March 2023 CSA Newsletter

Tis the season of lambs. Heavy ewes trundle about through snow, wider than ever. Then, one by one, they give up their young to the frosty exterior with its crisp air and inhospitable snow. It truly amazes me that in minutes, these little wet lambs will be up on their legs, sniffing for warm milk between the legs of their mother while she gently urges them to nurse.

Lambing Season

Lots of projects are beginning, one of which is to move our very first walk-in freezer out of the ‘woodshed’ attached to our home and up to the chicken processing barn.

Our First Walk-in being installed, 10 years ago. Cole was so young!

The other project is REALLY exciting to me. For years ( decades?!) we have been working on all things ranch related, and our old farmhouse has kept us warm & dry. The kitchen, workhorse that it is, is getting its guts rearranged, some new shelves, new (old) sink put in, some paint on the walls, and…. a table. It isn’t a huge space and has had about 6 doors coming into it. The rearranging will allow less doors, more counter-top space to work, and a small table that our family can sit and eat our meals. I’m so excited!

Sap Season begins soon! Let us know if you would ever like any syrup or honey added to your share.

Every month your invoice will come out on the 21st and this newsletter will be posted on our blog.  I will also email you the link so you don’t miss anything. If the first shipping date doesn’t work for you, just let us know and we can ship later. Here is the upcoming schedule!
