Welcome to the Against the Grain Farm Stand where you can pre-order for pick up at either Watauga Country Farmer's Market or at the farm for Saturday, May 30th. If you're reading this in an email, you'll see the items that we have to offer this week below. You can simply click on the yellow button "purchase from the farmstand" to reserve a box, make swaps and add extras to the base box that Harvie will put together for you. If you're reading this in the Harvie platform, navigate over to the "farm stand" to reserve your box.
The ordering period for Saturday pick-up closes at 8pm on Thursday, May 28th.
If you have any questions about your box or the farm stand process, please reach out to Holly directly by email at atgfarm@gmail.com or by phone at 828-406-4439. If you are having any difficulties placing your order or would like to confirm the contents of your box, please reach out to Holly. Her job on the farm is to help trouble shoot and double check orders for Farm Stand Customers. It is part of our mission that the food produced on the farm be easily accessible to members of our community. The Harvie system has proved challenging for many, so please don't feel embarrassed if it's not working well for you. Holly is here to help as best as she can!
It has always been one of the farm's deepest held beliefs that food is sacred nourishment for the whole human being. In this time when our collective human experience is undergoing major shifts, that belief is brought into sharp focus. In this time when so many things seem unsure, feeling confident and secure that the food we eat is grown safely, regeneratively and with love seems essential.
What a wild ride this spring has been! It roared in, warm and early in March, only to turn cool and rainy as the days have gotten longer. The plant life of the natural world is gaining so much vitality and momentum, as the Earth continues to breathe out, exhaling all the dreams of the long winter nights. There is so much unfolding and opening during this time on the farm, and we hope that this abundance resonates in your box of veggies.
Much love and happy eating,
Holly, Andy and the ATG Crew
