Our 2016 year is looking bright as we continue our focus of
establishing our property into more heirloom organic edible forest
gardens which incorporates the maximum use of fruit trees with various
herbs, vegetables, fruits, and flowers underneath. We are hoping to
start our next projected project soon of bee hives so to offer our own
raw organic wildflower honey while they work for us as pollinators.
This week I hope to find time to contact the folks that own the woods
to the east of us and to the south of us to see if they would be
interested in selling all or a portion of their woodland at monthly
payments with no money down so we can expand our efforts of providing
healthy non genetically modified food to all that want it. Our plans
are to have as soon as the Lord sees fit, a 50 +- acre farm. This year
we have had classes in farming and baking to teenagers that have never
been exposed to where their food comes from and/or how it is grown or
made so we want to expand on the lack of interest that was seen in
those kids' eyes when they arrived vs. how excited they became when
they were able to hold chicks, hear the turkeys gobble, etc., plant
seeds and turn flour into squishy dough and then into beautiful loaves
of bread to enjoy. A petting zoo and classes will be fun for kids and
adults alike.
Thank you again for a great 2015!

Shiitake Mushrooms Harvest Season Has Begun!
Shiitake Mushrooms! We don't have them at our Farm Stand but be sure
to contact us with your order. $14 pound, here's some photographs of one
pound so you can get an idea. Shelf life is refrigerated 14 days in
paper bag. We happily sell half pounds, etc. We're excited helping the USDA with an experiment to see if Shittake mushrooms will grow on some of the invasive non native trees growing here in this area of the U.S. For the experiment we are using Water Oak which is the standard growing medium, Mimosa, Chinese Tallow and China Berry. This week's harvest was taken from the Water Oak and a few from the Chinese Tallaw.
Below are a few photographs to enjoy.
Thank you so much for stopping by!

2015 Availability List - August 10 Update
With hundreds of seeds growing under grow lights inside in the air conditioning awaiting for cooler weather, it's always time for harvesting, planting, weeding, and planning, not to mention all the baking, creating and caring for critters we do each day of the week. Crop rotation, succession planting, creating a biological ecosystem where assassin bugs, chickens, guineas, geese, ducks and turkeys help us with our crop pest control, composting, and the list goes on....now if we can come up with a solution for the unwanted grass, aka weeds in our gardens, we will have it made. Laying cardboard boxes down and putting chips on top will eventually pay off and allll the grass/weed seeds will cease to live. Note to self - darkness does not kill all weed seeds but it does help so don't give up!!
We now have a self service farm stand at the entrance of our farm and are happy that folks are responding wonderfully. We've met a lot of real nice folks that appreciate our efforts and we thank you all very much.

2015 CSA Subscriptions - April Update
Little Eden
Heirloom Farm
Crawfordville,
Florida
~Always Heirloom~
~Always Organic~
As
a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Share Member, you are part of our farm
family. You help pay for seeds, electricity
for water, organic soil additives and fertilizers and so much more. Our personal commitment to you: Have the peace of mind to know you are
eating fresh organically grown produce, no genetic modifications, no genetic
engineering. We now collaborate with
three other local organic farms to provide to a larger customer base. It’s a
win for those that want to support organic growers and a win for us small
farmers. We are so happy to share our
love of growing healthier food with you.
You’ll
receive extras, above and beyond your share purchased. Each week you’ll find something to try that
you didn’t know about, maybe some fresh made organic mustard or a jar of
preserves we harvested and made just for you.
Each Full Vegetable Share Membership will receive a loaf of bread, whole
wheat or if you prefer, winter white (your choice) and each Half Vegetable
Share Membership will receive a loaf of bread every two weeks. (Bread opt-out is an option, detailed below)
Start
off spring right by jumping into a share full of seasonal, organic heirloom vegetables
like salad lettuces, stir-fry lettuces, greens, kale, sprouts (i.e., sunflower,
broccoli, bean, etc.), whole grain breads, cut flowers, herbs, and more. Each
week you’ll enjoy what’s in season for this area.
We
are small enough to provide that personal touch. If you do not like bell peppers (or peppers
in general) let us know and we’ll work with you to replace it with something
else. You are welcome to opt out of the
items you do not like or eat. Do you not
like collard greens? Let us know!
A
Full Share is designed to feed a vegetarian family of 1-2 each week.
A
Half Share is designed to feed a non-vegetarian family of 1-2 each week.
Add
an additional $8 per week for specialty/sweet breads to include, for example, a
slice or two of our fan favorite Blackberry Banana Bread, Cranberry Orange
Bread, Zucchini Bread, Whole Wheat Crackers, Chocolate Chip Cookie(s) and/or
some fresh made bagels, doughnuts, etc.
Farm
fresh Egg Shares are a great Add-On. At
$4 per dozen chicken eggs; $6 per dozen duck eggs – to be offered late 2015 or
early 2016 (duck eggs are not available year-around). You are welcome to sign up for Full Egg Share
(weekly) or Half Egg Share (bi-weekly) to meet your family needs. Half Egg Shares are not on the availability
list but do inquire! Our free-range
chickens and ducks are fed strictly Certified Natural Feed which contains no
hormones, no antibiotics, no meat, and no feathers. They also happily scratch and peck the garden
weeds, assisting us with garden pest control.
Add-Ons
can be purchased separately; you are welcome to purchase only breads and/or
eggs. Let us know if you want only loaf
bread of wheat, white, etc. - $6 per week share. Likewise, if you want a Full or Half Share
with no bread, the cost is $24 per week for Full Share and $12 per week for
Half Share.
We’re
sure you’ll love the varieties of vegetables, fruit, dehydrated snacks,
condiments, baked items, preserves, herbs and flowers our Little Eden Heirloom
Farm has to offer.
We
are year-around growers. As you look at
the availability list you’ll see we pack in more than a full day’s work, doing
what we love - lessening the environment of its GMOs (genetically modified
organisms) and overabundance of pesticides and teaching others about these
issues. Throughout the year you will receive
beans, beets, cabbage, blackberries and/or other fruit, broccoli, chard,
cucumbers, lettuces, potatoes, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, various herbs and
the list goes on and on. Each week we’ll
share with you what the Lord has given us to harvest from our gardens.
CSA members also get priority in ordering
"a la carte" items added to your bag/box. Many of these items are limited in quantity
and only last a few short weeks or days. As we send out our weekly “Harvesting
and Happenings Newsletter” send us an email and let us know what you would like
and if you’ll be paying for it at Market pick-up, or if you would like an
invoice sent to you for pre-payment with a credit card (credit card
transactions are also available at the Market). Contact us today at littleedenheirloomfarm@zoho.com, or give us a call at 850-274-7690. Here’s a few questions we’ll need answers to get your subscription started:
