News from the Farm 

 

Naked sheep! We sheared sheep last month and the babies will start arriving March 15th. As tiring as it is to make treks to the barn every 4 to 6 hours (around the clock - for weeks!), Spring and the new babies remind me why I do what I do.

Here is a video of the two shearers shearing side by side:  Sheep Shearing
 
 

This month I will keep a journal to be published in Farm & Ranch magazine! I am very excited.


Work continues on a new web site just for the soaps which will allow for easier ordering via mail order.
 

We also hope to revamp the (meat) shopping cart later this year. Please give us your input on changes you'd like to see! We plan to make the font larger and navigation within the site easier.
 

Last week Miss Tina and I began taking more meat pictures for the web site, so look for new pictures coming soon!

TOGA! TOGA!
 
No, not a Toga Party "Animal House" Style, but the TN Organic Growers Conference! This is a GREAT opportunity to learn more and you do not have to be involved in farming to attend. Almost all of the program will appeal to consumers! Peaceful Pastures is providing meat for the yummy lunch!
