It's an eggtacular!!

With just a couple of weeks to go, it's time to through caution to the wind and go farm crazy.  I've scrambled around and decided to cut our egg price in half!!  That's right this is not a yolk,ah joke.  Eggs from our chickens to you will be $2 per dozen during market hours only this Friday 10-6, Saturday 9-3 and Sunday 9-noon.  No, I haven't cracked up.  No, my brain is not fried.  No, I haven't rolled over easy and given up. It's simply time to lay a deal on you. Credit cards, cash and chicks, ah, I mean, checks accepted.

Our Farm Market open Friday 10-6, Saturday and Sunday 9-3

We still have a few apples from Oyler's Organic Orchard left for the market this weekend but more importantly, we have a bunch of their cider in half gallon containers.  Everyone that purchased some cider last weekend seem to have agreed that the cider is pretty incredible!  I'm trying to figure out how to stay warm in the market with the upcoming chilly forecast.  I've decided to insert hand and foot warmers in all my clothing.  So when you come into the market and I appear to have gained an enormous amount of weight in the last week, it's probably the internal stacking of the warmers.  In the market:

Apples and Cider

APPLES & CIDER!!!

Once again this year we will be making a run to our friends at Oyler’s Organic Orchards in Biglersville, Pa. to bring back delicious organic apples and the best cider on the planet.  We will take orders from now through midnight this Sunday and have your apples and cider back here at the farm for pick up next weekend 11/3-11/5  Friday 10-6 and Saturday and Sunday 9-3.
Apples available this year are:
Golden Supreme - A good multipurpose apple due to it’s crispness.  The flavor is sweet tart.
Golden Delicious - Sweet, mellow and juicy.  Less firm than Golden Supreme, but still a firm apple.
Red Delicious - Sweet but very mild flavor.  Refreshing due to it’s light crispness.
Ida Red - Sweet tart apple with slightly pink flesh.  Great applesauce apple.
York - A lope shaped apple that’s firm, crisp, slightly tart and juicy.  Ideal for storing over the winter months.
The cider is made from just their organic blend of apples and nothing else.  It is not pasteurized and has a shelf life of 2 weeks.  It freezes very well.  We froze a bunch last time we had it and it was delicious.  This is, no joke, the best cider I have ever had!
We can do pricing that is less than most organic apples I have seen in stores.  They may not be as picture perfect, but are very good.  Cider will be a bit more then I’ve seen, but worth it.
Apples @ $2.72/pound  Cider @ $6/half gallon and $9.50/gallon

Farm Update

Market Open Friday 10-6, Saturday and Sunday 9-3

As you drive down our lane to get to the market, maybe you have noticed some signs that appear to be kind of cockeyed crosses.  They are stakes that have the type of mint, they're hammered in, written on them.  They, apparently to some, appear to be graves.  A customer last weekend asked me if they were the burial plots for some of my favorite chickens! No, I've never named the chickens, let alone Mojito, Peppermint, Lemon or Mint Julep.  I'm trying to come up with a better way to remember what type of mint I have planted and where.

Delivery Menu

Here's our delivery menu for this week.  One thing I have to mention is that our broccoli has had a different look this week.  The heads, a yellow green and the texture, much more dense. I've tasted plenty and it tastes fine.  So the investigation began.  One of two things have happened, I believe.  Either the broccoli and cauliflower, which were grown next to each other, got together and cross pollinated so we now have broccoflower or caulccoli. Or....someone mislabeled the broccoli transplants and I, unknowingly, planted two different varieties instead of one.

Delivery Anyone?

We have received a few requests to offer delivery of our honey, eggs and fresh organic produce to neighbors in our area. I’m thinking a Thursday evening delivery may work for us through the fall season.  Some may be to far from the farm for this to be practical, but instead of setting a radius, try me, and we’ll see if we can make it work.  There will be a $5 delivery charge for this service.  Call, text or email with your order and questions.  410-215-6776.

Farm Update

Market Open Saturday and Sunday 9-3 

Summer's back!!!  We were worried about our
Fall broccoli, what with all the warmer weather of late.  When broccoli gets to hot during it's growth cycle, it can look beautiful and taste horrible. That's why we seldom plant spring broccoli anymore, it gets so hot so quick in the spring that the broccoli turns real bitter and weird.  The good news is, we tried it this week and it tastes real good!  So you will see the first cuttings this weekend in the market along with:

Red Beets
Yellow Beets
Sweet Potatoes
Green Bell Peppers
Delicata Squash
Butternut Squash
Spring Salad Mix
Arugula
Red Fingerling Potatoes
Yukon Gold Potatoes
Red Potatoes
Carrots
Radishes
Swiss Chard
Spinach
Kale
Onions
Eggs
Honey
Broccoli

See you down at the farm!

Market Open Friday 9-7 and Saturday 9-12 noon

Well, when you come down the lane to the market you may hear a sound we haven't heard in a while around these here parts....the crowing of a rooster!  In an attempt to help keep hawks at bay we have been joined by pork chop and basil (pronounced Bah-sil).  They've been together from the time they were chicks.  Saturday their brother, Dill, will join the flock as well.  I thought the girls would be freaked out, but they seem to follow the boys around and are quite friendly with them.  (Wah Wah Wah) All I know is that at the beginning of the week I collected 32 eggs, today I collected 73!  Lot of great items in the market tomorrow and Saturday morning:

Red Beets
Yellow Beets
Sweet Potatoes
Green Bell Peppers
Delicata Squash
Butternut Squash
Spring Salad  Mix
Arugula
Red Fingerling Potatoes
Yukon Gold Potatoes

Fall Produce Starting and Other Stuff

It may not be much, at the moment, but a few of the fall plantings are ready or getting close.  We have a small amount of arugula ready to go and it's delicious!  The cooler then average temps have helped the bugs stay off the leaves so it looks great too.  If you're looking for arugula today or this weekend stop by and we will go out and cut it while you're here.  It will only take a couple of minutes and it so good cut fresh.  $4 a quarter pound.  Radishes should be ready next week. Lettuce is coming soon as well.  Along with these, we have planted:
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Cabbage
Kale
Carrots
Spinach
Beets
Turnips
Potatoes
Green Beans

We will let you know when these become available.

We have 100 new laying chickens that should start popping out their eggs in 2-3 weeks.

We are helping our honey bees get ready for winter by treating them for Varroa mites.  Mites have become a huge problem for the bees and most hives have them.

So I'm out laying in the field getting ready to take in the eclipse a few days ago.  It was about 2:30ish, face up to the sky, eyes closed tight, quite relaxing really.  Next thing I know, Vicky is near me asking if I was all right!  I totally missed the eclipse, but that two hour nap was AOK.

P.S.  It feels so good to be back on the farm!!

Free cucumbers!

As we were heading out to start planting our fall crops, we detoured by the cucumbers.  There are a lot of cucumbers in our small cuke area.  We will have them in the market on the counter for you. Just come in and help yourselves.

So, the planting begins this weekend for the autumn.  Going in this weekend are broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage transplants and in the next few days, potatoes, beets, lettuce, arugula, swiss chard, kale, turnips, carrots, radishes, beans and spinach.  We will be going to pick up the new laying chickens in a couple of weeks!  Don't forget we always have honey.

Come over and get a cucumber!

The new farm looks familiar

We're Back!

Yes, it's true.....After an exhaustive search for the next farm, we are exhausted.  We exhausted all the possibilities and found none that we liked better than the current Rousedale Farm.  And now that the exhaust systems on our vehicles are exhausted from the many exhausting trips, here's the plan:
1..We start planting fall veggies in a couple of weeks
2..We get all the coolers, counters and shelves back in the market.
3..New laying chickens arrive in mid August for egg sales.
4..We have re-started our apiary with 2 hives of honey bees, in hopes of adding more.
5..We begin planning the full re-start for spring.
6..We are excited!

Don't forget we have honey for sale everyday.

We're looking forward to getting started again, but most importantly we're psyched to see all of you guys again!

Locally Yours,

Vicky and Steve

Blueberries

Hi everyone!  As Paul Revere once said,"The blueberries are ready, the blueberries are ready!" Are you interested in picking some beautiful, organic blueberries?   Because we have a limited amount we will have to schedule the picking. Please email us if you would like to do some picking and tell us when you can come.  We will contact you on a first come, first serve basis and set up a time.  Those that can come sooner than later will be first on the list as the berries won't just sit around and wait for you.  Many bushes are ready now.  There should be more in the next couple of weeks.  $5 per pound.

Locally Yours,

Vicky and Steve
