Grumpy Goat:  English Muffins, green beans, snap peas, mmmmmmm


Hey everyone,
We’re back! It was so nice to take a few days away from the farm. NH was beautiful this time of year and it was nice to be surrounded by so much family even if it was a somber occasion.

I am taking off with some goats – heading to Iowa in the morning but Matt will be racing around in the heat tomorrow setting up the farm store and harvesting everything for the Sidney Farmers Market. Have some patience with him as he might not be able to restock as speedily as I do( that was a joke – I know I am also slow!!!)

Anyways, onto the important stuff. It’s English Muffin week coming up! Debbie Walker from Walker Cabin Farm will be baking these fresh for our Tuesday pick up. If you want to place an order you can go to the Walker Cabin Farm Facebook page and message Debbie your order. If you for some reason can’t figure it out just let me know what you want and I can order for you. Please get your orders in by 7pm Sunday night.

I will also be opening up our ordering form so if you want any additional bread for Tuesday the option is there! Just don’t order for Friday or Saturday pick up because I won’t be here to bake!

And what you’re all dying to know – veggies this week: beets, turnips, radishes, green beans, snap peas, kohlrabi, a little kale and chard, basil, sorrel, dill, bunch onions, mint….

And, get your raspberries while you can! This may be their only week!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Connie's Cornucopia:  New Lemon & Chive Butter Seasonal


Delicious fresh chives, lemon zest, and cold pressed lemon oil are mixed into our cultured, small-batch churned butter, creating an exceptional flavor and texture that’s perfect for summer.

Because we use the freshest cream and we culture and batch churn in a process that takes up to 20 times longer than mass-production methods, our unsalted butter stands alone with superior flavor and creaminess.

You can freeze your butter for up to 12 months. Once you’ve put it in the refrigerator, you should eat it within 6 weeks. Not sure you can eat it all that quickly? Try putting half in the freezer, and the other half in the refrigerator.

We also have Butter in Log form in Sea Salt and Unsalted.

Thanks
Connie

Thank you!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Foothills Market:  Market Reminder


There’s still about an hour and a half to place your order for fresh local foods on Foothills Market.

Remember that we are moving the pickup spot to the lobby of the Prestonrose Mercantile on Main Street. With the forecast temperatures, I think we will all be happy with the move!

Frontier Farms:  SORRY FOR THE LATE OPENING!


Sherri had day surgery today and I have been shuttling her around and making sure she is comfortable.

See everyone Saturday.

Connie's Cornucopia:  Buttermilk In Stock


We now have Buttermilk in stock From Banner Butter. It comes in 8 and 32 oz bottle.

Our buttermilk, or cultured butter whey, is the real deal. Many years ago, when industrial-scale companies took over butter-making, they didn’t “have time” to culture the cream before churning it into butter. So, they simply soured milk and called it buttermilk. But ours is the buttermilk you get when you churn real, true cultured butter. It’s butter’s milk!

Thanks
Connie

Martin's Farmstand:  U-pick Strawberries Today


We will open the strawberry patch today (June 19,2024) starting at 2 pm. This week is the peak of strawberry season- There is a large amount of ripe berries to pick today. There are also still a fairly large amount of green and partially ripe berries in the field. We will be picking berries for another 10 days or so however both the size and volume of berries drops off fast towards the end.
The weather forecast is for the weather to be hot this afternoon however it is supposed to also be cloudy and windy which will make it more bearable. I see some chance that the patch will not get picked quickly today as there are a lot of berries. We plan to be open this evening till dark if there are still ripe berries to pick. We will post an update late afternoon to update you if there are still berries to pick this evening.The patch closes when all the berries are picked. Daniel
