Wild Turkey Farms Newsletter- March 4, 2010

Wild Turkey Farms News- March 4, 2010

Guess what we had this week.....more snow yeahhhhhh. Enough of all this white stuff I'm ready for all of our pastures to be lush & green. Actually I guess the snow was a good thing and will help get us to that goal. We've spent the last 2 weekends reseeding pastures and the snow will be good for helping to get that grass & clover off to a great start especially if we can get some nice weather for the next week or 2. I sure am ready for spring to get here. We plan to get in the greenhouse this weekend & get some plants started for this summer- better late than never a guess.

As I mentioned in our last newsletter, we held our first ever charcuterie class with Chef Charles Catering on Feb 13 & we had a great time. Our good friend Sara Pitzer wrote a wonderful article that ran in the Salisbury Post last week. Thanks Sara.

Our next Charcuterie class is going to be held on Saturday March 27 10am- 3pm at Chef Charles Catering in Charlotte. The cost is $120 per person and includes a wonderful gourmet lunch and participants get a share of everything they make during the workshop. Come by our booth at the Davidson Farmers Market & check out the pictures from Feb 13. Class size is limited so sign up quickly by emailing us at wildturkey_farms@yahoo.com

Save the date: We're planning an afternoon open house, farm tour, and pig pick-in for Saturday May 15. Tickets will go on sale soon so stay tuned for more details.
