ONE HUBCAP FARM | Blythewood, SC

Online Farm Store

My children are probably tired of me telling them that they are living through a major historical event and they should write down the details to share with their children.  I’m tired of living through a major historical event.

When I wrote my last post, in early March, Coronavirus was still something that was happening somewhere else.  I did put out a bottle of hand sanitizer at a farmers market I attended, but I certainly didn’t imagine that five weeks later I would be forced to stay at home by law.

You know this, you are living it too.

I remind my children to be thankful for our blessings: we have a farm, which means we can go outside whenever we want and not risk encountering any people from whom we might need to distance ourselves.  We have animals and flowers and food.  We are okay, and I hope you are too.

In the reprieve from some of the busyness of daily life, although springtime is still busy on a farm, I have been able to set up a farm store.  At first, I intended to use it to make it easy for people to place deposits on the bulk purchase of pastured pork, but I decided to expand it to include cut flower bouquets and eggs.

On the website, which you can access from the Online Farm Store tab on the homepage of this website, or by clicking here, you may pay for items with a credit card and then make arrangements to pick up the items, no contact, from the farm.

For more information about buying a half or a whole hog, click here.  When all the hysteria began over buying food and supplies (I had plenty of toilet paper at home because we bought it in bulk before all of this), I was relieved to think of my freezer of meat at home from my pigs when I saw the empty meat cases.  Purchasing a half or a whole hog is a way to ensure you have a supply of meat, too.

I do plan to attend the Blythewood Farmers Market on April 22 with eggs and cut flowers, but I am sold out of meat until the next batch of pigs goes to market midsummer.

My farm is located on Muller Road, about half a mile from Muller Road Middle School, convenient to Blythewood and I-77.
