Bobby Kirk from Cane Creek Farm Writes 07/01/2009
Wow! I cannot believe June is almost over..It has been busy for everyone..Father's day was a day of remembrance.. Just a few short years ago my Dad rode a horse drawn wagon to the church for the last time...I made the trip with him up and down Orange Grove Road many times over the years but that Fathers Day was our last..Dad was a Farmer and his hands were testimony to his work..He loved animals and enjoyed hooking a team and working them or taking kids and adults for rides on our wagon..I miss him and yet i know he is in a grand place! I am watering everyday and the heat has been tough but corn is coming in, Cantaloupes,tomatoes,okra, peppers and beans ,beans and more beans are all really producing.. Peas are almost ready..Just a side note here >>> I have already canned 56 Qts of beans ..I will can some more of the late beans.. Tomatoes are next on my list to can but corn will be cut off the cob and frozen this week or next. I have just planted about an acre of late beans,squash,peas and butter beans where our first Corn was.I am planting another planting of sweet corn and popcorn today..Michael is planting tomatoes today and more peppers.. Our new web site is not up but it should be soon.. I hope to include a little history of the Revolutionary war skirmish "The Battle of Kirk's Farm".. This battle was down Cane Creek from us a little ways... The Web site should make Getting my e-mails out easier and there will be a blog for those of you wanting to ask questions or make comments.. Cane Creek will be opening a market in Cary off Kildare Farm Rd.. It will be located on the Kiesler Farm on the right before Kildare crosses 1/64...Market should be open there on July 2...Also you can Call and come by the Farm any afternoon from 4-7...You can e-mail or call with your orders and orders will be ready for you.... Phone numbers are : Farm 919 942 7992 Bobby Mb 357 0746 Michael 357-4115 If you miss us just leave a number and/or a message ... I want to personally thank all of you for supporting us and our efforts to continue Farming here at Cane Creek.Keeping a farm going this day and time is not easy.. I do want to sell a few building sites on the farm including the house i live in...All the land will be protected and the farmland will continue to be farmed and will never be developed..Those that live here will have access to all the farm , have first opportunity at the vegetables and meats grown here and a peace of mind knowing there will never be more development around them..Plus living on a beautiful Farm in an awesome community. Thanks again, Bobby Kirk Cane Creek Farms "Kirks ,,Farming on Cane Creek since before the Revolutionary War" CommentsLeave a Reply |
