Hi Everyone,
My daughter asked on Saturday if May showers bring April flowers? I pointed out the lovely flowers that the April showers did bring (yay for flowers!) and also that I hoped that these May showers would bring us lots of fruits and vegetables in June and July! Its hard to be positive in cold and rainy unseasonal May weather.
Eggs are coming today!
You might still have a chance to get some if you let us know at http://tinyurl.com/mayeggs.
Traditional Foods' eggs are nutrient dense Omega Plus eggs. Five Star Seeds from Chesley, ON supply our chicken feed. The feed comes from home grown crops, and from pre-mixes from Bio-Ag of Wellesley ON. See www.bio-ag.com. Our chickens are fed GMO Free crops, and some organic feed, with kelp and flax seed as part of their ration. Our chickens are free-run, indoors. Besides GMO free, their feed is also hormone, drug, and animal by-product free.
Asparagus time!
We stopped by Martin's Family Fruit Farm on Saturday (in the rain) to pick up the last of their Honey Crisp apples (they had a limited amount after finding a bin in the cooler!!!). While we were there, Andrew picked up some local asparagus and fiddleheads (Mmmm... delish!). If you're looking for asparagus and don't have it in your own garden, definitely find some before the 27th when you pick up your first order (we'll have lots then!) Go to Martin's or Barrie's Asparagus Farm or Seven Shores (right in town) to get local asparagus. You may pay a bit more than you would at the grocery store, but Tim Barrie's asparagus has all green stems, so you don't have to cut off the white from the bottom... the price might be more comparable if you take that into account!
Only order for ONE week!
I started my order this month and had to stop what I was doing quite quickly. Over the winter I've gotten used to ordering 4 tubs of yogurt and 7 pints of grape tomatoes to last our family a whole month, but now that we're going back to weekly pickups I need to change that mindset. If you made the same mistake that I did, please double check your order amounts! The yogurt will last, and we do love big orders, but why fill up your fridge when you can pick up more fresh food on June 3rd?
