On The Farm...
Gone are the warm summer nights, the tweeps of young barn swallows, and the songs of killdeer and robins. Thank goodness the monsoon-like rains are gone as well; their effects are still felt in mud laden hay fields and dulled fall colors.
The crispness in the air is refreshing, but hints of the approaching winter; thus a time of intense work. Some garden veggies were frosted as temperatures ranged from 31-37 degrees last week. Playful piglets romp in a ragged area that is beginning to look like a field; bronze turkeys are plump and white ones of July are not far behind. The lovely dairy ladies been busy with 40 births this year!
Dairy Page: We have had some exciting possibilities emerge since learning that our milk contract would not be renewed by H.P. Hood. We have created a special page dedicated to nothing but milk and dairy. Check out our special page dedicated to nothing but milk and dairy; read about current issues with Maine Organic Dairy Farmers; be introduced to MOO Milk (Maine’s Own Organic Milk Company) and discover how to get the “Raw Deal on our Real Milk”.
Check out our "Products and Ordering" page to discover the variety of tasty food that can be delivered to you this month. Stay tuned for new and exciting products and services that we will be bringing you for the remainder of 2009 and into 2010! As always, thanks for your support. After all, this important work would not be possible without you.
We are happy to be working with the Crown of Maine Cooperative to contribute to and participate in this local and organic food revolution to bring organic Maine grown food to our customers and communities.
