We are back tomorrow, December 3rd! We hope everyone had a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing you back at the stand tomorrow morning!
Sungold Farm is a small acreage mixed vegetable operation dedicated to growing fresh, local and sust CSA
Community Supported Agriculture.
The Farm
Sungold Farm is a small, intensive vegetable and herb farm covering three acres in southeastern Forsyth County, 10 minutes from downtown Winston-Salem. The land has been well managed and productive – not your red clay, but a sandy loam with some clay loam. Most of the production is outside with a hoophouse to get an earlier start on tomatoes and lettuces. Growing Practices
Although not
USDA organic certified, we are very familiar with the practices and believe that they are the best way to grow crops with flavor, nutrition, environmental health, and our own health (for both eating and working). We practice a three year crop rotation, use a lot of mulch (both hay and plastic) for w**d and moisture control, use drip irrigation, plant cover crops and do not use synthetic chemical, pesticides, nor fertilizers. Members pay up front at the beginning of the year, before the season begins which helps the farm get underway and purchase the necessary materials to make the season a success. In return, members collect a box of produce each week for 20 weeks. Each box has at least 6 different items – the box has a $25 value. Logistics
Tuesdays 4-6 members bring the previous week’s box and pick up their vegetables at either the farm, Stella Brew, or Wednesdays 4-6 at the cobblestone farmers market drive thru.
Operating as usual
We are back tomorrow, December 3rd! We hope everyone had a lovely holiday and we look forward to seeing you back at the stand tomorrow morning!

I should have caught this earlier...but I left the lid cracked on the greens Friday afternoon in the cooler (to let the field heat out) for too long and dried them out. I had some for breakfast - tasted great but looked terrible. Please come get another batch on Saturday!
