Farm Happenings for November 2, 2021

Posted on October 29th, 2021 by John Zilnicki

Happy Halloween!  Yup, October is coming to an end and November is here!  We battled through out break downs and almost finished digging potatoes before the big 5 inch rain we got this week.  We got out in the field today and made a push to finish but we got stuck a few times and ran out of daylight.  We only have about 2 acres to go so id say we are on the home stretch.

 I will be sending out an email Saturday or Sunday regarding Turkeys.  These are pasture raised heritage breed turkeys from a small family farm in New Jersey.  The cost will be $6 per pound and the sizes will be on a sliding scale from 10-12, 12-14, 14-16, 16-18, 18-20.  I have to place the order by next weekend the latest.  We are excited for this partnership as we get to support a fellow small farmer, know who raised the birds, food security, and enjoy the real taste of a turkey, so stay tuned for more info!

I hope you have a great weekend and a safe Halloween if you are taking kids trick or treating.  We will be handing out jumbo potatoes to our trick or treaters (disclaimer.. we've had 3 trick or treaters in 20 years!)

Your farmer, 

John
