We have about 30 chickens left to sell. They were processed today, so with the WSDA’s 48-hour pickup requirement, we can make them available for pickup on the farm at the Day Road Farmstand on Monday during the day. Six dollars per pound. They will be a mix of sizes, some small fryers and [...] They are super happy on pasture, preferring that to the storebought organic grain — though more than that they like to eat the treats we bring them, which, since it’s canning/jamming/preserving season, includes a lot of tomato tops, bruised bits of peaches and too-squishy berries, wilted celery leaves, carrot and squash tops and ends, [...] We’re now taking orders for our last batch of chickens for 2011, which will be ready to pick up on September 25. As usual, the details are described on our Ordering Poultry page, and you can order here: http://tinyurl.com/chickens2011-2 Please let us know if you have any questions, and order soon! Turkey ordering [...] I know it’s an ad, but it’s pretty great. Watch for the owl — the owl is the star. Also I’m jealous of her wax coat. This spring, one of our Australorp hens went broody. Oh, actually, two of our Australorps and one of our Gold-laced Wyandottes went broody. This is when they stop laying, and start trying to hatch some eggs. Their little tiny chickeny biological clocks went off, basically. Doesn’t matter that there are no eggs under them. [...] Ruby says "HOW MUCH garlic do you have to peel tonight?", originally uploaded by laurenipsum. Half of a gallon crock, that’s how much. I harvested the hardneck garlic, and there were a lot of heads that were too small, or that I accidentally stabbed, or that otherwise seemed like they wouldn’t [...] We’ve been quiet for a while because we’ve been busy (as usual, I know) with lots of things. Many of our blog readers have probably met Garth’s good old dog Oscar, who trotted around happily and healthily until he suddenly didn’t, and couldn’t, because he’d stopped eating. After several visits to the vet, [...] Lunch feast!, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. We went to the Chimacum Farmers’ Market and we made a delicious feast! French Breakfast radishes and carrots from Red Dog Farm. Tomato and apple from the farm whose name I can’t remember. Iced breves from the coffee truck. Croissants from Pane d’Amore. Golden Glen cheddar [...] I have all these tabs open so I don’t lose track of the recipes, but my browser is starting to drag … so that I can close them, here is what we have been making, in no particular order: Portuguese-ish clams and sausage, except I basically barely followed the recipe. I used soft, [...] Pretty platonic radishes are pretty, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. Look! I made exemplary radishes! A late, but bountiful year in our strawberry patch, originally uploaded by laurenipsum. This is one of maybe 30 strawberry plants in the patch. And there are a couple other clusters like this on this plant. When I was growing up we would always have strawberry cake for my sister’s birthday, [...] I grabbed this little flyer the other day at the market, and repost with Betsey’s permission: Volunteers needed June 11 & 12!
