Well I goofed up!  Apparently, I set eggs in the incubator at the wrong time last month and hatched out babies that were just a little too late for the 3rd Sunday in May and much to early for the 3rd Sunday in June!

Looks like I'm gonna be hosting an impromptu market on Sunday, May 31st!
Please continue to wear your facemasks and maintain social distance... ya'll have been so very good at that for all my markets! Thank you for being so considerate! Plus, I love seeing all the creative, hand-crafted masks out there, what a great way to be unique :)

We have a nice selection of baby ducks and oh so many white Indian Runners! But they really are the sweetest babies in the bunch... such little loves who enjoy snuggles the most. 

We also have a small selection of baby chickens.  Most notably, we have 3 Fabulous Frizzles available.  All of them are large fowl, they hatched from colored eggs, and the black one has feathered legs which will be super fun when fully grown!
Here's a fun video I took today... all their cuteness!
What’s available this Sunday (May 31):

Crazy May!

What a busy month this has been... I turned around twice and it was mid-May! And our weather feels like early April.  My humblest apologies for getting this newsletter out so late.... I had a few balls in the air lately.

So, in the interest of saving us all time, I will cut to the chase: our monthly market is on for the 3rd Sunday (May 17) 8am-2pm but will be super tiny since we're still practicing social distancing and wearing our facemasks.
Our May farm market will be super small and we'll be hosting an equally small number of hyper local vendors, most within a stones throw from us,  direct from our own neighborhood:

Longview Farm will be here with their humanely raised heirloom pork products.  I believe Pennelope even has her amazing artisan salami available now!

Mina of EWBA Arts will be here with her Good Vibes artwork and hand screened T-shirts.  She might also make some of her amazing stew that's been flying all over our neighborhood lately!

Glory Fields will be joining us to rejoice in the positive stewardship of the land with a few varieties of kale, some salad mix, and plenty of cilantro.  I can't wait til the flowers are ready!

Rootbound Farms will be here with their small & sustainable fresh greens, tomato & cucumber starts, and all-natural soaps.  If you ask Woody nicely you might even see some hand crafted kimchi ;)

Moose Manor Farms will have the following for reservation: Any item you reserve and do not pick up by 2pm will be made available for sale to folks at the market:
