Fresh From the Farm (June 4)
Posted 6/3/2011 3:00pm by Brent and Suzie Marcum.
Crazy busy this week, so just a short note. We'll have our customary greens, including komatsuna at Oxford Farmers Market Uptown in the morning. Also look for carrots, fennel, radicchio and in very short supply - zucchini! The high tunnel is producing a few right now.
Here's where you can find this week's CSA Newsletter and find out more about what we've been up to this week.
And, for the pictures of the week -- I was given the "priviledge" of cutting the hay in the pasture this go round. I think its beautiful and enjoyed riding the tractor; I think my oldest son, who normally cuts the hay, must have been desperate for help.
Between alfalfa and grass hay, we'll have put up nearly 200 round bales this week.
I was also given the priviledge of running the baler and baling some of the alfalfa.
Yes, it's as much work as it sounds like, but we are picky about what the Grass-fed Black Angus cattle eat and we refuse to feed them anything containing GMOs, herbicides or pesticides.
Thanks for your support.
