We have several exciting developments on the farm and are excited to announce our 2025 foodshare drive. We will be offering beginning next week a 2025 Flex-Foodshare CSA (if you have already purchased a 2025 share, you may keep your share pick up as you paid for, or you may select the Flex-Foodshare option and we will refund any difference in cost).The reason we offer CSA shares is they provide much needed financial support to help cover the costs of operating the farm from now until the third week of April. From much experience, we are aware our CSA program lacked flexibility and options in the past. As a result, we are going to offer two Flex-Foodshare plans for the 2025 CSA Season that will allow participants to choose what they want, when they want, and how much they want (Remember, a point = $1):
Option One: 250 Flexpoints for $200 (20% discount)
Option Two: 525 Flexpoints for $400 (24% discount)
This year you may pick up your food at Midtown market from May-Oct on Saturday morning, OXCM on Tuesday afternoon from the third week of April-December, and on Campus at least once a week while Spring, Summer, and Fall school sessions are in progress next to the OXCM Market Food truck--exact days to be announced.
--Participants will be able to pick up a minimum of 25 points a week (if available), and 15 points a market. If there is plenty of food, points allowed will be increased.
--Participants may share points or roll points over to the 2026 season.
--Participants may choose what, and how much (pending availability) they will pick up at any time. Flex-Foodshare options may also be given as gifts.
We hope to have an online or market Square POS system soon. Flex-Foodshares will be available officially from February 15-April 21, 2026.
If you already purchased a 2025 share, please let me know if you want to change or keep your existing plan?
2025 UPGRADES AND GROWTH PLANS
On a personal note I have decided to retire from Ole Miss next December and am exciting with the prospect of full-time farming. This year I am going to focus on a smooth transition to full time farming! am also excited to have two decades-long friend's, Hil and JC McDowell, and their daughters HS sophomore Charlie, and Senior Emma, planning a transition to Mississippi over the course of the year to help out on the farm this year. Johnny Jernigan will also be back growing food, handling markets, and wholesale food sales. We are also looking at developing training/internship programs for aspiring farmers and work-stay programs. We are preparing to double the amount of seeds we plant along with making significant upgrades in our irrigation, food processing, food storage, and transportation options. In addition, we plan to greatly increase the number and frequency of farm events including house/patio concerts, field concerts, drum circles, community potlucks, and field days/educational programs/class visits.
