Fresh-made Peanut Butter, Flavored peanuts (nine flavors), Salted Runner & Spanish peanuts
|
Hi everyone,
Just a short note to let you know we have plenty of peanuts and peanut butter. They're good for snacks or for baking or cooking with, and we're always happy to make what you need.
We're rejoicing right now because we got a little rain - 6 tenths, but that's more than we've gotten in a long time. We even saw a puddle or two!
God bless,
Jamie and Stephanie Snider and family

Oklahoma Organic Garden Planner 
A reminder, ALL our products are still available this month: 2014 Oklahoma Garden Planner (# 2714), Herb Booklet (# 2722), & 2014 Garden Calendar (# 2597). What makes the Planner a more valuable tool is the completeness of this work. It includes not only the Garden Calendar, BUT -- The 'Appendix' is intended as a miniature encyclopedia of gardening information: plant variety & tool lists; how to use math in the garden, including specific helpful formulae; OKC weather averages for the ENTIRE year; a gardening dictionary; easy-to-read pH chart; seed company contact data; a list of books, magazines, & TV/radio shows on gardening; and an abbreviated "Growing Guide" containing LOTS of growing info presented in an 'at-a-glance' format. The 'Forms' section includes specifically-designed hard copy sheets for recording what YOU did and WHEN & HOW you did it. This allows you to avoid mistakes (no one sees it but you!) and repeat your successes next year. Track crop performance so you'll know what varieties did/didn't work for you, plan your seed-starting times & transplant dates to make best use of timing, keep inventory of seed & supplies on-hand to help control co$t, and so much more. Make as many copies as needed to insure you don't forget any details of your efforts. HAPPY GARDENING! WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO TO HELP? Bill & Trudy Smith 405.732.3361 midwestsmitty@cox.net

Cattle Tracks

HELLO & HOWDY from John's Farm. Two gals spent Earth Day tromping around on John's Farm, from the prairie grasses at one of our OK Centennial Farms to the rocky top of one of the Gloss Mountains on our other OK Centennial Farm. What a time of sharing, laughing, and taking pictures. This venture has me thinking more seriously about hosting Gals at the Farm Gate in the near future!!
Pastures - seems there is a lot of discussion about pastures and grass fed these days and rightfully so. Cattle Tracks Beef graze grass pastures from day one to processing; that's because calves are born in the wide open pastures, live there 24/7/365 and step from grass pasture into the stock trailer that delivers them to our processor only one short hour's drive away. It's their grass diet with minimal organic oats and organic barley that allows them to thrive and develop tasty, tender meat.
Our Earth day guests were amazed at the sustainability of John's Farm; we are all about sustainability which is why John was awarded the Henry Bellmon Sustainability Award, Environmental Stewardship. John's Farm's sustainability is going into the next generation with the addition of our daughter and son (in law) joining us to learn the specifics of certified organic, non-GMO verified, animal welfare approved, sustainable farming. When you read articles, and there are plenty of them out there, about young people leaving agriculture remember that Jason and Lesli are going against-the-tide; they are coming home to the farm!
We will be adding to product inventory next week as processing is on-going. Orders will be packed with care and the addition of our monthly newsletter, including recipes and photos. BE BLESSED!

Double R Farms
 | | Berkshire, Large Black Hog and Large Black Berkshire crossed Pork, Grass Fed Criollo Beef, Crillo cross beef, Free Range Eggs and Moo to You |
Hello Everyone,
I really think spring is here and I, for one, am very glad. And with spring comes babies. We've had puppies and calves and new piglets All our cattle and pigs are born on our farm and spend their lives on our farm. They all have acres to roam in and ponds to swim in and trees to sleep under on a lazy summer afternoon. The pigs get to root and roam as they would in the wild. The cows spend their days grazing pastures with shade trees and ponds without chemical fertilizers.
Being an Animal Welfare Approved farm there is no animal byproducts in any of our feeds. In addition I supplement the pigs with organic sweet potatoes, farm fresh eggs and veggies.
Our heritage breed chickens have really picked up production and we have plenty of eggs to go around. Free to roam wherever they please, they provide us with the best eggs money can buy.
Although we have beef from our Criollo and Criollo cross cattle several times a year, pork is our main product. Look for beef in our listings this fall.
This month we are introducing another sausage. Last month Brats, this month in addition to the brats we have mild Italian Sausage. They come 4 to a package and are just in time for grilling season. We are very pleased with both of these and feedback has been great. We hope you will enjoy them too.
We are increasing our herd size and hope to have more of the items that everyone loves in the coming months.
 We want to thank you for your continued support for us and all your local farmers

Tell A Little Story Handmade Apothecarial Goods
At TALS, we focus on natural body care products that we believe are unique. Our pain bar is a natural remedy for joint pain, bruises, and body aches. It uses menthol for an "icy-hot" tingle, and a blend of essential oils for inflammation.  Our Shower Bomb is perfect for relieving spring allergies. It also uses menthol, in a fizzy base that will open and clear the sinuses while you shower. We aren't the only lip balm producer out there, but ours is fantastic for long-lasting, soothing moisture. The coconut oil, mango butter, and beeswax base produce the fabulous result, and our flavors come from organic essential oils. Check them out! |
