Less daylight everyday, but our veggies got to grow with the sun in September and October, so they're going to start "coasting" a bit. Naomi, our Assistant Garden Manager, is pictured above harvesting sweet and crunchy red round radishes from one of our high tunnels. We covered over 25 beds of veggies with fiberglass hoops and frost blankets to protect them from our 1st heavy frost. We fully drained all freeze sensitive irrigation parts last week, but we didn't even get down below freezing. Lots of work, but the sweet, fresh veggies are worth it. We're thankful for the beautiful sunshine and healthy crops and a great harvest for our great members!
MEMBER Alert. We have a smaller farm crew for this winter. Winter CSA Season. Look for an email for sign ups soon. We will have a 1 time beef plus a 1 time pork share December 10th/11th for ALL locations.
Winter Veggie Boxes will be Morganton focused, and we will have fewer Veggie Boxes available in the winter months. Morganton folks: look for an email to sign up for our winter veggie box season. It will be December- mid February. We hope to have a few veggie boxes for Charlotte members this winter, and we will be bringing big piles of certain veggies to the Charlotte Regional Market every Saturday (except holiday weeks). Hickory folks: we'll have meat shares and a chance to order veggies for December 10th, and we'll be back in January + February.
