Just a few bits of house keeping to cover: First; Our reserve of frozen Roasting chickens is exhausted until mid August, when we will process our next flock. If you like, send me a e-mail to reserve yours. Also, we have available $50 frozen beef packages, 1/2 of wichi is made up of ground beef, the other half split between roasts & steaks. The cost is about $3.35/lb. Please let me know if & when you would want this. There is also a nice number of Hogs ready for slaughter, which can be purchased whole or half. An average half weights approx. 80lbs, cost $2.85/lb.

I would also remind folks about Wednesday evening volunteering; this is really helping ease the work load for our volunteers packing your shares on Thursday. Again I want to thank all of you who help out at the farm. Yes; it helps get the work done, but also it’s great to have some camaraderie.

We have begun mulching hay around the tomatoes and other full season vegetables; this helps retain moisture & reduces weeds. We’re crossing our fingers so far about tomato blight, there has been reports but not in the close vicinity. We are beginning to see tomato & pepper blossoms, & that’s always exciting.

Also this week I submit out USDA certification renewal; all 18 pages, this is a yearly process & I’ll be anticipating an inspection soon after they cash their rather hefty certification processing check.

I also did want to apologies for not responding to certain emails, if the subject merits & many have the same question, I’ll usually answer though this newsletter instead of responding to multiple emails. This time of year, my office hours are brief and usually at 11:30pm.
