Farm Update for week of May 16th


Hello! Hurray for the rain! We have been enjoying all of the rain here on the farm, the veggies love it! It also makes weeding a whole lot easier! There are a few more things available this week, and the time for delivery/pick-up will be 5-6 pm at the same location inWilkesboro. This week, May 18th, we have:


Green Onions - $3/bunch
Garlic Greens - $2/bunch
Lettuce - $2/head (green leaf and romaine)
Loose Leaf Lettuce Mix - $3/bag (1/2 lb bags)
Sunflower Shoots - $3/bag
Tomatoes - kidding!
Radishes - on sale this week for $1/bunch (Cherriette)

Fresh Herbs - $1.50/bunch (Dill, Flat Leaf Italian Parsley)

The best soap around is also available, as well as lip balm, lotions, facial care items, and bug spray!

Last Thursday evening we started participating in the Blowing Rock Farmers Market. It went very good, and I believe that it will only get better! There are a lot of people in that area that are very motivated in supporting local food.
We plan on having chicken ready for the 2nd CSA delivery, June 1st. If you would like your chickens not to be frozen, please arrange to make a pick up on the evening of the 31st. Please let us now if that is your plan so we can set up a time for you. All other chickens will be frozen and ready for purchase starting June 1st. Those of you that took advantage of the Early Commitment Promotion, we can have those be available at the June 1st. delivery/pick-up between 5-6pm, otherwise please email for on farm pick-up on a different date.

Thank you for all of your support!

Dale and Cory and all the little farmers here at Harmony Acres!

Hi -

It's Melinda again. I met you last week when I picked up eggs, spinach and onions at Green Mother Goods in Boone. I gave you my e-mail address so I could receive your Friday e-mails, but I didn't get one yesterday. Maybe you didn't get the address right? It's simmonm12000@yahoo.com. Looking forward to getting next Friday's e-mail! Thanks.
