An Early December Update from Emma's Family Farm

 Hello to All:
This is a message sent to our Email list here at Emma's Family Farm. If you'd like to join the list, use the link at the bottom of this post.
 
 We wanted to make you aware of a few things and also, of utmost
 importance, thank you all for being our customers and interested in
 our products. In many ways, this year has been a bit trying but we
 seem to be muscling through and finding our way with as much grace as
 possible.
 So, thank you all for your assistance.

 And, if you haven't been our customer before? Hope to meet you soon.

 We are visiting Portland on Fridays in December. We will be at 28
 Monument Square in front of The Public Market House. Times should be
 generally between 11 AM and 4 PM; please pardon any confusion and we
 hope you'll stop by. We will have whole chickens, pork chops, roasts
 and kabob or stir fry, and beef steaks and hamburger. We raise all of
 our meats on pasture without hormones. The cattle are grass fed, the
 chickens and pigs get grain.
 We will also have fresh free range eggs, while they last.

 We have all of these items available at the Farm, as well. If you'd
 like to purchase at the Farm, just give a call and make sure someone
 will be here.

 We sell our products to other retailers too! You can find some of them at
 Barrels Community Market in downtown Waterville
 Sweets and Meats in Rockland
 Farmers Fare in Rockport
 The Good Tern Co-Op in Rockland.
 Ask for products from Emma's Family Farm!

 In early January, we will be taking pigs to the processor. You can
 order a half or whole animal for your freezer, custom cut just the way
 you like it. Like your chops THICK? Want a BIG roast? Custom cutting
 allows you to get exactly what You like. To order a half or whole
 animal, give us a call or drop us an Email and ask for details.

 At present, here on the Farm, we're working hard to make a grant
 application ready for submission. We have dreams and goals, and our
 biggest one, at present, is to build a USDA poultry slaughter and
 processing facility. We worked on the project last year, investing a
 significant amount of time and Farm monies, so we will continue during
 this winter and spring. Our plans include a facility that will process
 poultry for us as well as for other farms here in the area. If you
 just happen to know someone who would be interested in investing in
 local farm and food infrastructure, please send them our way and we
 can provide details. Its a big project that is outside of the scope of
 our Farm finances so we're working for grants, loans, and investors.

 And, our final paragraph? Hoping your holiday times are working out
 well and there isn't too much stress. Eat well (but not too much)
 breathe deeply, and remember that stressed spelled backwards is
 desserts!

 Thanks for reading our Email, forward it to a friend if you like, and
 we hope to see you, and your friends, in Portland or at the Farm in
 Windsor.

 Rose, Steve and Helen Hoad
