Its certainly been a strange autumn and very early winter. This particular storm is lying off the coast and has produced weather for three full days now including wind, snow, rain and now snow again. Temperatures have been between 18 and 37 here and they say we'll continue to have weather from the storm until Thursday afternoon.
But anyway ...
| Hi and Merry Christmas from Us All! You are really apreciated here and, we want to thank you for comments and responses to our Farm's growing methods and products. And to those who have forwarded information about Us? Special thanks. We just took our angus rib roast out of the freezer to prepare for Christmas dinner. On Christmas Eve, the treat of tradition around here is Helen's turkey pie. We'll eat well during the holidays and hope you do too! Watch those portions though :) Just a word this week about roasts. Angus cattle have only one big rib roast so there's none of that available but: a few comments lately have mentioned the smell of something roasting in the house, and how the homey and mouth watering smells of a roast fill a winter afternoon with anticipation of a great meal. We have pork, beef and chickens to roast and many are sized for smaller families of 3 or 4. Of course, chops, steaks and hamburger is still available too! While we've been in Monument Square, some folks have ordered things in advance. That way, they get what they want before someone else buys it. We pack it specially and hold it aside. Would you or a friend like to buy pork for your freezer? We will be processing pigs on January 3. They will be available as whole or half animals, cut to your specific instructions. Cutting, vacuum packaging, freezing and smoking are included for $3.10 per pound. Each animal carries a processing fee of $40, so half would be $20. You can call or stop by 28 Monument Square on Friday to discuss, and if you have a friend who may want to purchase, let them know too. This is the same quality pork, raised on pasture that we have available in cuts at our Farm and Stand. Angus beef, pork, chickens, eggs and garlic will be in Monument Square Friday, Christmas Eve. We'll be there, with our stand and Santa hats from 11 to 4; right in front of the Public Market House, 28 Monument Square. If you'd like to order now call 207-445-2141. Of course, someone will usually be at the Farm, but leave a message if noone answers, we may be outside. We'll wrap up the year in Monument Square too, and hopefully, we'll have a newsletter for you by then. In January, we'll take at least the first week off, we're working on our application for a grant to go toward a poultry processing operation for us, and for other farmers in our area. Its a mission we believe in and so we pursue it with vigor. Thanks for all of your support of our Farm and family.
