Fresh From the Farm (May 29)
Posted 5/27/2010 10:22pm by Brent and Suzie Marcum.
What a beautiful week for working outdoors! We've planted tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes and more; weeded and hilled up the half-mile of potatoes that are planted. Several varieties of herbs found a new home in the herb garden. 
Here I am tedding alfalfa hay for the grass-fed Black Angus cattle this week. We also have hay for sale, square-baled, high-quality alfalfa or round bales of grass/alfalfa hay.
In the midst of all, we found veggies ready to harvest. Fresh this week, we have spinach, asparagus, broccoli raab, lettuce, kale, joi choi, komatsuna, mizuna, garlic scapes plus various other things we find. Many long-time customers are familiar with the unfamiliar garlic scape, truly a spring delicacy. We love them roasted, or made into Garlic Scape Pesto. If you're new to garlic scapes, stop in and find out more.
We are currently taking orders for halves and split-halves of Grass-fed Black Angus beef. The price for a half is $3.75/# and $4.00/# for a split-half. The price includes all processing and is based on the actual weight of the beef you receive. A split-half generally works out to around 125 - 150# of beef. To place an order or ask a question, send us an email or stop by the farm. As usual, we will have a wide variety of cuts from our delicious beef at Oxford Farmers Market Uptown on Saturday morning. We're still in the process of getting our building finished to the point we can get our retail food permit and be able to sell beef from the farm, so it's only available at the farmers' market.
Thanks for your continued support at the market and on the farm. Hope to see you soon.
