Down on the FarmHowdy,As we begin the produce season, we would like to share the farm plan for this year. Steve will return to the Baltimore Airwaves with the new Rouse and Company morning radio show May 16 on Q1370AM, 99.9FM and online at Q1370.com. So, we are cutting back some on our planting this season. Vicky is assuring everyone that with her spending more time at the helm, things will be run better than ever! We have a number of restaurants that we will continue to supply this year. Our market, here on the farm, will depend on what we have to harvest and how much the chefs purchase each week. If the chefs buy everything we have available during the week, our market will not be open. If they don't, then our farm market will be open Saturday from 9-4. We will send you an email each week by Thursday evening, letting you know whether the market will be open that week and if it is, what's available. The market will continue to be open 10-6 seven days a week for self serve eggs and honey. We also have asparagus available on the weekends now while it lasts. Razz Yoga will be, once again, offering outdoor on the farm yoga classes every Saturday morning at 9 beginning May 28. You can sign up by going to Razzyoga.com. If anyone knows a sun dance feel free to perform. | ||

Hey Everyone! Feels like spring! More importantly, whatever they put on the field next door smells like .....spring? Wow, it's bad!Hope you all had a decent past few months since the last time we chatted. We have gone through our chicken freezer and have sorted out a few items that we have an abundance of. So this Saturday from 9-4 our market will be open for "Legs, Livers and Hearts!" We have an excess supply of chicken legs, chicken livers and chicken hearts that we will be selling for half price. The drumsticks are priced at $1.25 a pound and the hearts and livers at $1.50 per pound. It's a good time to stock up! In other news......due to me taking another job weekday mornings we will be scaling the farm back a bit this year. We will not be offering the produce or the chicken CSA programs this year. However, we will still have our produce market open here at the farm. Our plan is to have the market open for produce Saturdays from 9-4 this summer. We will keep you posted on when items become available as we have in the past. Eggs and honey continue to be self serve at the farm everyday 10-6
See you Saturday!

Down on the FarmWhat 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. Hope to see you this weekend! | ||
