Wood Duck Farm
Lots of corn, green beans, potatoes planted this week for the spring. It has been a relatively dry week, so we are now having to overhead irrigate these newly planted crops to insure good germination. Hoping to get our tomato seedling transplanted this coming week. Looks like a nice few days ahead, we are hoping to soon get back to clearing the back 40 acres again.
FYI, we will have pints of our sustainably grown strawberries available at the Urban Harvest located on Eastside, between Richmond & Alabama.
Just a reminder that egg, honey, cheese etc. orders are due tonight, Saturday, by midnight. Visit to WDF Order Online or read further to get an sample idea of what's available. Do I need to be a CSA member? Nope! Just order online and pick up at one of our thirteen Houston area locations.

Sand Creek Gouda* Houston Dairymaids brings us this sustainable semi-firm cheese from Cameron, Texas: "New cheesemaker Ben Godfrey is already showing great promise with his raw-milk Gouda. Made from the Grade A Jersey milk of his small herd, the Sand Creek Gouda is buttery and mild with just enough tang to keep it interesting. It's the kind of cheese that calls you to the refrigerator late at night." Or in the morning, or in the afternoon . . .approx. 8 oz. @ $9.00
Honey from Reed Family Farms* Many of you know Wendy as the "Honey Lady" down at the Saturday Urban Harvest Farmer's Market.

Their guarantee to you, our customer, is that they only deliver a product that is of the highest, most pure quality.
