Farm Happenings 2/14/22: New Tulip Share! / East Forty Farm Pork Package / Update from Dig Deep Farm

Posted on February 8th, 2022 by Daybreak Growers Alliance

Brighten your home with our new Tulip Share! You can sign up here to receive a 10 stem bouquet from Seek-No-Further Farmstead for $18.00 each delivery starting the week of February 21. If you'd like a bouquet for the week of February 14 add it to your box when you customize this week.

Seek-No-Further Farmstead is a small farm and homestead run by Angela Baglione and Lisa Kalan in Monroe, ME. They raise mixed vegetables year round, encourage tulips to bloom a little earlier than usual, and try to give their small herd of dairy goats the best life imaginable. Tulips are grown without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides in both heated and unheated greenhouses to bring spring into your homes during the dark, cold months of winter. They select dozens of unique varieties each year that they find exceptionally beautiful, and hope you'll love them, too!

 

NEW PRODUCT: Swan's Honey
We're excited to add Swan's Honey products to Farm Box offerings - Raw, Blueberry, Raspberry and Wildflower - all available this week!

Swan’s Honey is located in the beautiful farmland of Albion, Maine. This 250-acre farm has been in the Sennett’s family since the early 1800’s. The business has grown from several hundred hives in 2002 to several thousand hives and employs a well-equipped team of beekeepers, extractors, packagers, and more. Swan’s honeybees split their time between Maine and Georgia, pollinating blueberries, raspberries, buckwheat, orange blossoms, tupelo trees, and a variety of wildflowers.

 

Pork Package from East Forty Farm

East Forty Farm has been breeding and raising heritage breed pigs since 2016. They are committed to them having happy lives, the pigs graze in the forest eating a diverse diet which is supplemented with organic grain (barley, peas, and oats) and whey from Lakin's Gorges Cheese. The pigs are raised to market weight over a year and a half which produces a meat that is rich and flavorful.

Daybreak has a limited number of Pork Packages to offer members this week!

You'll receive 10lbs. of pork:
1 pound bacon
1 pound ground sweet sausage
3 pounds stew meat
3 pound chops (2 chops per package)
2 pound fresh hock

Price: $84.00

Look for the Pork Package when you customize your box!

Update from Dig Deep Farm

It is hard to believe it is February! It feels like there is a new pulse in the air toward the 2022 growing season.

We still have lots of storage crops and fresh greens to grow for DGA shares. Our 2 year old daughter always asks what she can do to help – she especially likes the tiny micro greens.

We are still soaking in the family time and have a fresh perspective of planning the season ahead with our winter staff, who will be around for another summer season.

I hope everyone stays in good health.

Cheers and good tidings!

From all of us at Dig Deep Farm.
