I just checked progress on our potatoes and things are looking great so this week we are offering potatoes. In an effort to reduce our use of plastic on the farm we will set these these potatoes out in bulk bins. We will provide a container for you to use to measure out your portion, and then you can choose to put them into your own bag or use one of the bags provided if you do not have your own. I'm hoping that you will embrace this change as a way to support us in our efforts to produce less waste.
Many of you have heard of Prairie Gold Pastured Meats. Prairie Gold is run by my brother-in-law Blake Hall and my sister Ang. These two have been producing outstanding grass-fed beef for about 10 years and I really believe in their project and their management principles. Much like the chicken that many of you have tried from Sven Stave at Field to Fork their beef is on another level compared to the beef that you can buy at the grocery store. Blake and Ang manage their cattle herd according to holistic management grazing principles which not only ensure a fresh buffet of pasture for the cattle each day but also sequesters atmospheric carbon in the soil at an amazing rate. Many of you are already customers of Prairie Gold so you know what I'm talking about. This week I'm adding some of their products to my extras list so that if you need a top of beef you can get it at your pick up. Check out the extras page for more info.
Finally, don't forget that tomorrow (Monday the 5th) I'm hosting a farm tour at 10 am. If you don't have plans I would love for you to come out and bring your family or friends. Click here for details.
See you soon!
Mike
