Wild Turkey Farms: WTF News- March 15, 2013

Happy St Patrick's Day Weekend!

Full Steam Ahead!!!! We're rocking and a rolling along as the garden fills up with veggies and the pastures start greening up. Sorry for the short (and late) newsletter but yesterday ended late & today started early so somehow the newsletter slipped my mind until a friend of mine from Idaho called to ask if I was still alive since he didn't get his newsletter. It's good to know your friends are looking out for you even if they are 2000 miles away.

We'll be back at the Davidson Farmers Market this Saturday 9-noon. There will be an additional DFM March 31 9-noon since we had an extra saturday in the month. Then summer market begins in April!!!!

If you can't make it to DFM just give us a call and come by the farm 704-202-9348

Salisbury Farmers Market starts up April 20th- The location is moving this year due to the old site being sold. We don't know where the new site will be yet but we will keep you posted as things develop!
