Hill and Hollow 2023 CSA Season Enrollment now OPEN

It’s that time of the year again!
Just yesterday we completed the deep clean of the greenhouse and warmed up the germination mat and planted our first seeds for what will be a fruitful season. The return of longer days and the inspiration of new foods and old faces is exciting us every day. Seeds have been ordered and are starting to arrive in the mail, and now is the time for you all to ponder your spring, summer and fall meals!

The pace of farm work starts to accelerate with each week and the need for the full vision of the season ahead is most important. How much to plant? What to plant? Who is going to eat this first tomato? You know, the farmers most important questions. There is activity all around the farm: in the greenhouse, in the high tunnels. We are building a new barn, attending inspiring Conferences and thrilling at the possibilities of another year of growing and eating together.

 

Last year’s delivery system proved to be flawless, our CSA pick up days proved to me so nourishing. I absolutely adore Matryoshka Coffee shop and we just can’t wait for another year. We will stick with well oiled system at 370 Herron Drive and look forward to more of the same community connection, great atmosphere and ease of CSA pick up.

Hill and Hollow 2021 CSA Season Enrollment now OPEN

It’s National CSA Week!
You know what that means? It is the week when most people across the country are making the commitment to eating locally and seasonally for the year ahead?
Why this week? Well, the works starts now. OK, the work already started last month.  But it is now that the pace accelerates and the need for the full vision of the season ahead is most important. How much to plant? What to plant? Who is going to eat this first tomato? You know, the farmers most important questions. There is activity all around the farm: in the greenhouse, in the high tunnels, in the fields. We used the last snowy week to prepare fully for what we will all do when the ice melts, the snow disappears and spring starts to present herself! 

Last year’s pivot do to the emerging COVID-19 situation in the Spring resulted in a totally re-envisioned CSA delivery procedure. We worked hard, ironed out the many kinks and had a safe and successful 2020. Now, as I plan for 2021, it is clear that I need to stick with the neighborhood delivery system. My heart and soul long for the pandemic to be over, but alas, it is not. I can’t predict what the future holds. For now, after a long hard series of discussions and way too much overthinking (I am quite good at that), I have decided to stick with our 2020 model and deliver shares each Saturday to our hubs in Forest Hills, 12 South and Inglewood. 

Here are some details, if you want more information, please reach out. Below is an outline of share sizes and their pricing:

half share $600

2020 CSA Enrollment is OPEN now

It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join Hill and Hollow CSA for our 21st season delivering to Nashville. We are proud and crazy and ready to feed you and your family for what will certainly be an amazing season.26865010_396139274169841_6620991463184400384_n

 

This is my current work, starting seeds that will grow into plants that  will feed us all season long. These moments, starting with this tiny seed, a sprinkle of faith and plenty of optimism, are those that are often unnoticed. Now, in late winter, vegetable farmers are getting their game on! The farmers markets that will be bustling in a few short months are desolate (OK, aside from the few die hards). Now, is when we need your commitment. With seeds and equipment and supplies to purchase, we need your support now more than ever. This is the nature of the CSA promise.

Join today, become a part of the optimism and the work that we do in these quiet months. You will be glad you did.
