We hope everyone survived the rain this weekend! My goodness it was wet here on the farm. For us it was perfect timing, on Friday the tree planting crew finished planting over 5,000 trees on our farm. These trees are future ecobuffers and shelter belts to help break up wind, catch snow, and provide habitat for wildlife. Also a good bit of bee and wild pollinator forage.

 

Pick Up & Delivery

We are now doing pick up at our house in Silver Springs on Fridays, and at the parking lot of the North Hill mall on Wednesdays. Delivery going forward is optional, and comes with a $3 per week delivery charge. You can change over to a delivery option any time, and change back to pick up location any time. You should see the $3 billing on your credit card each week.

If you have any questions about home delivery, please text Marcus at 403-796-8293 or email farming@happinessbytheacre.ca

 

Renewals

For our egg share members you will see auto renewal emails coming this month, and will be billed for the Summer Egg Share that begins in July. Keep an eye out, and update your credit card information if it has changed since you signed up. We will hold your space in the program for 2 weeks into July, after which it will be opened up for our waiting list.


Duck Eggs

We find ourselves on a back log of duck eggs again. Just a reminder that you can add them as a full add on, getting them each week. Duck eggs are really wonderful, and they are excellent for making meringues, quiche, and custards. So if you are wanting to make an angel food cake or a pavlova duck eggs are an excellent choice!

You can add a half dozen per week for $5 from your member profile or our farm stand.

Also keep an eye out for some special duck egg products we have teamed up with local chefs to make, coming soon!
