This weekend will be our final fresh chicken
weekend until next spring. The chicken will be available from Thursday at 3 (a
little later than normal) until Sunday evening, when what's left goes in the
freezer.
We still have tomatoes, although I wouldn't wait to
much longer to get them, as they are fading fast in the field. Our fall crops
are coming along well. We should have some lettuces soon and sweet potatoes in
two weeks.
We will be open our normal hours this week 9a until
dark and then beginning next week we will only be open Friday, Saturday and
Sunday 9a until dark. If you need something during the week please don't be
afraid to call us at 410-215-6776.
We have made some decisions about our egg
production, which has been a problem all summer, that we will discuss in another posting
We have built a new large bed for more asparagus
that will be planted this fall. We have ordered 500 strawberry plants we will
plant this fall, 40 new blueberry bushes to replace those that have petered out
in the blueberry field and have 40 pounds of garlic that we will be separating
the cloves to plant this October. The forty pounds should yield about 2000
bulbs of garlic next June!
One other thing....can any of you that juice, tell
me what juicer would juice grapes with seeds. We just bought a Breville juicer
to primarily juice our grapes and find out it's not recommended to juice grapes
with seeds and many of ours have seeds. Any help would be
appreciated.
As always, we thank you for choosing us as your
farmer.
Hope you all had a nice holiday
weekend!
Vicky and Steve
