beautiful beets, delicious sweet onions, and lovely Romaine lettuce, all of which you'll find in this week's CSA boxes. Ames Farm is happy to report that, despite some plants freezing, their cauliflower have recovered nicely from the last frost. Calamint Farms should have some adorable little radishes for your boxes next week. This week, in addition to Artzi's veggies, you'll find McClellan kale, potatoes, Florida citrus, and more perfect Bosc pears in your CSA boxes.
Don't forget our Spring Open House is next week to celebrate our cucumber harvest and the arrival of Spring. Swing by between 6 and 7:30 to sample our wares and mingle with our farmers. This is your chance to shake the hands that feed you and for us to get to know you better. We hope to see you there!
Until next week - stay healthy, shop local, and eat real food!

Greetings! We hope you all stayed nice and warm through the cold weather this week. Some of our farmers will have to put in some extra work to recover from the frost. Cauliflower caught some frost, but may still make it. McClellan Organics lost some peppers and will have to replant more squash. Luckily, our cucumbers stayed safe and warm in our greenhouses, and we start picking them tomorrow! ![]() This week we'd like to introduce you to our new friends at Strawberry Moon - a small, Certified Naturally Grown farm located in Monticello, Florida. You'll find their Romaine lettuce in our CSA boxes and in-store this week. This week's CSA shares also contain: onions from our friends at Artzi Organics in Thomasville; Florida-grown organic green beans, cabbage, celery, and grapefruit; potatoes and yams; and beautiful Bosc pears and blood oranges.
Keep in mind our Spring Open House is coming up at the end of March. We'll be celebrating our cucumber harvest and the arrival of Spring. This is your chance to meet our farmers and sample our wares, and our chance to get to know YOU better.
Until next week - stay healthy, shop local, and eat real food!
Greetings! We hope you're enjoying this bout of cooler weather before Spring officially arrives, we sure are. All the sunshine is helping move our cucumbers along and we're expecting our first harvest of the season in a couple weeks. This week's CSA share contains eggplant, grape tomatoes, romaine lettuce, citrus, collards, and kale. In store, we've restocked on hummus and pita from Pita Queen and more of those delicious Florida tomatoes we had last week. So far we've tried them as fried green tomatoes, a hearty pasta sauce, on sandwiches, and sliced with salt, pepper, and white balsamic vinegar.
