Hey CSA Family!
This week we are welcoming our two Summer Research Students from Skidmore College. These students will continue our several multi-year research projects, including tracking our soil carbon inventory, assessing the health and growth of our chestnut trees, engaging with our corn breeding trials (shown above is Emme planting this year's unique corn varieties), and continuing our ecological monitoring program with a focus on analyzing the diversity of forages in our pastures. We are so excited to have them!
This week is also the first week of eggplant harvest! We are just a few weeks away from tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Summer is right around the corner!
Be sure to check out our "extras" this week, which you can add to your cart during the customization period. This week, we are offering organically raised eggs, and handcrafted and organically grown teas, tinctures, and elixirs from local Nashville herbalist The Healing Oracle Herbal Apothecary. Check them out! These extras make great gifts -- father's day is coming up!
