Wild Turkey Farms News- July 9, 2010
A gamble pays off-Thanks God for the rain. Yesterday we decided to take a gamble and plant a couple acres of our summer grazing that it's been too dry to do for the last couple weeks. With the hot weather yesterday and the humidity climbing higher we felt the conditions were right for an evening shower. As the day went on and got really hazy we were sure that any minute dark clouds would build but by dark I'd decided just to start fresh on Friday wishing and praying for rain. Low & behold I got up this morning to find that we got a shower last night. That reminds me of one of the most important rules of farming- never give up hope, He won't let you down.
Eggs- I know you'll all be glad to know that our 200 new (newly working that is) employees are going full bore now and we finally have plenty of eggs. We actually did NOT sell out at Davidson last week for the first time since last summer. So come see us for a dozen or 18 count (our smaller eggs) of our free range organically raised eggs.
With the abundance of fresh produce available now try making a Local Pizza- Dough and pizza sauce of your choice (homemade is best of course), some WTF Italian Sausage or Pepperoni, some fresh onions, thin sliced heirloom tomatoes, and fresh basil from Correll Farms. A quick and great tasting summer treat.
This weeks special- The poor man's pork chop- Our thick cut ham steaks are 10% off this week. This often overlooked and under appreciated cut is a great way to feed your family or friends a great meal. Ham steaks are very versatile and can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or cut up and used as kabobs. Save the bone and trimmings to add flavor to those fresh green beans you pick up at the Farmers Market too.
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.
