Grumpy Goat:  Brrrrrrrrrrr - Egg Sale!!!!!


It has been a chilly week on the farm as I am sure you are all struggling with as well. The critters are all snug in the barn but I know that they are dreaming of a day when the temp will hit 30 … or even 20 or 10 for that matter.

Due to the cold we moved all the eggs inside. I did put out some in the big fridge today (with a light on) in case people were coming to pick up. If the big fridge is empty please call the house phone for a refill 419-753-2531 or Matt’s phone 541-505-4494. Eggs this week (through next Tuesday or while supplies last) are $3/dozen. We’d like to move them (plus the fridge inside isn’t as big as the outside ones).

Also the Pac Choi row is still delicious so get your orders in for some homegrown winter greens. For the fresh greens, If you missed this weeks order, we can definitely put some out for you any other day. Just leave a note in the comments when you want to pick up. I’d love to see it get eaten! All orders will be placed in the big fridge this week to keep them from freezing.

We hope to have kale, arugula, and lettuce soon too if they all survive this cold snap. They are growing super slow at this point.

Stay warm out there!

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  Conatiner Returns


Since I had a little help putting out orders and restocking coolers and container returns, I did not get a chance to see who to give return credits to. If you left some last Saturday, can you please send me a quick email saying you made retuns and I’ll add your credit!

Thnaks!

Good morning from the farm! We are opening a day late this week because I was in Charlotte this weekend celebrating my Dad’s 80th birthday! Also, a shoutout to my hometown Buffalo Bills for their win :)
My entire family takes our Bills as serious as most folks do of ‘the Dawgs’ around here!
I’m back and have a French menu for you this week. Enjoy the deeply warm and comforting choices of soups and stews we have. Brown Bakehouse is back too!!!! And with a delightful surprise, she has new items!! Pizza dough and bagels are an addition to her regular offerings.
Stay warm this week! It looks like a frigid one!

*FAYETTEVILLE DELIVERY SERVICE UPDATE FOR 2024. *

—customers who are not able to drive to pickup location
—customers who already donate each time they receive a delivery

If you are a customer in the above categories, please put “Free Delivery” in the comments as you finish ordering.

If you request delivery and you are not in the above categories, please choose delivery service as one of your items when you order. You can find this item under Delivery and the cost will be no more than $7 for each delivery date. This service will be charged to your order. We will make sure that Seeds that Feed receives all of those fees.

Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!


As I write this message, we have at least an inch of snow on the farm with more falling. No doubt about it – the growers for Foothills Market have a challenging week ahead. We’ll face a struggle to keep plants alive and animals fed, watered and as warm as possible.

Offerings on the market will be limited this week, so if you want some fresh produce, you’ll probably need to order quickly. Also be aware that, depending on what happens with the weather, a grower may have to cancel some items. We really appreciate your understanding!

Our offerings of beef and sweet spreads, of course, are not affected by the weather! Shop between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Weather permitting, we’ll have your orders ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon (if conditions make it so we can’t have market pickup on Thursday, we will contact you for other arrangements).

Stay warm!
