Its chicken time again! We will have our fall batch ready for pick-up October 1st. Our business has grown and life has become very busy, so we are streamlining our process a bit this time around: Minimum order of 10 chickens, pick up at our farm in Helena only, and we need your cooler in advance so we can have them packed on ice ready to go for you. This will allow us to better manage the volume and focus on growing delicious food instead of administrative tasks! Please reserve your chickens ASAP. Our customer base has grown and they will go fast!

Out enjoying a fresh buffet of clover, frogs and a salamander! Don't be fooled by "vegetarian fed" as a superiority claim on your egg cartons.....Chickens are definitely not vegetarians! In BG with eggs tomorrow, Perrysburg next Tuesday, and always available for farm-pick up.

NOW TAKING CHICKEN ORDERS FOR JUNE 18TH PICK-UP! No hormones, no antibiotics, lots of green pasture and sunshine! $4/lbs. Call, comment, or message me!

Last call for chicken in 2015

Chicken! We are nearly sold out for our October 3rd pick-up date (final pick-up date for the 2015 season), so if you want to order chicken please contact me ASAP. Eggs will continue to be available year round. We are busy making plans to keep our hens safe and warm through the winter. At this point they are enjoying the fall weather, the extra herbs I am harvesting for them, and are laying more every day, so tell your friends ;) [ 91 more words. ]

Chicken, Eggs and Apples

Thank you to everyone for making our first chicken processing day a success! It was a little hectic, and we definitely learned how to make things go more smoothly at pick-up next time, but in the end everyone ended up with delicious chicken and we are so excited to have shared this experience with you all! Our garden has really slowed down this last week, and we are using most everything in our clean convenience meals. [ 100 more words. ]

Produce, Eggs and Chicks, Oh My!

I can't believe it, but the feeling of an impending fall season has arrived! I love how every season not only feels, but sounds different. In the spring, I am so excited to here the spring peepers. Summer nights are rich with the sounds of crickets and tree frogs, and the last week or so, the cicadas bring the sound of summer's end. [ 241 more words. ]

Share bags are $25 this week and will be ready for pick-up/delivery Wed. I still have a few left so let me know if you'd like one!
This week our share bags will include the following:
2 cucumbers
zucchini and yellow squash....quite a bit of it!
1 kohlrabi
1 pint tomatoes (mixed varieties, I have grape, cherry, yellow pear, roma, and 4th of July. All are producing, but none are in great shape due to the wet, so every bag will likely be a bit different)

Mixed bunch of herbs
You have several options to collect them:
1. I will be at the Common Good, 113 Crim Street, BG from 10:15-10:30 Wed.
2. You can come to the farm Wed. 4-8pm or by appointment

Notes from a Less Wet Farm

I am almost afraid to say it (lest some pop up suddenly!), but we made it through today without any of the predicted thunderstorms! It was hot and sunny most of the weekend, and the vegetables are responding to this more summer-like weather. The broiler chickens are thriving in the brooder and will be outside on pasture by next week. I will start making contacts later this week to take orders for chicken (August 29th approximate processing and pick-up date) but feel free to contact me first to reserve your birds.

*What do I do with……
Kohlrabi-peel it and eat it raw—crunchy and mild! Peel, cube and boil it-add a little butter and salt. Shred it and toss with olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic and salt for a delicious slaw—my favorite!
Herbs: Dill and chives go great with cucumbers. Slice your cucumbers, toss them with a few tablespoons of sour cream, and snip in the chives and dill-delish! Thyme and chives are fantastic with sautéed zucchini, just snip them in at the very end of cooking. Mint is delicious crushed in lemonade or iced tea. Just smash it up a bit to release the flavors, but leave the leaves intact on the stem. (You’ll look very fancy, too!)

07/10/2015

Despite the weather, the tomatoes are starting to ripen. A bit yellow in the leaves, but there is hope yet!
