The mini-store is now open, though it’s a bit icy and hazardous in the parking area near the entrance. So if you stop by BE CAREFUL! We have lots of pork including bacon and some sausage and hams. We also have plenty of stewing hens which are still great for soups and stews. The soup made with these hens is to die for – so rich and yellow with the perfect amount of georgeous fat!
EGGS? Coming next week! Look for the smaller pullet eggs to appear in the fridge by mid-week. Our new flock will be arriving next week! Though the pasture is still buried we are busy building a second movable coop to accomodate all the new birds…as we are expanding our flock! This year we’ll have 600 birds on pasture. Once the birds start laying we hope to never run out again. We know many of you came to the mini-store and left emptyhanded at the end of last season. This was tough for everyone so we hope to avoid that this season with the addition of many new birds. At this time of year the yolks won’t be deep orange quite yet, but we have asked our feed company to include organic alfalfa into the feed ration to help with nutrient content and color. As soon as the pasture returns the birds will be out on the fields!
PRE-ORDERING for 2012? Yes yes, coming very very soon! We are wrapping up dates and details for our product offerings this season. Just wait a couple of more days! Thanks for your patience!
