Things got pretty busy for a while. Sick kids, going through seed catalogs and getting orders together, planning the space out for planting, and life in general. There will be more updates on the toms as we get them planted and watch them grow into adult life, pictures, taste updates, etc.
What else will we be planting? LOTS! I am still going through all the lettuce and green types trying to get orders for those together so we can send them out as well. I will be planting Cos, Arugula, Swiss Chard, Butterhead, Mesclun, Romain, Victoria, and more.
We currently have chickens, but will be buying more to add to our flock. We are looking into getting Araucana chickens because of the lovely blue and green eggs they lay. We will also be buying meat chickens for sale, so if you would like to get an order in let us know! The sale price will be $4.50 per pound for our pasture raised beauties. We will be doing on farm processing, and because of regulations all chickens must be picked up on the farm. No selling at the farmers markets, which is too bad really. If it is safe to sell the processed chickens on the farm, why can we not take the same chickens to the market? Just another of the thousands of regulations that tie our hands in how we live our lives. I would prefer a more live and let live method, fewer regulations and let the consumer make their own choices about where their food comes from.
