Orders This Week
OK, terrific farm boxes going out this week! Such a beautiful and colorful array of produce, the weather so far this year has really been good for crops. The word is Strawberries really will be back next week, we had a late report today that they will be in for sure (if we had them back-ordered for you we will replace them automatically if you have a box going out). Otherwise everyone on the farms are planting, planning and preparing for the big Spring push!
We're glad to offer our Spring Investment Membership Special again (see details below) with a terrific incentive to pre-pay for your orders and gain a tasty return on your Investment.
Come on out for our Moore Farms Cooking Class this Saturday, we'll have a great time in Farmhouse kitchen preparing some favorite dishes and showing you our tips and tricks for vegetables, meats and dairy items. (See details below, you can still Register even when the rest of the Online Market is closed!) Also we have opened up the Spring Farm Day reservations! We have a great time meeting, greeting and eating here at Moore Farms with some Baby Chick petting and Farm Touring in the mix. Meet our new Farm Manager Garver Akers and his lovely family and we'll have a proper Market Tent set up with all kinds of goodies for sale including vegetable and flower plants, meats, cheeses and farm canned goods. Great for ALL ages, you don't have to be a kid to have fun on our Farm Day!

We have four Investment Membership levels with returns varying from 3-7% (you're not going to find that great rate at your bank or credit union and we are delicious, too!). If you sign up or renew through March 20th 2012 we'll throw in the $30 Annual Membership, too! Investment Members get two-for-one pricing for farm events and don't have to enter your credit card every time you order (very handy if you're on the run!).

- How Many: Minimum 10 orders per group

Vidahlia will be writing periodic reports for all of us to give her 6-year-old perspective about life here at Moore Farms! This is the first in her series. . .

"I have been helping Laurie with the chickens. I feed and water them, and get their eggs. I like taking care of chickens. One of the hens is sitting on eggs. They are hatching one by one. Eggs take 21 days to hatch."
