We’ve had someone shoveling just about around the clock here for the last couple of days, with no signs of stopping. From far above it must look like an ant colony—pathways running around the barns, outbuildings and different compost piles, intersecting with one another at all sorts of angles. It’s a fun way to visualize a small and busy farm, all of our movements laid down and frozen in snow if not time.
We will have the share ready tonight, complete with parking spaces and walkways to the csa room. Hopefully members can all make it out of your driveways and down the street to resupply your pantries.
In the Farm Shares
In the veggie share: shallots, winter squash, leeks, white, blue and fingerling potatoes, garlic, red and white onions, green, red and savoy cabbage, carrots, beets, wheat berries, whole wheat regular flour and pastry flour. Next week: brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes for more holiday cooking.
In the meat share: Pork, beef, broilers and stew birds in the freezer. Stock and organ meats from beef and chickens. Lard and leaf lard are available for holiday baking.
