We have had plenty of rain lately, in fact, it is raining right now. The grass is really growing which is making the cows happy. Our early cool season crops are up and beginning to grow. It looks like we may have the beginnings of a good growing season.
It is good to see the longer daylight hours since our workload really picks up this time of year. We are back to working 12 hours most days. Even with the rainy days we find plenty to do around the farm. When you enjoy what you are doing even the longer days seem short.
Our hours at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market this week are Friday (10:00 until 2:00) and Saturday (8:00 until 3:00).
We have a fresh supply of Pasture Finished Jersey Beef with all cuts available.
In Homegrown Pork we have ham and shoulder roast and hot breakfast sausage. We will have all the other cuts next week.
We are out of Pasture Raised Chicken until mid-May.
There are several dozen eggs available this week.
Early spring greens won’t last much longer but we have a good amount of kale, red Russian kale, and turnip greens.
We have a limited amount of plants from our greenhouse and will have some for sale this week. There will be about five kinds of tomato plants, buttercrunch lettuce, bright lights Swiss chard, and hybrid spinach.
Perhaps you could help us with a question. Would you be interested in pasture raised pheasant? We have been thinking about it but not sure what kind of interest there might be. They would be pretty expensive but ultra delicious. You could let us know what you think either by email or at the market.
It looks like it will be a warm sunny weekend for a change so we hope you will come on out to the market and visit with us.
