Special Thanksgiving Basket

November 19, 2011

This week's harvest:

Spinach
Lettuce
Kale
Green choice: Arugula, Green Mustard, Collards
Carrots
Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes
Butternut Squash
Garlic
Salad Turnips
Daikon Radish - free choice

This week's farm news:

It was a mostly quiet week here on the farm, aside from a small birthday party for little Miss Opal. It was especially quiet without Jesse and Hannah here. Boy, we sure miss them!

...And speaking of those two dears... They stopped by the farm on their way north to pick up the remainder of their things. We all had a lovely visit. Apparently, as they were leaving the farm they stopped by the gardens one last time to pick some veggies and, well, they also got engaged!!! Wow! Isn't that just the sweetest news! What a grand finale to their internships!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Thanksgiving Baskets

Here's a reminder that we are offering a Thanksgiving basket this Saturday November 19th. We will be at the West Nashville Farmers Market from 9am-12noon (if you need to come earlier we will be setting up at 8am). You can pay for your basket when you pick it up. $25 for small, $40 medium, $55 for the new "family basket" (equals a small plus a medium). NOTICE we will not be coming for 3 weeks after this (December 10th) so do consider a larger than usual basket.

Here's what you may find in your Thanksgiving basket:
Kale, Arugula, Lettuce, Sweet Potatoes, Red Potatoes, Garlic, Butternut Squash, Salad Turnips, Carrots, Collards or Mustard Greens, and maybe Spinach.

If you're interested, PLEASE let us know what size basket you want by calling us at 270-457-2847.

Thanks and see you Saturday!
Eric

Greens Choice: Kale, Green Mustard, Red Mustard, Arugula (small shares pick 1, medium shares pick 2)

This week's farm news:

Well, folks, today wraps up this season's fall share! Thanks to all of you who participated!! We'll be back again next Saturday for a special "Thanksgiving Basket". Please let us know if you are interested... either by putting your name on our list at the market or by responding to the email that we'll be sending out early next week. The cost will be: $25/small, $40/medium, or $55/family-size. We would feel so honored for our veggies to be part of your Thanksgiving feasts!

We enjoyed our last week with our dear interns, Jesse and Hannah, here on the farm. We cannot thank them enough for such a wonderful season and all of their hard work and commitment! They have especially touched the lives of our children (and, I think, have equally been touched by our children!) We are so grateful and thankful and we wish them many, many blessings!

Bok Choi
Lettuce
Kale
Parsley
Sweet Potatoes
Butternut Squash
Garlic
Salad Turnips
Greens Choice: Red Lettuce, Red Mustard, Arugula, Green Mustard, Collards (small shares pick one, medium shares pick two)

This week's farm news:

So, folks, believe it or not, but next Saturday is our final fall share basket! That went by fast! We were planning to take Saturdays the 19th & 26th off, and then begin bringing winter veggies Dec. 3rd. However, Eric has just agreed to give a talk at the local food summit at Lipscomb U. that first weekend in December. So we are changing our plans and will be offering a "Thanksgiving Basket" for Saturday, November 19. We will then begin bringing winter veggies Sat. Dec. 10. The Thanksgiving Basket, as well as all winter baskets, will be on a pay-by-the-week basis. The cost will be $25/small, $40 medium, and $55/family-size. We still have so much growing in the garden, we would love to get you stocked up for Thanksgiving! We sure hope you will make plans to join us on the 19th.
