Carolina Crops

08/26/2026

Hey friends. As many of you know, we are currently unable to sell or consume anything growing on our property while we wait for test results ensuring safety. We had fallout from a factory fire litter our farm early last week. Since then, all farm sales have been canceled. This has caused us to suddenly lose our main source of income and has been immensely stressful for our family. Along with the financial stress, my heart and spirit is feeling broken seeing produce I spent months and months growing and tending to, be discarded of. We love what we do and hope we are able to get back to it sooner than later. In the mean time, we are going to open up a merch shop. This will help us get through the next few weeks while we wait for more information about what the future of our small scale family farm will look like.

Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your support and encouragement over these last few years and thank you for any support and encouragement you offer over the coming weeks and months. We appreciate you.

All our love,
Amy and Nick

carrots have become one of my favorite things to grow ✨

They become sweeter after being touched by frost because the starches in them convert to sugars to keep them from getting damaged by the cold. Our raised beds are currently filled with carrots that will be pulled late winter and early spring. They were planted at the end of summer and beginning of fall. Carrots typically take about 3 months from planting to pulling, although they do grow slower when the days get short and the temps drop.

I’ll start planting our spring carrots in February and will continue planting through March. Between my winter carrots and my spring carrots, I’m hopeful we will have a continuous harvest for the rest of winter and all of spring.

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! After Christmas comes down at our house, we start focusing on summer and spring crops. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to try to be better about this page.. it consistently gets away from me and I’m sorry for that. I’d love to be posting once a day, but I will be happy if I can commit to once a week. Yall hold me to it, now! Next week I’ll start sowing spring flowers and hot peppers for summer and in February I’ll plant our tomato seeds. Those will all stay inside for a little while until the weather is consistently warmer. Right now my seedling rack inside is filled with spinach that needs to be transplanted into the spring plot outside and I have several bags of spring and summer bulbs I’d like to get in the ground before the weekend us up. That likely will not happen but I’m gonna try. Mr and Mrs Claus have been a little preoccupied for the last month but now they’re gonna get back to farming. Doing my best to juggle all the balls, I’m sure you are too.. even if in different ways. We can do it! 🫶🏼

our slicing tomato season is coming to an end, which is bittersweet for us here on the farm ❤️‍🩹

we started all the tomato plants from seed in February and transplanted them out into the field in April. We have baby-ed them for the last five and a half months. We had around 220 tomato plants this year. It is a labor of love but we love to do it. We are already looking forward to next year’s tomato crop and trying some new varieties. We are also looking forward to being able to focus on some infrastructure around the farm that needs fixing and continuing to work on getting our fall crops going.

if you got a chance to taste one of our tomatoes, we hope you enjoyed them as much as we do. The second photo in this set is of my favorite one we grew this year — a sweet tangerine tomato. The look and taste is just divine. If you haven’t tried one.. you should 😘

Hey friends! We hope you had a good holiday. We have been busy planting for fall — pumpkins, winter squash, beans, and root veggies along with some flowers. The rain has helped us out a bit, but boy has it been hot and humid.

This week we are harvesting tomatoes, hot peppers, sweet peppers, cucumbers (pickling and slicing), green and purple beans, and okra. We have eggs, but are running low on candles and honey. We plan to make more candles over the weekend if we can find the time.

As always, thank you for being here and for supporting your local farmer ❤️✨🌿
