Hello Friends,
I hope that your week is off to a great start. It's been a busy time here on the farm with wrapping up the growing season, and lots of watering due to the drought. We wanted to send a reminder that we will be at the Willow School Holiday Bazaar this coming Saturday with lots of great things from the farm, and we hope that you'll stop by. You can also place your order and pick it up at the event if you like. Please make a note in your order.
Also, this is our last week of the single CSA share as Farmer Mary will be heading home to Uruguay for the Winter next week. We still have three more shares available for pickup this Wednesday. I should also mention that beginning this Wednesday, our store pickup hours will be from 2:30 to 4:30, as we do not have electricity and heat at the farm store shed. It's difficult when it is dark at 5 o'clock. We can also make other arrangements for pick up at your convenience, and we also deliver within 15 miles of the farm.
Please note that starting on December 1st, we will be closing the farm store for the season, but if you live within fifteen miles of the farm we will deliver on Wednesdays, with a $35 minimum order size for an additional $10 charge (same as Whole Foods). We would be most grateful if you continue to order our baked goods through the winter months when the farm is asleep. We can also make other arrangements if you'd prefer to pick up, so please reach out if you have any questions.
Our new white Katahdin ram Moses arrived today. He is very handsome, and quite the Ladies man. We are learning so much already, and it's amazing how easily he is already fitting in with the girls. We are looking forward to having lambs here on the farm this Spring!
Lastly, we wanted to share the latest photo of all of our herbs and spices. Farmer Martha has been busy dehydrating and freeze drying all of our herbs, onions and garlic so that you can enjoy the freshness of the farm in the winter months ahead. Their quality is so much better than any spice that you can find in the grocery store.
Wishing all of you a Happy Veterans Day. We would like to share our deepest gratitude to our Veterans. Our freedom and way of life are preserved thanks to their sacrifices.
May God bless each of you. Have a peaceful evening.
Sincerely,
Michele & the Maranatha Farm Team
