** FARM NEWS:
What a few hours make in the weather... newborn lambs and kids (and baby calves) need special attention during this frigid weather. Hay will need to be unrolled in long rows in the pastures so the young ones can have a dry bed to rest, especially at night. Mario is worried about his beautiful 'Sungold' tomatoes in the solar-powered greenhouse even though they are covered with row covers inside. For some reason, the tomatoes had a slow start this Fall and are just now beginning to grow and ripen. The greens in the tunnels are growing and can tolerate a little colder weather than tomatoes . Many of you asked about our 87-lb guardian puppy, "Lou", and her recent surgery. She continues to live inside the cabin during her two-week recovery period with me and her older buddies, Zack and Buddy, two wonderful Australian Shepherd herding dogs. She is so smart and sweet and enjoys her special treats (& living arrangements). Her "Uncle" George, a mature Anatolian Shepherd X guardian dog, weighs in at over 190 lbs. and is a force to be reckoned with while protecting the flock and herd. We have a total of five dogs now on the farm, all with a job to do... either herding the animals or protecting the flocks. I constantly have one or two as a companion throughout the day and evening.
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.
We hope you all have a Healthy and Happy New Year season.
Thank you for your continued support of our Century Family Farm!
