10/14/2023
Hello Charlotte friends!
Unfortunately, due to a minor bump-up heading into town, we are only able to facilitate this morning.
Please bear with our crew as we are slightly behind scheduled setting up for you guys there.
Thankfully it was not too serious and there were no injuries.
We apologize to our folks, 🙁 we hope you will make the short trek to Uptown Market this morning to get your blooms and veggies.
Greatful to our crew for helping us recover and reshuffle plans!
We appreciate you! Drive safe this morning!

So don’t rob yourself of your one opportunity to get veggie’d up for the week. Will be at our regular spot with this weeks bounty rain or shine! and

Pretty good view… #curdog #weeding #ncfarms
Couldn’t ask for a better morning… #freshweeding #curdog #ncspring #ncfarms
Today we are playing farm catch up and tackling weeds. And, of course, morning harvesting for the farm stand. Many plots doing well and some not so, but this lettuce is awesome and ready to go.
Of all the vegetables in our hoop houses, this little nest of eastern cottontail rabbits took the prize! #babyrabbits #lifeonthefarm
After short dealings, We settled on $3 each for a buckets worth. My knees are thanking them gratefully.
Who else loves cherry tomatoes as much as we do? We like them better when they intercrop with our early season salad greens! #leanfarming #greenhouse #localfood
Still in winter-reflection mode, but must prepare for spring and summer. We have buried down on farm renovations this winter to streamline our processes and cut unnecessary cost…(more pictures of these improvements soon). For now, we just want to say “our greenhouses and high tunnels are at their most productive state to date and it won’t be long until our hill-top fields will be bursting with fruits, roots, leaves, stalks, sprouts, flowers and bees. #farmstands #farmersmarket @uptownfarmersmarket @southendmarketclt @flourshopclt
Good morning farm. Time to get these beds ready for our first markets in April. Alongside asparagus, we like to grow spinaches, arugulas, lettuces, carrots and beets in these high tunnels to have ready for market. @uptownfarmersmarket @southendmarketclt #compost #farmlife
Heating a greenhouse that is at half capacity essentially doubles your heat bill per plant. To address this, seal off all the unused real estate in your greenhouse. Make sure your ventilation fan still services your enclosure and don’t spend too much energy on permanent aesthetics. In a couple of weeks, more trays will occupy the remaining shelves and the enclosures will come down. #leanfarming #plantsale
Nice load of November produce hitting the markets this morning. Find us @uptownfarmersmarket and @southendmarketclt this morning! #localfood #familyfarms #healthylifestyle
Wheel bugs hard at work this morning. We have watched them two destroy squash bugs before our very eyes.
Lots to offer at the farm-stand today including some new NC apples and the last of the peaches. Lots of tomatoes by the box, corn, cucumbers, lettuce and more. Open Friday until 6!
The fun never stops. Prepping ground and planting seeds for fall before the forecasted rains next week. At least it cooled down, ready for a restful Saturday night! #augustfarming #familyfarming #farmboys #collards #kale #cabbage #broccoli #lettuce
Sweet is corn is coming in by the bushel and we are offering a bushel price: 4 dozen ears for $20.00. Avalon (a white kernel Ed corn ) this week. Serendipity (a wonderful bi-color) will be next week. Watermelons, cantaloupes and heirloom tomatoes are at peak season! We should have canning tomatoes by the box next week! This is a great couple weeks to snatch up the summer treats we dream about all spring. Produce is all about striking while the iron is hot!
Lots to choose from at the farm this Friday! Come on out 11-6!

Hello what do we have today?
We are excited to announce that The Seven Sisters Farm will be joining us again on the Davidson County Farm Tour - over the last few years they have grown their farm steadily, improving their food production, building more high tunnels and offering more diversity of vegetables and fruits. If you were lucky to visit them years ago, you should visit them again. Things have developed. They provide an excellent model for small farms and are reflective when surveying their land, strategically planting based on what their land offers as well as understanding what they need to build in terms of soil quality. From seedlings to transplants to harvest - Seven Sisters Farm offer fantastic insight into small farm management.

NC Farm School students visited two Davidson County locations today: The Seven Sisters Farm & Roberts Farm. Students learned about their farming operations. Lunch was catered by Roots on Main.
As a child we all have dreams of becoming something big when we grow up, like a rockstar, veterinarian or doctor. At the age of three, Janice Fine, owner of The Seven Sisters Farm, drew a picture that said ‘when I grow up I want to be a farmer’ and the journey began. Janie and her husband Michael met in college at NC State University when they were both studying natural resource management. “I grew up in a family that grew produce for a living so I have known it all my life,” she said, “but Michael discovered his true passion for agriculture while working for a produce box distribution company in college where he met many farmers and industry workers.” Located in Denton, Seven Sisters Farm focuses on feeding families and satisfying their customers through a diversity of products. “Product diversity is really our goal because we are a retail farm who sells directly to our consumers and we try to have something for everyone,” Janice said. Not only do they have a variety of fruits and vegetables available each year, including leafy greens, root crops, Asian greens, strawberries and asparagus, but they also grow flowers and have recently added livestock to the mix. “I worked for a greenhouse in college and absolutely loved it, so growing the herbs and flowers is a way that I can continue to utilize that knowledge and passion,” she said, “this year I am excited to try doing cut flowers for the first time and seeing how our customers react.” A typical day on the farm depends highly on the season, but usually involves a variety of tasks from harvesting crops to taking care of animals and maintenance work. “Starting in May, we are harvesting in the fields at dawn while the weather is still cool to ensure the best quality product,” said Janice, “then the afternoons are spent prepping for the farmers market or running our on-site farm stand before we circle back around to the evening chores.” Although the uncertainty of farming can be tough for a planner like Janice, she loves being outside and working in a job where there is always another chance to get things right. “Farming is a forgiving field to be in because even when you mess up, there is another season right around the corner where you can try again,” she said, “and it’s incredibly rewarding to provide products to people and see the fruits of your labor.” In addition to their farm stand on-site, products from Seven Sisters Farm can be found at the Uptown Farmers Market in Charlotte and the Southend Farmers Market. They also offer farm share boxes to interested customers in the Lexington and Salisbury areas. “We are offering two boxes this year to provide more seasonality in our box offerings,” Janice said, “there are typically six to ten products in a box and more information can be found about them on our website.” Janice loves to grocery shop for her family at their farm stand and, although she loves all their products, her favorites are tomatoes, squash and strawberries. “Farmers rely on their local community and economy so it really does make a difference when you purchase local products,” she said, “not only are those products going to be more stable, but by purchasing from local farmers, you are ensuring that those products you love will continue to be there in the years to come.” In the future, Seven Sisters Farm hopes to expand their livestock operation to include goats and pigs as well as buildup the farm stand to diversify the enterprise and offer more products to their customers. “We will always keep our eyes open for what people want and need,” Janice said, “we want to make it a place that our customers know they can count on and continue to come back to on a regular basis.” When they are not farming, you can find Janice and Michael enjoying time with their children and teaching them about the family farm.
Any veggies??? Hours of operation.

This week, we've been Drinking Local with two seasonal Cocktails featuring the hard apple cider from my friends at James Creek Cider House James Creek is in Cameron NC and their award winning array of seasonal ciders are all made with their own hand picked Heirloom Apples grown in an orchard just miles from the cidery.
I originally work with James Creek's Ann Marie Thorton to developed the recipes for these cocktails for a private Team Building Cooking and Cocktail-ing class I taught this week via Zoom.
But, we've been drinking them ever since! Don't mind if I do say so myself, these recipes are certainly two seasonal keepers!
As is always the case in my camp, each Recipe features a host of Local Ingredients
In the first glass we have the "James Creek Stone Fence" with Muddy River Distillery 's Queen Charlotte Rum, James Creek Stargazer Cider , Shooting Star and Savory Spice Shop Saigon Cinnamon on the rim and in the mix.
In the second glass, the "James Creek Spicy Orange Harvest Moon" with Cloister Honey Arbol Pepper Honey , James Creek Cider's Harvest Moon and TOPO Organic Distillery 's Vodka.
This glass is garnished with Orange , Mint from my garden and a candied The Seven Sisters Farm Roselle blossom -( you can find these at the South End Market at Atherton and the Uptown Farmers Market in Charlotte. Stay tuned for tips on how to candy your own) !
Tip of the hat to mixologist Ev Clark at - in Charlotte for the idea of the cool orange peel garnish
