Tomorrow I will be at the Carmichael Farmers' Market. Currently I've been attending every other week. I'll keep you informed when I go back to attending weekly.  If you're interested in frozen stewing chicken please e-mail me today and I'll send you a list of weights to choose from.

I am happy to announce that after submitting applications to become Certified Naturally Grown, having inspectors come out to the farm and completing all paperwork, the farm has been certified. If you want more information on this process, please visit www.naturallygrown.org. You can read the inspectors' reports.



This week you'll find:

Lots of Sweet Peppers:
Green Bell Peppers
Red Nardello Peppers

Eggs: Regular and Soy Free

Lots of Green and Yellow Beans

The chickens laying "SOY-FREE" eggs have been given certified organic feed from Modesto Milling since they arrived on the farm as "day-old chicks." It is a feed that uses sesame seed meal as the higher protein source instead of soybean meal. The chickens have just started laying, so the dozens are mixed sizes - on the small end. Pullet dozens always vary between Pee Wee, Small and Mediums.

The lambs are butchered here on the farm. Then, they are taken to Swingles. Swingles and the new owner discuss the cuts of meat that will be done. The new owner then picks the meat up at Swingles.


If interested, please contact me for further details and to put your name on the list.


Comments from last year's buyers:

 

Just wanted to let you know that we tried the lamb chops last night, and they were DELICIOUS! The best I've had, I believe.

We cooked a leg of your lamb for company last week, and it was really delicious. Very tender, with none of that strong “lamby” flavor that some folks find objectionable. Thanks for your loving care in raising such good meat.
