Happy New Year!
Hope everyone had a great holiday season. Things were especially busy around Cane Creek this season, not just for us people, but for the animals as well. Few know this, but the animals get pretty excited for their holiday festivities. For example- after being born in the past few weeks, the baby lambs and goats, along with their parents, 
put on quite the pageant, complete with a wonderful manger scene and Christmas carols hee-hawed by our otherwise useless, but adorable, donkeys (who, interestingly, sounded a lot like Bob Dylan’s new christmas album). All the animals showed up (except of course for the cows-they’re hindu) and we had a wonderful Christmas eve meal of veggie scraps.
New Years was a bit more hectic- after 2 weeks of snacking on garden remnants, the pigs say they’re feeling gross and have threatened new year’s resolutions to diet. The ducks, as is their tendency, drank too much new years eve and still haven’t recovered (I got a call at 3am and had to come pick them up in an egg mobile). As for the cows, they by-pass the whole season until of course, the national championship game tomorrow (big texas fans, all you hear around the pastures is “hook ‘em horns”).
Are you still reading? Why? Anyhoot, everything is grand around here. We moved the pigs into our gardens and they’re busy eating, tilling, and fertilizing. The new lambs are adorable. Eggs have ceased for a while, and we’re stocked up on beef, so no fresh beef for a bit. We’re still at Carrboro every Saturday (9-12), Greensboro every other week (8-12; starting this weekend the 9th). Remember that we deliver every week to Chatham Market Place and Saxapahaw General. And of course our store is still open Thursdays 2-6 and Saturdays 10-4.
What else? It’s cold. Lot’s of frozen waterers, lots of over-alls. And although it feels weird, we’re evening looking through seed catalogs and starting to plan this year’s garden (any requests?). If you’re in the mood for some healthy home-cooked meals, come pay us a visit. Otherwise, just stay warm and we’ll see you all in time
