Jake's Farm

This winter has been severe in the Western North Carolina area. We had one of our greenhouses crushed by snow in late December and are still struggling with mud and too much moisture. Our kit for rebuilding the damaged greenhouse is here, but we are waiting for better sunny weather before getting it up and going. We have plenty of volunteers on standby to assist in the reconstruction and for that we are most grateful.

Our big greenhouse is still producing and we have already started plenty of broccoli, onions, leeks, and cabbage. The middle of the month will see us starting tomatoes for greenhouse production to insure some early red goodness along with cucumbers and other crops for early harvest in late spring. The acre we have in strawberries is surviving the wet well, and so is the garlic. We also have some diakon radish, leeks, broccoli, brussel sprouts,  and turnips overwintering outside.

Our CSA is scheduled to begin in the last week of May. Inquiries are brisk so if you would like to be part of the Jake's Farm CSA family now is the time to get in touch with us. Missy is more than happy to answer all your questions and explain our program to you.

We have a new website carrying our products for weekly delivery in Charlotte. www.farmersfreshmarket.com We are very happy to have secured Marriott hotels as one of our newer restaurant customers along with other satisfied family folks in the Metro area of NC.
