Week of January 18th

Our chickens have taken a break for the winter time. Our egg supply has dropped drastically and we don’t have enough to fill orders. We will randomly select people weekly to receive eggs as they are available. We will be back in action as soon as the weather warms up and the days get longer. At that time we also will be fulfilling our wait list, so make sure to sign up if you want them in the near future.
Speaking of chickens, perhaps I counted them before they hatched. When we went to harvest the brussel sprouts we came up short to fill the whole CSA. So we switched over to our green cabbage. The climate for cabbage is perfect right now. The cold weather makes the cabbage extra crisp and sweet. So roast it, stir fry it or juice it and enjoy.
