Farm Newsletter: May 2012
MAY NEWSLETTER Wow, we didn't even get this newsletter written in the first half of the month! Yikes We'll blame that on how busy everything is around here. We know, you hear that every month. But the gardens are in full swing, the markets are going, and we have a animals in every corner of the farm, so we are busy. And just like you, our social calendars seem to get fuller in the warmer months... So briefly, here are a few things to look forward to: Products - As a result of our inability to say "no" to anything, we decided to raise ...
Farm Newsletter: April 2012
Well it looks like our spring season has been brief and we are jumping right into summer, or so it seems with these 80 degree days already. The garden crops are loving it and potatoes, onions, garlic, broccoli, cabbage are all growing rapidly-- it should be a bumper crop. It has turned quite lush out here with all the rain and the warmth. New grass is sprouting on our resting pens. That’s always amazing considering how denuded they look when the pigs are finished with them. That’s nature’s cycle though, breakdown and rebuild. Speaking of building, our farrowing house is getting phase ...

Farm Newletter: June-ish/July Newsletter — whatever its hot!
Dear Friends, Happy Solstice and Happy Birth of our Nation to all our favorite customers. It's just about hot enough to melt eggs and flowers and humans alike here on the farm but we are working hard and to keep everyone cool and watered down. We have a full summer crew right now at Cane Creek, having imported some friends from California and from the North. Having so many people on deck has helped tremendously with harvesting, chores, market, and fetching us lemonade while we sit back on the veranda playing cards (that’s for you, Ross (on a never-ending vacation) ). We have ...
Farm Newsletter: May 2011
["April with kids"] All is swell out here on the farm. We've seemed to have had a lot of visitors in the recent weeks. Keep it coming, we love it. (Store hours are still Thursdays 2-6, Saturdays 10-4). If you have been out, you know how green and alive everything seems to be.

Pork: Barbecue season has started, and we've been selling a number of ...
