Wood Duck Farm
November 8th, 2011
Last week we were able to plant over 8,000 strawberry bare root plants her at WDF. It was a long two days, but we got them in realtivily good shape. While we had to overhead irrigate for past several days, the predominate overcast weather has been accommodating and today's weather forecast suggests that we are in store for a good soaking later tonight. Let's hope so.
This Week's CSA Share Includes: Green Beans, Tomatoes, Zucchini, Bell Peppers, Salad Mix, and Rio Red Grapefruit. The citrus comes from Martin Family Groves, a sustainable farm down in Hidalgo County TX.
Smoked Turkey's For Thanksgiving? For the past several years WDF has been smoking turkeys for the holidays. We were thinking about not do them this year as they are so much work, but we have been bombarded with emails and "in-person" requests at the Saturday Farmer's Mkt. So call it guilt, or a "deep sickness yearning self-destruction," but we're going to fire up the smoke house again and do some "gobble gobble."
Our Turkeys are brined overnight with Kosher Salt and Black Strap Molasses. They are then hand seasoned, trussed, and placed in our smoke house. Our seasonings include fresh apples and herbs for our Holiday Bird and fresh cilantro, limes and peppers for our Texas bird. The prices are as follow:
10-12 lb.* trussed/seasoned bird $42
12-14 lb.* trussed/seasoned bird $49
16-18 lb.* trussed/seasoned bird $63
Smoked Turkeys can be picked up at one of our twelve area pick up locations in and around the Houston area Thanksgiving week. An added option is to pick up your turkey at the Urban Harvest Farmer's Market (located on Eastside between Richmond and Alabama) the Saturday before Thanksgiving. (Pick up days, except for Kingwood, will be moved forward one day for Thanksgiving week only. So, all Wednesday deliveries will arrive on Tuesday and all Thursday deliveries will arrive on Wednesday morning/early afternoon. For a link to see our pick up locations visit Pick Up Locations
