Farm News for June 24, 2021

Posted on June 21st, 2021 by Teresa Kurtak

They're getting soo big!  Above is a quick updated photo of Teddy and Shadow, our newest additions to the chicken management team.  They are now about 6 months old and already much larger than 7 year old Border Collie's Banks and Nellie.. In the far right corner is old man Henri, now over 10 years old. Hard to believe they've only been here a few months, they already seem so grown up.

Product Updates: Potatoes are now sized up enough.. but the skins are too delicate to harvest with our potato harvester.  So we will cut off watering this week and begin to wait for them to "cure".  Basically till the skins toughen up and they can be washed and handled without bruising and damage.  We will continue to offer full flats of berries this week, but if you intend to jam or freeze, don't hold off too long as our peak production usually only lasts 4-6 weeks, then volumes will drop to a point where we will stop being able to offer whole flats.
