Good morning, our wonderful Customers and Friends!
We missed you all last Saturday at the wonderful DFM! With over 4" of snow and frigid cold, we could not leave the farm. After repairing burst pipes and tending to the newborn animals, we had to stay close to the farm. However, this Saturday we will have lots of wonderful pastured PORK and grassfed ANGUS BEEF in stock... order your favorite cuts today. Our natural blends of spices and herbs, along with the perfect grind, make our SAUSAGES so delicious.. check out the varieties listed below. We are using the same blends my late wonderful farmer Grandmother Leonard used in her sausages in the early 1900's (after finding her recipes). We also have PORK Roasts: Boston Butt, Picnic, thick CHOPS, and more. We have thick, meaty LOIN CHOPS of Lamb or Chevon. This is Saturday's link for placing orders. Cutoff time to place an order using this link is Thursday, January 27th at 5:00 p.m..

** FARM NEWS:
With 20-degree temperatures at night, even those vegetables inside the greenhouse are not growing much. Mario has been bringing the ewes and newborns into the big barn for the past two weeks.. over 50 babies need extra care in this frigid weather. Extra feed and hay will be given to the ewes while trying to keep everyone warm. Same goes with the calves... extra feed and hay is required. The most important nutrient is WATER.. keeping the water thawed and flowing so the animals can drink.
Many of you have asked us to expand our organic fruit production... so we are scheduled to plant a half acre of organic BLUEBERRIES this winter. Once the strawberries have been harvested, we can go right into harvesting blueberries. The farm recently purchased a mulch bark spreader, to aid in the production of the acid-loving blueberry fruit crop. This is a new endeavor for the farm and we are excited about it.
Stop by the booth the next few weeks and speak with our Dear Italian Friends and Ace Helpers.. Francesco and Sofia. Both are soon scheduled to return to Italy to continue their agricultural work.
They will be terribly missed.
We will continue with offering GIFT CERTIFICATES from Meadow Lane Farm throughout the year... $25, $50, $75, or $100.. but please pre-order if you need one for a special gift.
Thank you for your continued support of our Century Family Farm!
