Meat Delivery Happens July 7

Oh man, have I ever been neglecting the blog! Between the weeding, the harvesting and the delivering I been keeping busy with the CSA. And then there's the critters. 
The herd out in the pasture.
The critters have been…let’s say rambunctious lately. Larry the billy goat has perfected the art of escaping from his pasture (how do you do it Larry?! Seriously!). I’ve got him penned up separately doing some brush mowing for me (goats make for good brush cutters).
Three of the chicken ladies hatched out babies giving us a total of 14 home grown chicks. The chicks run around in a crew tempting the barn cats. The mamma hens cast murderous glances at the cats and don’t hesitate to attack them if they get too close to the brood (it’s pretty funny!).
We’ve got the July meat delivery happening on Saturday, July 7. We’re getting down there on beef but we've still got a fair amount of cuts left plus tons of hamburger (like, 300 pounds). Eggs will return to the meat deliveries in November (full share CSA members get them during the CSA season).
Let me know if you or anyone you know would like to order some beef. I think next month we will have some more goat meat for sale so look for that in August.
