Clayton Farmers' Market and Small Farm Animals

First week of March, 2013 - farm fields still covered with snow/ice - our low temperature was 19o this morning with an afternoon high of about 35o.

 The robins, red winged blackbirds are back.  Yesterday a beautiful Great Heron came to visit the Beaver Creek that runs through the property.  Even our Bald Eagles are happy that Spring will soon be here.

Finches, quail, magpies and chickadees are fat and happy that hubby keeps the bird feeders filled.

Just 12 weeks and our 2013 Clayton Farmers Market and Small Farm Animals open for this productive garden/craft/farm baby animals season.   
Many of our local farmers have already 'started' vegetable/flower seeds to germinate ... getting ready for garden planting in May/June.  We live in a USDA growing zone 4 - we have about 90 growing days.  This past year of 2012 however, a frost came every month which made for a very tough mature/harvest time.
