My dear Community,
A few of my chickens have been escaping their paddock to lay eggs around the farm. I keep forgetting to build their fence higher to prevent this. I’m off to Tractor Supply now to buy some fencing! Over the weekend we hatched 8 more chickens which brings us to a grand total of about 250 and 58 of those are running free around my house. In short, we are fully stocked with eggs. You can add a dozen onto your weekly (or bi-weekly) subscription. Email me with any questions. Also a few baby sheep were born over the weekend. Check our IG page @somethinggoodorganics later today for the cuteness. I’m continuously thankful for the broad array of life on this farm. Quite often I bite into a head of lettuce or pick something from the ground and a bug of some sort crawls out. I know most people are creeped out when their brussels sprouts have aphids, but I’m ever so thankful for all bugs in my box. We try our best to keep them out but know these bugs are a healthy sign of life. I want to know that the food I eat comes from soil that promotes biodiversity because that translates to diversity of the very important bacteria in my gut.
In case you missed this: our CSA prices have officially been increased to offset our costs on the backend. The CSA pricing is as follows: Basics $21, Regular $30, Large $41. I truly care and appreciate each and every one of you and the support that comes along with subscribing to this program. We want you to be happy and excited each and every time you open your box. If at any time you feel like something might be off – please make sure to reach out so we can make it right. I am able to offer the old pricing if you subscribe to our 26 or 52 week program. You have until May 15th to take advantage of this offer and the old pricing will remain for the duration of the subscription, then will increase.
Be good to each other.
