Fam Update 4/10/11

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we are having this weekend! The rain/sunshine combo has been very enjoyable here on the farm and apparently the plants love it as well! It is very rewarding to see all of the crops we have worked so hard for start growing, and soon our bellies will agree! This week we will have a few new items to offer; pea shoots and sunflower shoots. Our lettuce is very close, and the onions are still growing strong. Hopefully everyone has received our email about the screening of "FRESH the Movie" that will take place at Talias in N. Wilkesboro on the 16th of April at 1 pm. If not, there you go! This will be an informal, but very informative meeting that will address our current food issues and what others/we can do about it. The showing will be free, however feel free to make a donation towards the cost of the license. Bring your friends, grab a coffee, maybe even a pastry, and enjoy the show this Saturday!

This weeks pick-up will take place at Talias Espresso on Tuesday from 4:45-5pm. We will not have a Saturday delivery in Boone, however feel free to make an order and pick it up here in Wilkes on Saturday at the screening!

Eggs - $3.00/dz, $4.00/18 ct, $5.00/2 dz.

Pea Shoots - $3.00/bag

Sunflower Shoots - $3.00/bag

Green Onions - $3.00/bunch

If you would like to reserve a chicken from our first batch, please let me know. The whole birds will be 4-6 lbs @ $4/lb (we had to adjust the price to help offset the double cost of the organic feed!), and the boneless breast/tender packages will be $10/lb and the legs/wings/thighs package will be $4.50/lb. All of these prices are very comparable to any bird raised this way. The bonus with Harmony Acres birds, is that our birds are fed certified organic feed, from a local (greensboro) mill which guarantees the use of non-GMO grains! We are still trying to get a feel for how many of you are interested in thanksgiving turkeys, so please let us know soon so that we can make our order in May. Thank you! -Dale and Cory and family...
