2011 or Year Two

2011: The Next Chapter

Happy New Year, everyone! Well, we made it through the first year of our CSA. We provided all kinds of fruits and vegetables for our customers. Many received shares of pork, chicken and beef as well. Oh, and eggs were eaten by the dozens weekly. We sent out "flyers" with our CSA shares, designed and built a website (thanks to Tracy) and did a pretty decent job on brochures and newsletters. We created a community page on Facebook, kept careful records of sales and production and learned all kinds of new things about all-natural farming. Appreciation goes out to all of our "people": customers, farmhands, drivers, butcher and anyone else involved with this project of ours. We look forward to serving you in the coming year and hope to meet your needs. Thanks again. You are awesome.  

Much to do with everything

Well, the new year is drawing nigh quickly. Soon, spring will grace us with her presence and create ten times the work for yours truly. There are quite a few new ventures on which we plan to focus, alongside our normal routines of maintenance and agriculture. So, I thought I'd drop a bunch of random ideas on the blog, just to get them out of my head. Here we go!

-Bat House

-Bird Haven

-Mini Pond

-Chicken Hotel

-Winery

-CSA Store

-Stone Patio

-Processing Pavilion

-JZ Hut

I was really trying to concentrate on structures and/or landscaping with this list. If I were to list all of the work we're trying to do then, it would just turn into a confusing mess of stress for me. So, I thought I'd keep the list categorically oriented. Stay tuned. More to follow...



Beginning The Second Year

We have finally posted our webpage! Check out http://www.hrnaturalharvest.com/! Enjoy the pictures. More to follow.

First Logo (jzw)

Hickory Ridge Natural Harvest

-I originally submitted this logo idea bc we were looking for something bright and cheery. It also had to be symbolic of the farm, whilst containing the letters for the CSA acronym. I think we decided against this particular logo bc it failed to represent what the CSA does..."

"I like this picture bc it feels like home country. Since our home is in the country, it fits. If you can't understand what I mean, I reckon you ain't country."
