Wendell Berry February 2 1968 Redux March 16 2020 Overcast skies, in the cold sun of March, in the promise of spring, virus spreading, families isolating, the world uncertain in fear, We pass down the marked beds, sowing potatoes. We are here y’all. We are doing all the same things that we do every season at this time. Tilling, seeding, planting, hiring workers, signing up CSA members, laughing, crying, starting, stopping. We are growing food for you Asheville. To our restaurants, tailgate markets, and customers our hearts and souls are with you. We are figuring this out one day at a time, and as we have produce available, we will let you know. Thank you for your support! Love from, Anne, Aaron, Addiebelle, Cyril, Tinnawinna, Rosie, Junebug, Abbott, Bosshog, Heidi, Pearl, Bucky, and the rest of life out here on the farm.

Thanks for braving the cold this morning @northashevilletailgatemarket y’all keep us poking around in the dirt for a living. #ashevillefood #organicfarming #northashevilletailgatemarket
