Everything New is Old Again
A few announcements then on to the farm news. Here is a picture of my thumb in front of a clutch of turkey eggs. I almost scrambled the eggs while a was cutting the grass around the field. The mother turkey scared the bejeezus out of me when she took off. I didn’t think turkeys […]
Tractor Woes
I looked back at my recent newsletters and discovered I haven’t sent one out since the last time we had weeks of rain. I guess that is what happens when you get a couple weeks of dry weather. But now we’re back in the rain zone so I’m back to writing newsletters. First, we still […]
Potato Planting Take 2
Hey folks. We are going to attempt to plant the potatoes again this Sunday (May 1st) from 2:00 until 4:00.

Guest Columnist
With the farm work ramping up I’m starting to run out of time to write these newsletters. So this week I am bringing in a replacement. I’ve relinquished the task to someone who has a way with words. So without further ado, I give you Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Thank You. You’re honored to […]
Still Waiting…
First a few announcements, then a little update from the farm, followed by a few more announcements I forgot about when I wrote the first announcements. The deadline for ordering SeafoodShare is April 15th. If you like seafood I would highly recommend this. The seafood is wild Alaskan seafood caught by small boat fishermen and women. […]
