To see which Winter Crops are currently being harvested on Beasley Farm, please see the highlighted areas below.
BIG QUESTION PLEASE: A few customers have asked us about CSA's (Community Supported Agriculture). CSA's are weekly produce "basket"programs. It is where a variety of vegetables and produce become available in predetermined "baskets" each week to a group of individuals who have planned ahead of time to purchase the baskets. If this appeals to you, or you'd be interested in more information, will you please advise Joann on Saturday or by phoning 352-232-3381. Thank you!
Gorgeous Red Swiss Chard - freshly harvested!Wanna see more?
Both are pesticide-free.
Swiss Chard may be used just like spinach - raw, cooked, or juiced, as a side dish, in salads, on sandwiches.
Did you know Swiss Chard can be frozen? Perfect for soups and stews.

For Gorgeous Kale or Beautiful Swiss Chard, please phone the farm. We will cut it especially for you to keep it at its freshest.

Quotes for this week:
The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself,
unless you forgive the situation,
unless you realize that that situation is over,
you cannot move forward.
~Unknown~
When you release the wrongdoer from the wrong, you cut a malignant tumor out of your inner life. You set a prisoner free, but you discover that the real prisoner was yourself.
