Wild Turkey Farms News- July 16, 2010
Why I don't gamble- last week I made the comment in the newsletter that my gamble on planting had paid off- oops. While we got a good rain here at the house the farm (about 2 miles away) didn't get enough to settle the dust. We did manage to get about 0.4 inches early in the week but with the hot weather it didn't stick around long. We are however very thankful that we didn't get the bad weather that many of you experienced this week. The weatherman says we should get a shower over the weekend but we'll wait and see what happens. Perhaps things will turn around. Who know if we get a good rain we might even go buy a lotto ticket before my luck runs out- we could use a couple million but I'd probably just farm it all away anyhow.
Eggs- We are covered up in eggs now so bring a couple friends and come see us at the farmers markets this weekend for a dozen or 18 count (our smaller eggs) of our free range organically raised eggs.
This weeks specials-
Sausage Patties 10% off- Mild, Hot, Maple, or Mild Extra Sage available. Great tasting addition to our eggs for breakfast.
Beef Soup Bones- $3/bag or 2 for $4- We're over stocked so our loss is your gain. Makes a great beef broth or a great "popsicle" treat for your pooch on a hot summer day.
We will be at the China Grove Farmers Market at the Mill Friday from 4-7pm so come see us for all of your meat needs.
Davidson Farmer's Market (8am-noon). We're in the Town Hall parking lot working out of our big white trailer just up hill of our friends at Correll Farms. Come pick up something to throw on the grill or get a couple packs of sausage & a dz eggs and treat yourself to a fresh local breakfast Sunday morning.
We'll be at the Salisbury Farmers Market tomorrow so come find us under the big green tent (once again just up hill from our friends at Correll Farms) 7am-noon so come on out and load up.
We hope that you'll support some of the chefs & businesses that support us & other local farmers.

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.
