Putting By For Winter
This is the final month of the Foothills Farmers' Market in Shelby. That's right; only four more Saturdays and then your weekly market will be gone until the spring. You may remember the fable of the lazy grasshopper who fiddled all summer long and, when winter came, she had no food. Her friends had none to spare for her and she died of cold and hunger. We at Greene Family Farm will have plenty to spare and we will not let you starve, but we suggest that you not be lazy. Get your orders in soon; the best of our stock will not last long.
We are processing our last hogs for the year this month, 2 of which will leave home this weekend to come back in packages next week. Contact us quickly if you are interested in a whole or half hog for the winter; we can have the meat packaged to suit your needs and preferences. If a half or whole pig is too much for you, we are happy to fill a smaller bulk order of anything you need. Get it while the getting is good and fill your freezer.
Our last chicken processing for the year will take place over Thanksgiving. If you are in the habit of buying our chicken, you know it goes fast. We are taking orders now.
The fresh ginger will only last until frost. Stock up at the market this week and ask us about the ways you can preserve it yourself.
We are low on eggs just now because we recently retired our old flock and the new chickens are only just beginning to lay, but they will be in full production soon and we should have plenty of eggs for all during the winter.
Feel free to contact us and come to our farm for whatever you need after the market closes. We are digging in for the season ourselves and building up a supply to keep any grasshoppers well fed through the lean months. That said, keep your ears open for news of the winter market. The location and dates have not yet been determined, but there will be a few weekends through the winter when the market will be open. We will let you know as soon as we know, so you can mark your calendars.
