News from the Farm
| Paul Revere and Honey |
We have lots of happenings to relay this month! Be sure to follow the newsletter all the way to the bottom!
Two new kittens have come to the farm: Louie and Baloo and there is a new PUPPY! A friend from Bible study had this adorable, mostly border collie pup dumped at their house and since Jenny lost her border collie in January, it just seemed like perfect timing! Find pictures of our new friends throughout this newsletter!
Our tiny community of Lancaster has a 4th of July parade; this year a friend called the night before wanting to borrow one of our horses for "Paul Revere" to ride to lead the parade. (BTW, "Paul Revere" hadn't ridden a horse in 30 years...) He came out that evening for a practice ride on our beloved babysitter horse, Honey, and the next day led the parade!
Darrin's grandmother passed away at age 97 and just last month was still push mowing her yard! Thank you to all the customers who were so understanding with our lapses in customer service that week (Miss Tina was away on vacation). |
Farmers Market News
| Kitty Baloo |
Unfortunately, all three of our summer interns abandoned ship so we have had to alter our market commitments. We are no longer attending TUESDAY FFM, HCA and Forest Hills markets. BUT we are interviewing for local, year round help.
Don't forget that if you did not pay for your CSA in full at the time of sign up, the balance is due by August 1.
We'll bring BATH SALTS this month to the markets are they are NEW and ON SALE!
New next month at the markets by popular request---CHICKEN THIGHS! We also hope to have HOT Italian sausage by then (we are awaiting USDA label approval) and Andouille sausage!
