Spring Farm Tour

Come see the farm Saturday April 14th at 10:30am!
Come see our vegetable fields, baby plants, layer hens, hoophouses, strawberries plants, sheep, baby pigs, antique and unusual tractors, and our view of the South Mountains.  You can place an order for pork and beef the day before the tour and pick it up after the tour.  Once we've done the farm tour and given the meat orders to folks, you'll have the option of a special beef tour- we'll drive about 1/2 mile over the hill to see our fabulous beef cows on the highland hill pastures.

We only get a few perfect Saturdays where we are mostly caught up on farm work, the weather is nice, and Marie isn't at the Saturday Farmers Market.  This April enjoy a lovely walk around our Silver Creek Property, a large farm where all of our vegetable and livestock production is now located.  This beautiful farm is just down the road from our Bluebird Drive property where Marie grew up. 

Saturday April 14th. Bluebird Farm Tour 10:30 am (only 1 tour time) at our Silver Creek property.  Place a pork or beef order by noon the 13th and take home your order after the farm tour. 

Tours: $5 per car.  Bring your friends! All farm members (Community Supported Agriculture members) free. 
-Not a CSA farm member?  Get your $5 back if you sign up for one of our farm shares (veggie box, beef, or pork) at the tour.  Learn more about our CSA farm shares here.
-You can also get your $5 back if you place a meat order the day before the tour.

STOP! GET DIRECTIONS!

Tour is at our Silver Creek property at 4107 Trestlewood Lane, not the Bluebird Drive address that you might have visited to pickup meat orders. Don't be left behind, please follow directions here. On Westbound Interstate 40, take Exit 100 Jamestown Road and turn left at top of ramp across the bridge.  Go approx 1 mile and turn left on Conley Road. Go approx 2.8 miles and turn right on Crawley Higgens Road.  Go approx 1 mile, during a sharp curve the road turns into Trestlewood Ave (you might not notice this.) Continue until Trestlewood Ave pavement ends at a small 1 lane bridge and look for a Silver Creek Farm sign.  Go just 50 feet and turn right on gravel farm road.  (Don't go up the hill.) Continue across farm towards plastic covered hoophouses on far side of farm. Don't worry, small cars can go on the gravel roads.

Farm tour tips
-Wear close toed shoes for walking on lumpy ground- sneakers or waterproof boots. Our farm is flat and mowed with roads around it, but there are lots of lumpy spots.
-The special beef tour will involve tall grass and steep hill pastures.
-We don't have a house nearby with indoor plumbing. There is an outdoor bathroom and handwashing spigot. If you prefer, you can stop at exit 100 Jamestown Road for the BP gas station bathroom.
-Wash your hands with soap at the farm after petting animals.

Saturday's neighborhood ride with William, Pepper dog, and Okra dog. Gotta love old logging roads in the woods and slow country roads.
They smell so good! Got a few pints of spring + sunshine for some early birds at the Charlotte Regional Farmers Market tomorrow 8-1pm. Why do these strawberries taste so good and how do we grow these beauties without toxic sprays or throwing away 50% of the berries? Well, strawberries are susceptible to rotting and fungal problems due to spring rains, so we eliminate the rain! We grow them in a simple 3 season high tunnel or hoophouse. When the plants are planted in October, we take the plastic cover off of the hoophouse and let the rain and snow water the baby plants. When the plants start flowering in March, we put the plastic back on the hoophouse to prevent the berries from getting squishy + gross in spring rains. We can give the plants just enough water to make the strawberry flavor perfect- spring rains can wash the flavor away. We only grow 400 row feet of strawberries since this size planting can be given lots of flavor building compost and rotated around our different hoophouses to further prevent fungal plant problems. #howwegrow #hoophousestrawberries #bestflavor #tasteofspring #gottobenc

This sweet guy went berry pickin' with me this morning and we got more than we could eat at one time! If we don't keep eating them all, look for the first few pints next week at Wed Hickory (10-2pm) and Sat Charlotte (8-1pm) + Sat Morganton (8-noon) Farmers' Markets. #strawberryheaven #gottobenc #smallfarm #howegrow #knowyourfarmer

Warm, then 4 1/2" rain, then 36 degrees (dodged the predicted 30-whew!), 36 hours later and today is 80, tomorrow's low? 36! Well... Summer squash in as planned, hope the row cover holds in the high winds and it isn't colder than predicted! #spring #rollercoasterweather #keeponkeepingon

Saturday night grillin' with our pasture beef on a 70 degree night. Ribeyes are my favorite and grass makes for amazing flavors. Rounding the meal off with some homegrown spinach and wild rice. #pasturebeef #grassfed #smallfarm
