Thanksgiving was truly blessed again this year. A HUGE Hawk flew in front of the van while traveling between families and reminds me to LISTEN!
The goats are comfy in their winter home, close to the house. I caught myself watching them from the window today. They are funny. They all react together to the noises on the farm, including the girls. Lily always has to say Hello to them when we get to the farm and Goodbye when we leave. The piggies just keep eating and the new laying hens are not laying eggs yet but their variety takes a little longer than the others. The cats are finding their warm homes on the farm and the kids are getting out their scarves, hats and mittens to continue with outside adventures thru the winter season.
TIME TO ORDER SEEDS:
We are making our plans for next years growing season and ordering our seeds and plants NOW. As we will be able to add crops thru May we’d like to get a good start for next year by placing some orders now for the early spring.
What are your favorite vegetable VARIETIES????
Instead of having mostly BELL peppers we want to expand with multiple varieties for your cooking needs. (and to please your taste buds)
YOU and your families are an important part of what keeps our farming community going. WE WANT TO GROW FOR YOU. Imagine getting a BOX of fresh, local produce delivered to your front porch, once a week, with the varieties you KNOW and LOVE. E-mail me some names of the varieties you like and we’ll starting doing some research on how to grow them for you.
Produce, Chickens, and Turkeys: We are taking chicken and turkey orders and WPB Memberships for 2012. The box program will start in June and we order chickens as soon as the weather gets warmer in the spring. Turkeys went fast this year and we had lots of people interested the week of Thanksgiving and could not fill their orders. If you are thinking of having a farm raised, fresh turkey for your holiday season next year let us know as soon as possible.
WINTER HOURS:
Office: Mondays 9am-5pm
FARM: I am at the farm on Wednesdays from 10am-2pm. I would be happy to put orders together for you to pick up at your convenience.
Email is a great way to get hold of me, but I will be taking days off and disconnecting while I spend time with my babies. We love everything we do at the farm, but now is the time to stay home, spend LOTS of time together, relaxing and recharging for next year.
