We celebrated CSA Day 2018 on Good Day Kentucky with an interview by Dough High. Click here to see the news clip and learn more about our CSA.
CSA Day is February 22, 2019
On this day, we are joining with CSA farmers from across the country to celebrate CSA Day. According to Small Farm Central, this is the most popular day of the year to sign up for a CSA share and now is when we need your support. This is an important time of year for us to get new members signed up because we are in the process of making the investments that will result in a successful harvest many months from now. Our CSA would not be possible without your support. We are thankful for you and we love being your farmer.
