January Newsletter

Howdy Folks,

I hope that you are are well and warm this winter. Our days have been pleasant, but we know that it won't last. Old man winter's harshness awaits us. Our gardening plans are coming along well. I am planning an early spring garden of pak choi, spring onions, spinach, sugar peas, cabbage, carrots, kohlrabi, leeks, and mixed lettuce. If there are any of you who want me to grow something not listed, please let me know. These vegetables should be available at the Ashe County Farmers Market by late May.

For the summer variety, we are still deciding, so if any of you have preferences, please feel free to let me know what you like. I am also planning a fall crop of butternut squash and pumpkins and gourds.

We have 9 nubian nannys bred and due in May, with the possibility of adding more nannys later. The hogs are breeding now and will deliver around May 5-15th, with weaning about June 23-30. Please order early if you wish to purchase a piglette. One litter is spoken for already!

Eat Well and Stay Healthy!

Ann
