Like all small businesses, we wouldn’t be here without our amazing customers’ support.

Like just about every business trying to make its way in America - we decided to run a Black Friday sale with a snazzy ad to “celebrate” it.

But like so many small farms, our season is pretty much all wrapped up, along with the income stream that goes with it.
By buying a CSA share (or Farmers Market gift card, or Merch), you’re continuing to support your local farms’ ability to thrive and provide food to our community.

The money brought in during these slower times goes immediately into seeds, soils, amendments, supplies, tools, repairs, replacements, upgrades, and improvements to make the next growing season the best one yet!

We understand the bombardment of advertisements you are receiving from the countless number of businesses trying to win a piece of your take home pay, and we appreciate from the bottom of our hearts each and every time you choose to spend some of that hard earned money with us.

We especially know it’s difficult spending money on food that you won’t be eating until next year. But think of it like you’re right there with us, planning and preparing and planting the seeds yourself and dreaming about the bountiful harvests to come!

That’s why we’re providing an incentive to tell you we understand and appreciate it - get two weeks of CSA shares free with any full season purchase. One week free on a half season. Or 10% off any gift card or merch.

And if the budget is too tight right now, but you want to commit to being a part of this growing movement of community supported agriculture (CSA), you can put down a deposit of as little as two weeks worth of CSA - we’ll give the 10% off of the deposit also!

If you want to help support us in other ways, we’d really love you telling all of your friends family and coworkers about one of your favorite local farms via sharing this on your social pages and thru word of mouth - it always makes us smile from ear to ear when we hear “Oh so and so told me about CCR, she said we just HAD to come check you out”!

However you decide to support us, just know we sincerely appreciate it.
- your local farmers

‼️We again sold through a large portion of our produce at the Renzie Market. Therefore we will not be setting up a full pop up market at the farm Saturday.
But dont worry, we do have plenty to stock the Farm Stand with over the weekend - and we’ll keep an eye on it and restock as necessary.

FOR CSA MEMBERS - ITS THE LAST WEEK :-(
THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL COOLERS WITH CSA BAGS IN THEM, PLEASE SELF SERVE! THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT SEASON!

WE ALSO STILL HAVE MUMS

If you cant make it to Renzie Thursday night, or if you’re just used to getting your produce on Saturday mornings - we are still having our Saturday morning farm pop-up and CSA pickups.

-Due to such an amazing market today there will be NO on farm pop up market Sunday September 15th.
We only came home with enough to keep the farm stand stocked for the day and due to time and temperature we are not able to harvest to have enough for a sufficient pop up for you all!

***For CSA Customers your bags will be in the coolers marked (CSAs) that will be placed next to the farm stand!***
-normal pick up times

-All the rest of the farm shopping can be done from our Honor System Farm Stand for the day.

Our next Market will be this Thursday September 19th at the Renzie Night Market!

Thank you all so much and as always we appreciate you 🤗
