Farm Update

Down on the Farm First the bad news...our egg prices will be rising on May 1 to $4.50 for large/extra large and $5 for jumbo.  Now on to more pleasant conversation. We are interested to know how many of you might take advantage of produce delivery from the farm if it were available. We would deliver once a week to customers within a 10 mile radius of the farm.  Please let us know if you have an interest. This cool spring has raised havoc with the cole crops.  All the veggies are still alive, but are just sitting there.  It almost seemed like I could see plants growing today as it warmed up a bit.  Also as you come down the drive to the farm, you will see chickens "every where" as one customer commented today.  We have changed our strategy with the girls a bit.  Instead of fencing them in, we have fenced in our crops!  So the chickens have much more freedom that way.  We'll see how that works out. Getting back to the cole crops, which as you know I always thought was cold crops for most of my life, our friend Andy told us something quite interesting the other day.  Where do you think the name "cole slaw" came from.  It came from the cole crop it's made from, cabbage!  I just have always excepted the name without ever thinking why this concoction was called "cole" slaw.
