Wild Turkey Farms News- June 18, 2010
I guess I spoke too soon last week when I talked about only having 1 resident at the "WTF Hilton". Since our last newsletter we've had about 6 more lambs born, 4 of which we've brought home to bottle feed, and unfortunately only 1 (Cheesecake) of those 4 is still left. I guess this heat is just making it hard for the babies to get a good start on life. It's odd how some lambs never have the first bit of problems and then you turn around and lose a whole set of triplets the next day but I guess that's nature for you. As a farmer you learn to be thankful for what you have and do the best with it that you can.
Website update- Many of you have emailed to let us know that the anti-virus programs on your computer will not let you visit our website. We're sorry for the inconvenience but our host has evidently had their servers hacked and it keeps getting fed through the websites on that server. We're working to get them to fix it but until then please visit us through our blog (http://wildturkeyfarms.blogspot.com/ ) or on facebook.
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.
We'll also be restocked on bone in & boneless pork chops as well as hot dogs too so come stock up.
We will be at the China Grove Farmers Market at the Mill Friday from 4-7pm so come see us.
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.
