Old man winter is really paying us a visit this time. Some are saying this is the coldest period in a generation. Another report is we are on track to be in the top ten coldest winters on record. However, I remember cold times back in the 60’s and 70’s so it does not seem unusual. Anyway, cold is cold!
According to the forecast Saturday will be a carbon copy of last Saturday with high temperatures below freezing and wind. So we will not be at the market.
However, you are welcome to come to the farm most any day if you like. Just call or email to let us know so we will be expecting you. Directions are available at MapQuest. Phone numbers are listed below. We have a good supply of Jersey beef and pastured chicken. And we are up to our necks with fresh farm eggs. Vegetables will have to thaw before we can tell if any are still marketable.
We are staying busy with our winter projects and preparing for the upcoming growing season. Seed and supply orders are going out and we have been working on a new greenhouse. Look for some pictures in the near future.
Of course, we have been keeping a good fire going and that requires cutting wood. We have several large oak trees that have died due to the recent drought so we are using them for firewood. There’s nothing like a wood fire on a cold winter night!
Next week is forecast to be warmer so maybe we can return to our Saturday market days. We will try to keep you informed.
