GROWER & MARKET NOTES

Greetings from central Florida where your Market manager is in day 12 of “Operation Evacuate Frankie”. I arrived on Ms. Frankie’s due date and as of this writing she has resisted every natural effort to encourage her arrival. She’s going to be one interesting Irish lassie!

Baby watch aside, the change of scenery and catching up with family has been refreshing and I’m eager to incorporate new ideas, new recipes and new flavors into our routine at home. Plus it’s been fun seeing how these city kids are honoring their farm roots. Every week they get a box of organic bounty from a regional farm and cook pretty much everything from scratch. Last night we compared notes on cream of squash soup recipes and today’s yummy lunch was chickpea curry.

VIP, Please save the date for Saturday Oct. 1 as we are in the planning stages of a Saturday Tent Market to get the fall season off to a good start.

MOUNT MORIAH FARMS: Life here on the farm has changed for sure since the arrival of our precious baby! We have finally settled into a nice routine and are starting to get a little extra time to catch up on things. Thank you to everyone who has continued to purchase from us! We have added a few more goats to the herd and as of last week all of the does have hopefully been bred. Lord willing come early 2023 we will have lots of tiny ones jumping around the pasture.

I’m proud to say the day I went into labor I was out there still milking my girls. I would say chores are a lot easier now since I don’t have to worry about weight restrictions or my bump getting in the way. I do have my little one with me during chore time (most days) and have learned how to take care of him and the farm at the same time! I love this new chapter and am so thankful for y’all’s continued support! 

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
