MISC MARKET NOTES

Batten Down the Hatches!

It seems like this nasty storm approaching us is the only thing on people’s mind’s today. Our granddaughter in North Carolina called worried about GranGran and Gammi and all the animals. She asked pretty much the same thing an inspector asked us last year about emergency preparedness!

An uncle texted and is concerned about 2000 baby plants in his greenhouse being damaged by hail. A farm client postponed their trip so they didn’t have to deal with it on the road. And I remember an ex military co-worker from many years ago breaking security clearance wondering out loud if the weather experiments he participated in were responsible for some of the crazy stuff we were seeing at that time.

Even today the conspiracy theories about those and other experiments and now chem-trails can make your head spin trying to understand what’s gong on with crazy weather like this.

So what’s the point here? It’s fair to say PREPARE!. Make sure outdoor things are secured. Have a plan just in case. Do you have gas, food, matches, a battery radio? When you’ve done all you can there’s no point in fretting. Beyond that I think the following image pretty much says what needs to be embraced.

MT MORIAH FARMS: Spring is definitely a favorite season around here. The smell of the clover and all the babies floods me with joy. I love the longer lighted evenings, it really helps get more outside work done. With all of that extra work getting done, that means dirtier hands! No worries around here since we have plenty of soap to wash it all away. Did you know that your skin is your largest organ? What you use to wash your hands with, does matter!  Goat milk soap is a gentle cleanser rich in fatty acids that can help support a healthy skin barrier to keep skin nourished and moisturized. We would love for you to check our soaps out. 

HORTONS FARM: We’re happy to announce a new product:

This is Buckler Leaf Sorrel, a perennial green with a unique flavor profile. Many are familiar with the taste of various wild sorrels. This one has a bright lemony taste. Sorrel may be cooked or eaten raw in salads. Our favorite way to use it is in egg bites or scrambled eggs.

“Sorrels are closely related species belonging to the Rumex genus. Most species are considered “weeds”, but this one has a fantastically refreshing and bright flavor – think lemony lettuce! The flowers, seeds, and even roots are edible as well. They attract beneficial insects, mine for minerals in the soil, and are drought-tolerant to name but a few of their traits.”

At this time we have a limited quantity available.
