Hello Farm Friends,
David and Tina, along with their four little helpers: Willie, Ellie, Heidi and Laura, have embarked upon a new egg system that should prove to be advantageous to our Farm Friends. They are now weighing each egg and classifying them in the six different categories starting with Peewee and proceeding to Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Jumbo. In the past, all of our eggs have just been
randomly mixed into cartons as farm eggs. Now, with our new system, this should help when trying to bake, knowing that the eggs will be consistent to size.
David and Tina now have around 300 hens of all ages and so this is producing quite a diverse carton of eggs. As hens get older, their eggs get larger, but they also lay fewer of them. Our new policy should help the farmer and his farm friends. Omelet anyone!
With the exploding costs of now bringing down organic alfalfa hay from Pennsylvania, My Dad & Me Family Farm is having to tighten our belt in order to make
the farm numbers work. We would like to thank all of our Farm Friends for taking the time to recycle not only our egg cartons but also our jars that we sell various products in like Granola, Honey and Peppy Pepitas. It is your effort to recycle that saves us a tremendous amount of money and we appreciate the work that you do for the farm.
We are in an abundant time right now for all that would like to take advantage of it. The cows are making plenty of Extra Milk, even after feeding all of the new
calves. The hens are laying a load of Eggs and there are some delicious sweet Collards in the refrigerator today.
Chocolate Chip Brownie Mix, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Spiced Blondie
Mix, Super Dark Chocolate Granola Bars and Cashew Date Bars. Some healthy versions of our favorite treats! All are made by hand by Anna and Susan with the best organic ingredients, freshly milled Einkorn wheat, Maple Syrup, Coconut Sugar, 100% Cacao Chocolate Chips and more!
See you soon at the farm,
Daniel, Susan, & Anna David, Tina, Willie, Ellie, Heidi and Laura |
