Photo Post: Cane Creek Farm at Saxapahaw Farmers Market – 7/10/10
What a great evening. It was wonderful to see all of you out there last Saturday in Saxapahaw. The Big Fat Gap band played a lively and entertaining set. We chatted with friends, snacked on our delicious little golden bite-sized tomatoes, enjoyed a little goat cheese and local wine we purchased from other market vendors. Oh, and we sold the delectable bounty of our gardens.
Farm Newsletter: July 2010

Farm Newsletter: June 2010
On the last newsletter I asked you all to dance a little rain dance, and it must of worked. Cane Creek has been drenched by a string of rainstorms. Our gardens are sloppy but our pastures are green, and that’s a trade we’ll take any day.
We’re nearing the end of our bird hatching and acquisition. [...]

The 2010 Haw River Festival here in Saxapahaw started the Saturdays in Sax season off with a bang. We even sold some of our grass fed meat to Bob Garner of UNC-TV's North Carolina Weekend.
