We have a special Thanksgiving week pick-up TONIGHT [at Full and By Farm] between 4 and 6—sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and potatoes for your big meal, and something other than turkey for the day after. The pullets have been hard at work making extra eggs this week for holiday baking and guest feeding, egg shareholders can take home an extra carton.
Winter Share Forms
If you haven’t done so already please return your winter share forms tonight. We’ll open up the share to new members after this evening. Forms are available if you have missed them in the past weeks and we can answer any questions about the exciting foods you’ll find here through the cold months of winter.
Last Calf of the Season
We happily welcomed in the last calf of the season Sunday night. A percentage-defying six out of seven calves this year have been heifers (female calves), a terrific thing if you are trying to grow your herd, not so great for containing it’s size. Still shaky on her legs, she’s a mirror image of her mom Winter, we’ll entertain any name suggestions so long as they start with the letter W to follow her family line.
