Farm Update

Now's the time to order corn for freezing or canning and any special chicken orders! Hi Everyone! We have two more weekends for corn.  If you have been thinking about putting some up, let us know today, for this weekend, or next week, for next weekend,  if you would like to order a few dozen.  The time has come to freeze or throw out the pot!  Also it looks like our next batch of fresh chicken will be in the cooler next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  If you would like to order anything different than our whole and whole cut up chicken, let us know now.  Remember, cut up chicken can be packaged any way you like and cut or deboned any way.  Of course a whole cut up chicken with boneless breast will cost more than a chicken with the bone in breast.  Call or email if you have any questions.  I will send out a quick email beginning of next week with definite days and times for the chicken. Thank you all for whatever you did to help bring on the beautiful rain we received last weekend.  It was perfect!  It helped a lot.  I must admit the couple of rain dance videos we received from some of our customers, though, I'm sure helpful, were quite frightening. This weekend's bounty: Sweet corn Kale Mild salad mix (lettuces) Beets Honey Chicken Eggs Arugula Butternut Squash Green Beans Basil Radishes We are attempting to find replacement hens for some of our older egg layers.  It seems next to impossible to find any that haven't had the tips of their beaks singed off.  Growers do that when they're day old chicks to avoid dangerous pecking when hens are grown in crowded conditions.  We certainly prefer a hen with a whole beak.  Vicky said she thought losing the end of the chicks beak is horrible and has to be painful.  I rebutted, "Have you ever heard of a bris!"

See you soon! Locally yours, Vicky and Steve
