         ** FARM NEWS: 

Sometimes I ask myself, "Why am I continuing to operate the family farm?"... especially this past Sunday evening about dusk with the rain moving in.  I was deep in the woods (one of the pastures w/ woods) and had crossed a creek and ravine on foot.

One of the farm's prized Black Angus bull's (on his side of the fence) had decided he wanted to fight the nicer Black Bull on my side of the fence.   So they got into a huge fight.. destroying several 50' sections of barbed wire fencing along the creek.  Farm Manager Mario, yes, "Super Mario", and I got the "Bad" bull separated from the "Nice" bull ... each back where they belonged with their group of cows.  Luckily, the 2,500 lb. "Bad" bull did not injure anything or anyone. 

About dark with limited cell service or light while attempting to repair the fence line, we heard "Mr. Bad" coming towards us through the woods.. wanting to come back for more fighting. That is when I looked him in the eyes and spoke as plain as I could in my southern slang "cow" language ... "you better get out of these woods, stop fighting, and get back to your group of cows xxx." He turned around and never looked back!   Never a dull moment on this farm!  Thank goodness for Mario! 

The photo was taken on Monday this week... the greens are coming along nicely in the solar-powered high tunnel.  The December DEEP Freeze really set the vegetables back... Brussel sprouts are coming outside in the field... limited this week.

PECANS... we have about 2 more weeks of supply to sell... already bagged in 1 lb. freezer bags for you to drop in the freezer. They should keep for about a year in the freezer.. buy yours today before they are sold out. 

Our farm's Black Angus cattle have recently been 'Certified Global Animal Partner' (GAP Stage #4) and Animal Welfare Certified... with a national certification which included intensive inspections and audits.   Our vegetables are USDA Certified Organic... a piece of mind for both our meat and vegetable customers. 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. THANK YOU for your continued support of our Century-old, woman owned and operated Family Farm!

Hello from Lil' Farm. At market this week we will have kale, collards, chard, scallions, napa cabbage, salanova lettuce, red mustard and more.

And...

It’s time to sign up for our 2023 CSA! Join us for a fresh, colorful, nutritious future bounty.

What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a farming model based on developing a direct relationship between farmers and their community. A weekly box of lovely seasonal veggies ( and strawberries!) is the glorious result. This is an opportunity to support a farmer by purchasing in advance the most seasonal and successful crops available while acknowledging that some crops will not always work out with the endless variables at play. The good news is, we grow so many different things you may never notice our secret failings.

The CSA will run April 12th through July 26th (16 weeks). Like last year, we are offering a Home Delivery option and 2 pick up sites in Durham (West Durham and South Durham). Go to our website to see pricing and learn more- www.lilfarm.com. We would love to have you! Please share the info with anyone who would be interested.

Thank you and take care,

Lily and George
