Sugar Dirt Farm

The farm is alive. The pasture is green and growing fast. The bugs are starting to come out of their long winters nap just in time for our laying hen to chase them around. With all the bugs and grass that these ladies consume makes their eggs great tasting and a lot heathlier then those white spheres that a person gets from the store. Our eggs are in such a demand that we had to increase the size of our flock.  In Fact we had to double the size of our flock.   We are going to have Delaware chickens and Araucanas which are call the Easter egg chicken for the bluish green that they produce. Our diner chickens will be pasture this week with the next batch of chicks coming in the first part of May. It is our goal to have a batch ready to be processed the first part of each month from June to October. We believe we have the best tasting, the healthiest diner chickens in the world. Of course we are partial to our own chickens but we have had more then a few customers agree with us. If you are interested in trying the best tasting chicken in the world lets know.

It is still early for the garden but it is just a matter of time. All our potatoes and onions are in the ground. The first batch of spinach, chard and greens have been planted. We have planted some sugar snap peas this year and we are looking forward to some of these great tasting peas. We have 4 different types of beets sown, Red, golden, white and bull eye. We have even taken a chance and put some sweet corn in the ground, we know it was a little early but if it comes up we will have some early sweet corn to eat and sell. Until next time remember to eat and by locally.
