Wild Turkey Farms News- June 11, 2010
We'll it's mostly been the same ole same ole this week at the farm. We're working hard to keep tractors running, get things planted, and make sure everybody has plenty of water to keep from overheating. A little outside of the norm has been the addition of Poundcake to the family this week.
Those of you that follow WTF on Facebook and our blog have probably heard about Cupcake the lamb. A little over a year ago we rescued Cupcake the lamb from death's door after her mom refused to accept her. She proceeded to spend the next 2 weeks living in our bathroom and being fed by a bottle 3-4 times a day. Well this week we repeated the story with another lamb we've named Poundcake. As the same old story goes, her mom didn't want to feed her so she is now residing in the WTF Hilton (ie our bathroom) enjoying room service 3-4 times a day and an occasional romp around the house while the dog is outside. It's fun to watch her bounce around the house playing with the boys when she's out on her rec break. I guess this means we'll have another lifelong resident at WTF. Gosh! I sure hope we don't end up with a Cheesecake anytime soon.
New Item this week-
Pepperoni!!! If you didn't get one last weekend come pick up some of our fresh pepperoni chubs this weekend. These are perfect for a quick pizza or adding to a fresh salad. Made from our fresh Berkshire pork they are a great treat.
Rosty & Lee are headed to pick up bacon, breakfast links, and hopefully our prosciutto ham this morning. I'm going to say that we will NOT be at the China Grove Farmers Market at the Mill today since it's a 13 hour round trip down east to do so and we will most likely not be back in time.
Davidson Farmer's Market (8am-noon). Don't forget that we're in the parking lot of town hall this year so that we can work out of our trailer. This allows us to have a larger volume on hand & better serve everyone. We'll be beside our friends at the Correll Farm so come to "the South End" to stock up on great tasting locally raised natural meats, eggs, and veggies. Our young chickens are starting to lay pretty good but it'll still be a few weeks until we'll have plenty of eggs & stop selling out by 10am . Sorry but until then you'll need to be there early to get eggs.
Domisty will be set up at the Salisbury Farmers Market tomorrow so come find us under the big green tent 7am-noon so come on out and load up on great pork, beef, & goat. She'll be working out of her van with limited space so you are welcome to email us your order today (please do so before about 7pm) to make sure you'll get what you need tomorrow & help her better prepare. If you're interested email us to get an updated product list.
We hope that you'll support some of the chefs & businesses that support us & other local farmers.
