Moving Towards Winter
A sure sign of the changing season…the laying hens are moving to the winter hoop house tonight. We have to wait until dark when the girls are super mellow - they find the move less stressful and we find it easier to catch them all! We call it a “chicken rodeo” and, like most big jobs on the farm, it is both hard work and a little festive, We are also working on winter root harvests: potato and carrots this week - this means running the root washer which is a super fun but soggy job All big ticket items on the list of things to do before the snow flies and things slow down. We are also getting ready to welcome our first two litters of piglets! This is a new step for us and we are super excited.
The Fall Veggies are all here Cookeville Market this week...spinach, kale, fall braising mix, brussel sprouts, cabbages, pumpkins, carrots, assorted winter squash, sweet and hot peppers, leeks, broccolini, cauliflower, garlic, apples, apple cider, potatoes, sweet potatoes and freshly dug parsnips!
We always have treats from Marilyn, local cheese, our pastured eggs, and our farm-raised meats. So many reasons to come on down to the Cookeville Market!
