Farm Update

Down on the Farm Talk about a series of unfortunate events.  A couple of days ago I was out collecting eggs.  If you have been by the farm you've seen the white webbed fence around the chicken yards.  That fence can be electrified to keep chickens in and predators out.  So... I'm carrying a pail of eggs and decided to get into the chicken yard for something. No need to turn off the fence.  I can get my legs high enough to get over without getting zapped. Apparently I'm not the Rock-ette I used to be and my second foot over got caught in the webbing and I was now straddling the fence on one leg unable to move.  I couldn't get my foot out.  A customer was driving down our lane witnessing me hopping around on one leg, holding a heavy pail of eggs with electricity shooting through my tender areas every 2 seconds.  Always wanting to be the best in customer service, I waved to the lady in the car as I went down.  Still trying to detangle my foot, I laid on the ground assessing the damage.  Many of the valuable eggs were now scrambled and to add insult to injury, a chicken had ambled over and started to peck at my head.  I heard the customer giggling as she drove away. This week in our market we have: Spring onions Red Russian kale Curly kale Radishes Arugula Mild salad mix Spicy salad mix Bok Choi Butter crunch head lettuce Swiss Chard Asparagus Spinach Eggs Honey Duck eggs Also,  last fall many of you were asking about free-range heritage turkeys for the holidays.  I may be jumping the gun a bit, but wanted you to know, I believe we have found a connection for these incredibly tasty birds.  Keep you posted.
