Ohmygosh we have been enjoying some gorgeous Fall weather so far, very nice  for plants, animals and farmers. We are in a rush today (Wednesday October 17th) to get more seeds and plants in the ground ahead of the expected rain showers Thursday morning. The Black Beans this week have been a joy: they are simply delicious enjoyed fresh (the same way you would fresh Black Eyed Peas). We cleared out our whole patch and have been pulling the pods for, well, days now! Fortunately we had a new WWOOF intern arrive this week so Keiko has been having fun jumping right into the farm routine. Here she is with our long-tern WWOOF intern Justin and all-around farm helper Buddy the Dog overseeing everyone as usual!
Don't forget to make your Turkey Reservation!
You can reserve them even when the Online Market is closed.
Moore Farms Work Day: Saturday October 27th 2012
We have another date on the calendar now for folks who want to come out and have a fun day working with us on the farm! You can arrive on Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning and we'll work from 9am (Eastern time) to 5pm with a fabulous farm lunch. We have jobs for all levels of ability so no worries there, we have a good time and get some big jobs done working together on our beautiful farm. We do need to know how many to expect so please be sure to RSVP if you're planning to come out (don't just show up!), if you're going to camp Friday/Saturday night and if you have any food allergies or preferences.
RSVP by phone 256-449-9417 or email farm@moorefarmsandfriends.com
We have just added a bunch of Upcoming Events
to our website, check it out!
Fall Investment Membership Incentive It's that time of year again, each season we offer an extra reason to become an Online Market Investment Member. Depending on your level of Investment ($500-$5,000) you will enjoy a healthy and delicious return (3% - 7%), a Thank You Goodie Bag and Investment Members get two-for-one price for on-farm events. By essentially pre-paying for your orders (our average Member spends $1250 per year on our Online Market) you won't have to enter your credit card every time (yay!) and your support helps us to get some big jobs done. Plans for this Fall include the last phase of expansion on our Packing Shed, adding a bathroom to the intern Corncrib Cabin and the start of our Barn Conversion to make a big new event space. Other Members have noted that they can get miles/points on their credit card as another reason to invest. (If you would like to use PayPal or mail a check we can set that up for you, too.) For our Fall Incentive we'll give our new and renewing Investment Members a $50 Online Market Gift Certificate which you can use yourself or give as a gift or donate for a fundraising event. (Offer is good through October 30th.) Cool, huh? Check out the details here and consider becoming an Investor today!
