Heritage Organic Farm's annual harvest day will be held this Saturday, June 9th 9:00AM - 1:00PM! The corn and beans should be ready for pickin' and maybe even some peas, radishes, squash and tomatoes too. Anything you pick yourself is half price! Bring your friends and family if you like just please let us know how many are coming. RSVP to heritageorganicfarms@comcast.net

Recently appointed South Carolina rep, Mary Lynn Peacher, shown here at the Sun City Health Fair presenting Heritage's organic box program has ramped up our SC business by displaying our logo on the side of her car as she rides around town! Thank you Mary Lynn for all the wonderful support!!

Weeds, weeds, go away!

What's going on at the farm is lots and lots of weeding!

Weeding corn now...harvesting corn in June!

Also, the girls have a new home now. They are upscaling to a much larger chicken tractor and they love it!!

 Hope you all have a blessed weekend!

Composting Galore

 Heritage Organic Box Member, Ann Marie Roy, saves items (organic veggie scraps, coffee grounds, egg shells, etc.) to put in the compost piles at the farm.
If you don't use your compostable items - please bring them to us! Please - no fruit, oil or meat. Thanks!
Every little bit helps!
Have a healthy, happy week!!

New pickup locations

We are now harvesting collards, red mustard, spinach and lettuce along with other delicious treats. The English peas are in bloom and we should be harvesting them in about 2 weeks.

Our "tractor man" is busy at work to get the fields ready for new planting.

Also, at the request of Sun City (Bluffton, SC) residence, we have a new pickup location at Books N' Brew coffee shop in Sun City. Boxes are also being delivered to Circle of Health in Bluffton, SC.
We have added a pickup in Hinesville as well at Farmer's Natural Foods. You can check our website for pickup times and prices.

We have an intern that will be working with us through the summer. His name is Trey and his family is starting an organic farm locally. He is wanting to learn more about organic growing and we are so thankful to have him as part of our team!

Hope you all have a great week!

Spring is here!

Lots and lots of planting is what Spring means to Heritage Organic Farm!
Certified organic plants are here and ready to be put in the ground. 

 Volunteers in the field are now planting broccoli, kale, cabbage and tomatoes.

Grady, Shirley's great grandson, came out to lend a hand during spring break. He is spraying fish emulsion on the parsley plants and hoeing the deer tongue lettuce garden.

Grady and his brother Davis also enjoyed feeding the goats a little grass and watching the baby calf nurse its mother.

The green onions are growing by leaps and bounds and we are harvesting them now. The brussel sprouts are looking gorgeous as well!

 Hope you all have a happy, healthy weekend!!

2012 Update!

There are lots of exciting things going on at Heritage Organic Farm right now! We are harvesting, planting, and irrigating new acreage!

 

 These are the green onions we planted.

Here are a few pics of the new irrigation system:

Here is a picture of our "girls" too. You can see the handsome rooster, "Judge," standing guard behind them. The difficult part about free range hens is that hawks love them. One swooped down just this week and got one of the chickens in a split second. This is the third one we've lost since September. We are hoping the hawks will stay away!

We hope all of you are doing well and again we sure are grateful to you, our loyal customers!

Happy Thanksgiving...

From Heritage Organic Farm to YOU! We are thankful for each one of our loyal customers new and old and hope you have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends.
We are so excited to announce a new pickup location in Savannah on Mondays at Ogeechee River Coffee Company in Habersham Village. The price is $30 per original/family box and $20 for petite boxes. They arrive by 1:30 and the store close at 7:00. Let us know if you or a friend would be interested.
We will also be opening a pickup location at Curves in Pooler and Curves in Statesboro in the next few weeks! Email us any questions.
