Well a lot has been going here on the farm the last 2 weeks. I have been not been blogging, sorry!
The parents went out of town for a week on business so Jennifer and I were in charge of getting things in order around the farm. It all went very well, markets were great and we even added a new market into our mix of things. We went down to Seattle and went to a wholesale market that is for restaurants and big companies, were we offered our hot dogs and pepperoni at, as well as our bulk hamburger. It went very well and we made a lot of good contact with people there.
Its a ever moving process here on the farm trying to get products to move in a forward motion and to have the sales to keep us going. We went and picked up pork the other day so we have a bunch of pork available now as well. Now is a good time to start putting money away to buy a beef or pork in large quantity for the winter. Comes in handy when you can just walk to the freezer and pick it up and not have to go the store.
We finally got our haying done took us awhile because of the weather, which was nice all weekend and now is raining today. What a bummer!
The animals are all growing, the calves are getting very big and the chickens and turkeys are growing very fast! Everything around here is going smoothly and we are picking up on are sales.
Just a reminder we are at 3 markets a week, please come and visit us at them!
