Week 6
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Early “Nantes” Carrots, “White or
Purple Vienna” Kholrabi, Strawberries, “Ella Kropf” Head Lettuce, “Bunte
Forellenschuss” Head Lettuce, Mesclun Mix with Nasturtiums, Red Russian Kale
and Rosemary.
Hello Everyone,
This week has a first for our farm
shares, Strawberries! Fruit is new item in our bag and we hope it will continue
for a couple more weeks. Fingers crossed with the weather.
We also have our first carrots of the
season and kohlrabi. If kohlrabi is new to you, our favorite use is to peel it
and slice it up. It can either be eaten sautéed or raw. Also it can be used as
a slaw with the carrots.
Mesclun mix is also a welcome
addition with a few peppery nasturtium flowers decorating.
It’s been quite the week here on the
farm. There have been numerous bouts of bad news landing on us, with family and
friends incurring multiple serious health problems. We have barely been able to
get into the field. One of the major ones was Navarre experiencing a very bad
fall leaving him with a major concussion and fractured wrist. He is now stable
and out of the woods but we have to travel to the IWK in Halifax for certain
days so I must change our delivery date from Friday to Thursday. Please let me
know if this doesn’t work for you and we will make other arrangements for your
delivery. We appreciate your understanding.
Meat birds will be available on July
18. We have 14 left for sale so please get your order in ASAP! They are
$4.50/lb and most are usually in the range of 6-8lbs each.
I hope all of you have a wonderful
week!
Your Farmer,
Amber
