Chickens ordered for 2011 season
I have just finished ordering chickens for the 2011 season. The first day olds should arrive on 25 February 2011, and will continue to arrive weekly until 17 August 2011.
This schedule will allow for me to process chicken from the first week of May until the middle of November. I have chosen these dates, because I know that I don't what to be processing chickens during the winter.
Chickens sell out fast at the market, because a truly fresh chicken is hard to find. Now might be the time to consider joining the fresh chicken CSA for 2011.
The grazing season is widing down and we have started feeding hay for the winter. This summer's drought was hard on the pastures making the early feeding of hay necessary.
Finally for this post come to the farm before Christmas and see several animals of the Navitiy. At the farm you will be able to see sheep, burros (donkeys) and oxen. Chip and Dale might even put on a Santa's hat and Swiss Cow bells for a quick postcard picture
