Week of May 20th

Excuse the lack of blogging while I take this month to move. We are up to about 200 chickens now that require constant attention which has left me slacking on the social media. We look forward to providing eggs to all of our CSA customers that want them and local restraunts as well. The more people we can reach to use local produce, the better.
Cindy Dollar is cooking up some Coconut Seed OR Pumpkin Pecan granola this week. Check out her ridiculously good cookies too. Peanut butter chocolate oatmeal or cran-chocolate almond cookies. Seriously good stuff. Get enough to share 🙂

Salt and pepper to taste

1 1/2 cups basil leaves, minced
