I hope this finds you all doing ell.
It finds me in pain and discomfort. I am sure you all know by now about my accident.
Luckily I survived with just a broken leg and broken ribs to go along with the glass lodged in my hands, face and head. And lets no forget the muscle tares, strains and sever bruising. But Thank the lord and all who have been praying for me I am alive.
The market is open for the week. My sons have stepped up to the plate to make sure we are moving along. We will be tilling, hilling and planting soon so I will be calling on the promised help soon.
The veggies, cheese, mushrooms and more all look great this week. And yes all the orders we get along with any donations you may wish to make will be helping to keep us afloat. The first of the bills have hit and it looks ugly.
We have not had any takers on the milk run yet. I should be able to make a long trip, riding shotgun, in a few more weeks to train my nephew on where to go so keep an eye out.
I also add to the market this week our new Heritage Hog Reservations. This pork is different from any others you have tried. It is a much darker meat with tremendous flavor. This type of hog also finishes larger than our previous pigs.
They are MuleFoot – Red Waddle crosses.
I expect them to finish in late July or August. They are priced a bit higher than the last round but with rising feed cost, the extra expenses in labor, fuel and added boar and sow cost I see no other alternative.
I will say this though, the quality of the meat and the increased finishing size will keep the cost around $5.00 to $5.50 per lb.
Remember you have at least 21 meals to plan for this week, 28+ if you include your snacks. We hope some of your selections come from our efforts. We enjoy being your farmers.
Thank you for all your support. Please remember to have your orders placed by 8PM on Tuesday. We will see you on Friday between 5PM and 7PM at Copy Central (1264 Parker Road, Conyers) and don’t forget to share us with a friend.
Thank you,
Brady Bala
