Maple Syrup Season Prep Begins

We have been out in the sugar bush checking lines and replace spiles.
If the weather cooperates, we are hoping to be collect sap by the end of February & making Maple Syrup for 2022!

Do you like swapping items out of your shares for some customizing fun?

This is great! We love that you're enjoying being able to makes changes, if you'd, like to your shares.
We want to remind you;
- Make sure if you delete an item that you add another in. Other wise your share may be under value depending on the prices of the cuts.
  - *Sometimes to add another item in you need to double an item you already have. Then you can 'swap' out 1 of the 2 for a different item.
- There is a cart Window the slide out from the right hand side that shows what you have in your share, if you owe extra, or if your share in undervalue.
- When swapping, you may trade a lesser value item for a higher priced item. You will in-cure a "swap charge" and will have to pay the difference.

Please Salt Your Driveways!

Tis the time of year for slipping & falling.
Please make it easier on our drivers and keep you walk ways clear & salted.
Big thanks!

We've locked in supply lines for our 2022 Summer Growing Season

With the uncertainty of many items these days, we wanted to be on top of things.
We have our seed orders booked- most remained the same price, some increases but not terrible.
We have invested in good equipment & strengthened our numbers for our livestock so we are looking at a good start (knock on wood) for the summer.

Farm Store in Zephyr open every other Saturday. (See calendar on website)

Home Delivery? Invest in a cooler for your veggies.
