Happy Spring!

Good morning All!!!! 

So we filled the incubators on Sunday….do we need more chicks? Good golly NO, but there is something sweet and enduring  about watching those developing babies in an egg and being present when they break through the shell…… I marvel at the tenacity of life and how those little ones come from the shell and are ready to eat and drink just through instinct… I hatch all kinds of birds, chickens, turkey quail…. Ducks and geese require a bit more work but what satisfaction when I am successful.

The early warm temps means that we will be able to harvest fiddleheads and ramps a bit earlier this season, however, the tics are probably going to be very very bad this season. I had my big dogs out for a romp in the woods around the farm yesterday and luckily because their coats are a cream color, I was able to pick those bad guys off the fur of the boys before they got into the undercoat ……….ick, just ick…….

Our chickens are laying happily right now, so we have plenty of eggs, all colors, mediums, smalls, extra large and jumbo. If you would like white eggs for coloring let me know! We will be glad to package them up for you.

And so, we appreciate all of our weekly shoppers, your support of our small farmers, crafters and suppliers helps contribute to our buy local way of life! 

I look forward to hearing from you all, and am ever so grateful!
