First we have to thank all our wonderful Farmers Market customers; your support has kept our fires stoked all season, and your kind words make the long weeks worth all the work. And also thanks to the staff at EarthFare in SouthPark, Ballantyne, and Rock Hill; you guys are the best, and your orders and encouragement have also kept us going. And kind thanks also to Kathleen Purvis, and Marty Minchin at the Charlotte Observer for their sweet stories on our adventure. And, last but not least, thanks to the chefs here in Charlotte for their support, encouragement, honest opinions, and of course orders! We love you guys (you know who you are).....And thanks to Grateful Growers for showing up an hauling away our whey! What a wonderful circle to be part of, one and all.
Now, on to a few updates; Mike, from Rock Hill asked for a few pics of Jack and Meg, our trusty barn monitors, and all around bundles of energy. They are just 1 year old now, and slightly (OK, a lot) larger. Meg, who just visited the vet, clocked in at 70lbs. These two were the runts of the litter, and I'm glad for that.
Jack is the quiet one (until he barks.)
Still just kids, they love to rough house inthe pasture.
And dear sweet Meg keeps us all on our toes.
Next is TRUFFLES! We are experimenting with bittersweet chocolate, goat cheese and coco powder...ooh la la. Soon we'll have them available at the markets!
That's all for now, but now that the really busy season is behind us, we'll post again soon.
