Latest news from the farm

Butterbeans and Crowder Peas

If you pre-ordered, rest assured we will be calling. We lost a field in the spring due to rains so it had to be replanted thus coming off later. We are anticipating harvesting later this month and into September. orders@oliverproduce.com

You get a call, regardless; once they are ready for pickup or if we don’t have product, I call.

Sausage

We are making our pork sausage at least once sometimes more, depending. I have a running pre-order list. Reminder: if we have enough pre-orders, which we have been, I don’t solicit.

5lbs/gallon bags is $20; 1lb/quart is $5. orders@oliverproduce.com

Cotton Wreathes

Sausage and Summer Produce

PORK BULK SAUSAGE:

Jimmy and I are planning on making our sausage monthly. We maintain a running spreadsheet so pre-order by sending an email to orders@oliverproduce.com -we will call when we make.

The sausage comes to you looking like hamburger in 1 pound (quart bag) and 5 pounds (gallon bag) that you patty yourself. Not only for breakfast, many use it in meatloaf, spaghetti sauce, lasagna, sausage balls, etc. 

 

Please be mindful that the sausage is prepared from meat cut the day we grind and only has spices – NO preservatives. We take pride in making sausage the way the older generations did and kindly request you pick it up within 2 days of our phone call. It can be in your refrigerator for 5 days 37 degrees or below before freezing. 

Taking orders for making. $20 5 pounds/gallon bag or $5 1 pound/quart bag. EMAIL ORDERS@OLIVERPRODUCE.COM with the BEST phone number and quantity you are looking to get.

SUMMER VEGETABLES:  Sweet corn, butterbeans and crowder peas are growing nicely and have l-o-v-e-d the recent rains.

Pre-order at orders@oliverproduce.com: since we sell out of butterbeans BEFORE we even harvest, I strongly recommend sending us an email early to get on the list. We keep a spreadsheet of your interest or amount you want of all our produce. When harvest begins, I contact customers on our spreadsheet before I send out emails or post to facebook. Early bird gets the goodies in this case!

Everything is picked fresh the day you want to pickup.

Hope to see you at the farm this year!
