Eggs-citing!

7/26/2009

Today was a banner day!  We found our first "new" egg from one of the new laying hens.  We should be on track for starting to sell eggs in the middle of August.  We also moved our meat chicks outside and they are now happily munching clover in the new chicken-mobile which will keep them safe from predators and move around the farm to fresh grass every few days.  These chickens will start putting on weight quickly and should be ready by mid- September.

The kids and I also had a great time shopping today -- all in Granby.  We got tomatoes, garlic and eggplant from the Garlic Farm, milk and goat cheese from Sweet Pea dairy.  A great selection of meat from Hemlock Knoll, and corn, bell pepper and cucumber from the Wilhelm Farm, and finally we picked blueberries at the pick-your-own on North Granby Road.  Delicious!  We've already been snacking and are looking forward to dinner :)

Good for you getting your chickens outdoors!! That's what all chickens should have. I'm paying your farm a visit in search for local pastured animals!
