How on Farm Pick Up works (Spring 2025)

The Store serves as the hub for orders pick up and local eggs sales.

It is unmanned 98% of the time and designed to self-serve. Hopefully by this summer, we get more going in the store – manned, other farm products, free shopping etc.

Friday and Saturday are Orders pick up days

The store is open all the time – so, you do not have to coordinate a time to come – just come when it it works for you. I don’t have to be there for you to pick up. It is nice if I am- so we can visit, but it is not a requirement – so don’t think you need to coordinate – you effectively have coordinated by placing the order.

Meat orders will be in the big chest freezer (one of the right)

If your order includes eggs – they are in one of refrigerators in a grocery bag with your name on it.

Eggs not in a bag are for local folks who drop in for eggs.

Wednesday and Thursday are our Packing days for orders. Once your order is packed, it will be moved to the store for pick up.

You will not be contacted that your order is packed – just know it gets packed on Wednesday or Thursday.

If you cannot wait till Friday or Saturday for pick up & need your order by Thursday – that is not problem - you are welcome to call or text to make sure we are done and have moved the order.

A quick call is easy and I am happy to let you know you are ready.

A Change of Seasons

A Change of Seasons As fall descends upon us with all its glory, leaves of every color fall from the trees and paint the landscape …… the event marks the end of a season well lived and there begins a new season after winter’s rebirth. I recall almost 40 years ago sitting in Botany class learning about how leaves change color and fall from the tree…. The abscission layer – a layer of cells that form in the leaf stem eventually separating the leaf from the life blood of the tree…..& it eventually falls. Losing Cathy almost 2 years ago was my abscission layer - the beginning of an end……… the end of a beautiful season of life. This will be Land Basket Farm’s final season of operation. I will sell this farm this year or next and likely end up in Texas. What will I do ? I will continue to blog & be an advocate for healthier living, I will travel, enjoy the outdoors, run races and be a part of my grandchildren’s lives. Some of you will look upon this event with sadness, but you should not. It is a change in seasons and comes in many forms for all of us. The era of Land Basket Farm will always bring a smile to my face – the work that Cathy and I did together and the people we connected with along the way. I will miss it all. Our Final Season and what to expect We have significant inventory on hand and operations will continue normally through December. Read the newsletters. We will continue attending the Knoxville Market for the rest of this year. Our last market will be December 19. We will not attend the winter market in January, Feb & March. On Farm pick up will be the only fulfillment option in January 2027. I anticipate the website will close ~ Late January depending on sales. We’ll offer more frequent specials this fall. Read the newsletters. The Next Season—and This Blog My most loyal readers know I am passionate about living longer and healthier lives. I am a crusader against sugar and many of the modern aspects of our diet that do not serve us. If you have enjoyed the Land Basket Blog, its journey, and its advocacy, I invite you to join me in the next season: Phase III Life. Finding Health and Happiness Later in Life. Phase III Life is my new blog that will continue what Land Basket started (all content has been transferred). I will continue write about the things that affect our health, and shed light on topics that help us as we age. Thank you for being part of this season. I hope you’ll join me for the next.
