First delivery May 15th

Hey everybody! We just wanted to update everyone on the delivery schedule. The first delivery will be Saturday, May 15th. We wanted to start this Saturday the 8th, but the flooding has seriously hampered the situation. The first delivery will be to the West Nashville Farmer's Market. We will send a reminder email out early next week. We look forward to sharing spinach, chard, lettuce, green garlic, and arugula with you. Eric, Cher, Ira, Opal, and Olivia

And for anyone who missed it, there's a great article on the local CSAs in Nashville, click here for the recent coverage in the Nashville Scene.

Also, I'm just catching up on my email after being out town and then without internet access. Here's an earlier email from the farmers about flooding on the farm:

We hope everyone is doing OK with all the flooding. We had the worst flooding to date on our farm this weekend. Nearly up to the floor joists, ruined everything in the cold cellar, set the intern camper afloat and flooded the barn. That said, we are all fine and surely less impacted that others. We hope to let everyone know very soon about whether we will be in Nashville this weekend. Just thought we'd send out good thoughts to everyone and hope all is well.

Hello Everyone,
It's likely the first delivery will be Saturday, May 8th (9 days from now). It is also looking like the Nashville delivery point will be at the West Nashville Farmers Market. We will send out a confirmation email early next week.
Can't wait to see everyone!

See us this Saturday at Earth Day and the Meetinghouse

Bugtussle Farm will be at the Nashville Earth Day Celebration (Centennial Park) this Saturday from 11-7 in the farmer's section. Please stop by and say hello. We will also be at the meetinghouse from 9:15 to 10:15 with eggs ($4.50/doz or 5 doz for $20).

Please remember this is the last month for regular share prices; they will go up by $25 after May 1. We are still running our referral special ($50 off a fall share or 10 dozen eggs for anyone you refer for a small share; $100 off a fall share or 20 dozen eggs for a medium share) for the remainder of April.

See you Saturday!

Eggs on Thursday

On Saturday we sold 105 dozen eggs in 80 minutes, so "thanks" everyone who came. We will be bringing more Eggs and Squash with us on Thursday (Nashville Meetinghouse, 5:30 to 6:30 pm). Please stop by as we will have extra of both.

For the month of April, all current shareholders who refer a new shareholder will be eligible for a recruitment bonus!
If the person you refer gets a small share, you will be eligible for $50 off a fall share or 10 dozen eggs (all at once or split into increments).
If the person you refer gets a medium share, you will be eligible for $100 off a fall share or 20 dozen eggs.

See you Thursday,
Your Farmers

More eggs this Saturday

Hello Everyone,

We are coming to Nashville this coming Saturday, March 27, with LOTS of eggs. We will be at the meetinghouse from 10 am to noon. Eggs are $4.50/doz or 5 doz for $20.
If you are a current shareholder and you buy eggs, you can have as much butternut squash and sweet potatoes as you want for no charge!

Special note for those who missed eggs last time: We have many more eggs this time and we don’t foresee selling out but, if you did miss out last time, maybe come a little earlier this time to ensure that you get some.

We still have plenty of shares left.

See you Saturday,
Eric

Eggs and more this Saturday!

Hi Folks,
We will be at the meetinghouse this Saturday, Feb 27, from 10-12 with LOTS of eggs. They are 4.50/doz or 5 doz for $20 and will keep for several months in your refrigerator. If you haven't already done so, check out our website page on the difference between our eggs and commercial eggs.
Anyone who purchases eggs may, for free, take as much butternut squash and sweet potatoes as they want (otherwise, they are $1.50/lb).
Finally, we have plenty of shares left, so please spread the word. If you haven't already, you can also sign up this Saturday.
See you soon,
Eric
