Collapse ▲From Chatham County Agriculture Agent Debbie Roos: Farm Visit Snapshots are a new feature on my Growing Small Farms website. A big part of my job as an Agriculture Agent is visiting farms to provide advice on crop production, marketing, and general management. I always have enjoyed taking photos during these visits and sharing on social media to promote agricultural literacy. I am now also sharing them on my website to widen the audience. These Farm Visit Snapshots provide a glimpse into activities on the farm during that visit.
In late July I visited Heart Song Farm in Silk Hope. Grower Emily Fuller has accomplished so much in only a couple of years, and pretty much by herself! Emily grows vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers and also produces amazing value-added products like raspberry pepper jelly, smoked garlic scape salt, herbs de Provence, and other spice blends.
You can find Heart Song Farm at the Sanford Farmers’ Market on Saturdays from 8 a.m. til noon.
Emily will be offering a Spring Community Supported Agriculture share (CSA) that includes produce plus a small offering of flowers and value-added products; sign-ups for the CSA will begin in January 2021. Contact Emily for more details.
Visit the Heart Song Farm website and follow them on Instagram at @heartsongfarmnc.

Emily loves growing cut flowers like this gomphrena and ageratum. Photo by Debbie Roos.
