Poultry and Family business
Let me start by saying thank you so much for being my customers this year!!!! The farm is alive and kicking thanks to all of you.
RMF is going into the pastured poultry business full throttle! We'll be growing the legal limit of 1000 birds for the summer of 2009. The first batch will be available the week of May 11th, and our intention is to process every 2 weeks all summer. Egg production is also going to increase, and eggs will be available at the Ashe and Watauga market next spring.
On the family front, my daughter, Autumn will be managing the Ashe Market booth in the coming season, freeing me up for RMF's Watauga booth (except on App State home game days). This aligns with our committment to provide fresh, local food, while supporting the sustainability model and reducing our carbon footprint (and yours!).
I would like to extend a special thank you to my agriculture extension agent Richard Boyland, and my friend and business partner Virginia Tate. The farm is growing and improving at a steady pace.
Happy Holidays, however you celebrate, and Merry Christmas to all!
Eat Healthy, Stay Well,
Ann

The Ashe County Farmers Market will re-open on Dec 6 and 13th, with new winter hours of 10 am to 3 pm. I hope to see you there. I will have about 4 cases of butternut squash and plenty of pork, lamb and whole chicken.
For 2009, our production will gear towards meat. I will be offering pastured poultry April- Sept, Goat and Lamb 100% grass and forage fed Aug- Dec., and pastured pork year-round. For a pricing list that you can print, please click here.
I will be using my greenhouse for the early spring greens, and I am open to suggestions or pre-orders. I will continue to offer early braising greens, radishes, herbs, lettuce, and mustard and/or turnip greens.
CSA shares are now available for the 2009 growing season. Learn all about our CSA program and how you can get the local produce from RMF all season long. Give our best to your family for a Christmas present! Buying a share not only helps your local farmer and the local economy, but also assures you have quality, local, fresh vegetables to nourish your bodies.
