CC Family Farm

It sounds too early to say Merry Christmas doesn't it? I just
love this time of year though. The leaves change, you get to 
see your breath on cold mornings, it's cool enough to wear a 
sweater, the wonderful smell (and sound) of rain, the fog 
reminds me of all the years I lived on the ocean. 
Thanksgiving is just around the corner which means we get to 
see people we don't get to see very often. Then the lights 
start going up and my favorite day comes, Christmas. 

We feel very blessed and thankful this year to be where we 
are. We gave up the life in the suburbs almost a year ago 
(December '07). And moved in here, built the chicken houses, 
bought the chicks, and now we are beginning to sell our eggs 
at Whole Foods. It has been an emotional roller coaster but 
a thrilling and rewarding ride.

We recently started selling at the new Whole Foods store in 
Roseville. That is the only place to find our eggs right now. 
We may start selling again from the farm, but probably not 
in the near future. It is exciting to see all the little 
chicks growing up and developing personalities. When we get 
them at one day old, they are completely helpless it seems. 
They "graduated" to the pasture when they were four weeks 
old. The first few days they wouldn't come out of the 
house. They just stood in the door looking out. They are 
ten weeks old now and are a treat to watch.
Have a great fall, holiday, and Christmas season.
