Harmony Acres: 3/27/11 Update...

Harmony Acres is a growing family farm that focuses on local, high quality, produce, chicken, eggs, and natural skin care products in order to meet the demand of a growing community that is becoming more aware of the importance of knowing when and where their food is grown/raised and how their skin care products are made. Wow, that sounds important! It is very encouraging to know that we are involved in a very important mission, and good to know that we can involve our family during the process! The weather has made a turn, but it has also provided a break for us in the area of work. Crops are doing well and are on target for harvesting, soon! This week we mainly have eggs to offer, but we also have turnips, turnip greens, and plenty of green onions. Our spinach is trying to figure out what it should do thanks to the change in weather. Soon, we should have an abundance of it again. We are starting to grow our pea shoots, and sunflower shoots again, and they are looking very tasty! If you have not tried the shoots, I temptingly invite you to give them a try! They are amazing! If you have not tried farm fresh eggs, I also encourage you to try them as well (visit our blog for delicious pics.!) A few items that we are still in need of on the farm are a 4 wheeler, walk-in cooler for more storage, and maybe an intern (very low pay, but plenty of laughs) for the soap business. This week we also had a class from the community college come out for a visit, which went very well, and provided a lot of encouragement for us as we toured the farm and explained what we are doing and what our vision is here. These are exciting days as we grow!
