#csaweek

Friends in the Corbin KY Tri-County area, today is the last day of #csaweek and there is something exciting for those of you that live in Barbourville that may want to support @oldhomeplacefarm as a shareholder in the 2021 CSA. The farm added a pick up location in Barbourville at the The Ugly Mug Coffee House at 103 Knox Street, Barbourville, KY 40906. Should you choose to join the CSA Orders will be dropped off at The Ugly Mug Coffee House at 1:00pm on Tuesdays. Your order will be placed on a table inside the coffee house, labeled with your name. You must pick up your order by closing time (6:00pm) on Tuesday. I wanted to share one last peek at SOME the marvelous goodness I was blessed with last Summer ad Fall. I am so excited about this coming season. With that said, pray for Maggie and Will as well as all our area farmers as they all face the flooding of their fields this weekend and more this coming week with more rain. So... Today is the FINAL DAY of National CSA Week and the final day receive a free dozen eggs when you sign up for a CSA. Yes, you can still sign up later this spring, but you'll be missing out on the eggs and the entry to win a free Old Homeplace Farm t shirt.

Don't forget everyone! @oldhomeplacefarm is celebrating National CSA Sign-up Week on Feb 21-28th. I love this farm because they have made my culinary life an adventure with all the new veggie we got to enjoy last year! I have shared some photos of the flowers, cheese, fruit and veggies we were blessed with over the last two seasons (I did both the Summer share and the Fall share for 2020). SO what did I do with all that goodness? Here are some of the photos of dishes I made. I used the roasted tomatoes to make wonderful spaghetti sauce and the pesto was made using the basil from my shares. Just think! You could be having these adventures in cooking too! Join me in supporting an awesome local farmer. Sign up for a CSA membership now: www.oldhomeplacefarm.com #CSAWeek Every person that signs up for a CSA during CSA week will receive a free dozen eggs from our farm. And everyone that signs up for a CSA during CSA week, plus everyone that has already signed up for a 2021 CSA, will be entered into a drawing to win a new Old Homeplace Farm t shirt (we will give away 2 on March 1st).

Just a reminder I am helping celebrate #CSAWeek, National CSA Sign-up Week, now through February 28th. It's the most popular time of the year to sign up for a CSA farm membership. To learn more, go to https://www.oldhomeplacefarm.com/csa There are many good reasons to be part of Community Supported Agriculture. The variety and quality of vegetables and fruits like I talked about yesterday is a big one for me. The biggest one though is I wanted to be part of the farm community somehow. I am not a farmer. I don’t have the skills or the patience to be a farmer. They deserve TONS of respect and small local farmers don’t get enough of it. The government favors large farms and by purchasing a share at the beginning of the season we are helping equip a small farm to do what they do best: feed our community and be good stewards of the land. As a result, we have satisfaction in knowing that we’re helping our local economy thrive. @oldhomeplacefarm offers a wide variety of shares. Small, medium and large veggie shares, flower shares, cheese shares and meat shares too. New this year is eggs! Did you hear that? Here is a photo of their beautiful chickens, some of their eggs and an example of what we received for our small share each week last year. Sign up this week for a share with Old Homeplace Farm and for a limited time receive a FREE dozen of our free range eggs. Plus, you'll be entered to win a FREE farm t shirt (two names will be drawn at the end of the week).

Did you know that this week I am celebrating National CSA Sign-up Week on Feb 21-28th. Why would someone want to join in a CSA? One of my reasons is the fact that you receive vibrant, just-harvested produce. If you’re a part of a CSA, say goodbye to wilted greens and tasteless tomatoes. Your produce will be harvested when it’s ripe and, in most cases, find its way into your kitchen within a day of being picked. This means better flavor and more nutrient-rich produce. Access to heirlooms and more unusual produce varieties, and the fun that comes with trying new things! I loved being exposed to new types of greens, tomatoes and radishes this last year. I don't remember the name of this green tomato pictured below, but it is my new favorite. It is firm, juicy and not too sweet. I also learned about watermelon radishes which I had never heard of before.' they are so tasty in salads AND roasted! I am SO thankful for the variety of wholesome goodness that @OldHomeplaceFarm plans for their shareholders. Join me in supporting an awesome local farmer.

Old Homeplace Farm is celebrating National CSA Sign-up Week on Feb 21-28th. I joined Old Homeplace Farm CSA last year and have already joined for the 2021 season. What does CSA mean? If you’re unfamiliar with what a CSA is, it stands for “Community Supported Agriculture.” A CSA is a farm in which individuals purchase a “crop share” during the winter and early spring, before the season begins. Then, throughout the growing season, share members either come to the farm weekly to pick up their already-paid-for shares of just-harvested vegetables, or they pick up their shares at a pre-determined location. Shareholders financially support the farmer in advance to grow fresh vegetables for them in the upcoming growing season. @oldhomeplacefarm arranges pick ups for their shareholders and they also offer delivery. Below is one of the small shares I received last Summer. I also joined the flower share and I was never disappointed by either of my shares. Join me in supporting an awesome local farmer.
