Farm Update

Down on the Farm What a nice refreshing day this has been and in mid July? The weather has been so weird this year. Any time we hear crows and blue jays going crazy out back in the woods, we know that a hawk is near by.  The red tail hawk that visits here often...to often, is huge.  The wing span has to be four to five feet.  It always amazes me what a time the crows give the hawk.  Six or seven will circle the hawk in mid-air and really go after him.  I don't know why the hawk just doesn't turn on them and bite their heads off, which he could do easy enough, but never does.  And, of course, the lesson is, you can be a crow and you can be a hawk, just don't be a chicken. In the market: Carrots Sweet Corn Kale Swiss Chard Yellow Squash Beets (Red and Gold) Red Potatoes Romaine Lettuce Zephyr Summer Squash (yellow with a green tip, yummy) Zucchini Beautiful Fresh Basil Green Tomatoes (a few ripe ones) Fresh Ground Flour Zivot Probiotic Drinks (local) Cucumbers Honey Duck Eggs Chicken Eggs (if your timing is right) Green Peppers Arugula Green Beans Sweet Onions Spring Onions Garlic Mint (Mojito, Chocolate, Peppermint, Spearmint, Lemon Balm, Apple, Mint Julep) Herbs (Sage, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley, Basil, Lemon verbena etc) Our Sunday morning Yoga on the Farm was very cool.  Try to make it next time, August 2.  You can sign up at razzyoga.com The next cooking demo is tomorrow night with our third, in the summer series, August 7.
