Local friends! I’m
putting in a group order to buy Freedom Ranger meat chickens. They would ship in November and will be ready to process Early February. You need to pick them up within a day of them arriving. The last time I ordered them with shipping they go for about $5 each and if processing is an issue the local slaughter house at 56th and Hillsborough will do them easily. PM me!

So I left the homestead in the capable hands of my menfolk and I am happy to report all is alive and well! 2 Weeks away and the critters survived!

So this time of year is my favorite because all the recipes I want to try out for next years market get developed now! Buying of seed for September planting and getting to focus on myself and the homestead! Oh yeah, and a double root canal.. Yuck.

Luffa is planted. Roselle is planted. Sweet potato is planted. (It planted itself). The Purple Possum Passionfruit is going bananas! SO MUCH FRUIT....... If you are local and want a cutting, message me! You want to try some fruits? Message me. My neighbors are growing weary of my free fruits.

Let's hope the hurricane season is much calmer this year. New generator needs to get warmed up for the season. Propane tanks topped off. Broke generator needs to get fixed. Part is on the desk with all the other things left undone. For emergency water, we don't buy endless flats of bottled water. We have a 5 gallon 10 bottle system and the trusty Berkey water purifier. We have 50 gallons of purified water available at any time without adding more plastic trash to the landfill. Have a few bottles that need refilling too.

The other fun part of this time of year is hatching!! The chicken babies we hatched at school are so cute. I have a customer who is trying to preserve the genetics of her current flock so I have had batches of eggs incubating for her. Now that I am home I have 3 dozen quail eggs in as well.

Stay tuned! And as always, if you need any elderberry syrups or my other products, I am just a text message away!

Next round of eggs set for my customer! 12 fresh laid chicken eggs incubating. I offer incubation services of any feathered creature from quail to goose. Every hatch starts with a sanitized incubator and eggs from different customers never share space with another customers eggs. Pics of the last batch of eggs as well, for the cuteness!

Best part of summer break. Real breakfasts! Poached yard bird eggs on sautéed peppers, eggplant, tomato and onions with homemade salsa verde, all from ingredients grown at Strawberry Passion Organics farm and pickled okra from Grandpa G’s.

And just like that, the market season is over. We had a great time with all of our friends, family, and amazing customers. Farmer Jerry and his family are the best and we can’t wait to come back in October to do it all again. The trailer is packed and ready to be brought back to the house and the remaining product left unsold is headed for the closet.

Was that being said, if you need any products, I am merely a text message away with a pick up in the 33617 area code.
