We are having another harvest on Feb 28. Get your orders in. They are still just $2.75/#. If you want the liver, heart, gizzard be sure to let us know.

This the last call for fryers. They will be processed on Feb 14. They will weigh 4-5 pounds and are $2.75 per pound. They will be shrink wrapped and ready for your freezer. They are the rock- cornish cross chicken. They are excellent fryers and you will immediately notice the difference between the store version. They must be picked up before 2 pm. We also have local honey, but need to know in advance to make sure adequate honey is available. Prices vary depending on the size of bottle.
Also, we have a split half available for the Mar 9 harvest. Remember, there will be no more until late summer, early fall.

I forgot to include that we will be showing some videos starting on Feb 9. We will have showings on the following four mondays. We plan to start at 7 pm. What's Going on With Our Food Production? Flyers will be in Java Junction and La Sous Terre with the entire program. We are awaiting permission to show the video King Corn. It should not be a problem since we are not charging admission. We will be in the basement, La Sous Terre. Topics to be covered include CAFO's, GMO, Corn and Food Fights. The videos will be about 60 minutes and some nights there will be two videos. Hopefully, we will have enough space. To make sure, since the space is rather small and seating is limited, get there early. We do have some standing room. Perhaps it might help for everyone to RSVP.
That's it for now. Art and Debra
I am sending this web site that my daughter Marlies found yesterday. I have included ALL my contacts. After listening to the Michael Pollan interview, you will want to include your friends as well. Please feel free to post a comment to our web site. Go to INTERACT and CONTACT US. The NPR site has the interview (Listen Now), which you can listen to while doing other tasks. It also has the New Yorker Magazine article (Open Letter). I attended a lecture by Dr John Ikerd at the Small Farmers Gathering in Columbia, Mo this past weekend and he had essentially the same thoughts. I am also using my list from our website, so some of you may get it twice.
If you care about the environment, wonder about the US food policy, or grew up in a farming community, I beg you to listen to this archived story. Terry Gross from Fresh Air interviews Michael Pollan, who is brilliant in my opinion. 40 minutes of insight into what our agricultural society has been transformed.

We have access to some pasture raised fryers. They will be ready in about two weeks. They will be about 4-5 pounds. Nature's Pantry has whole fryers for $3.59 per pound. We are asking $3.25. There is only 50 total, so it's first come first to get. They will be vaccuumed packaged. If you purchased at least ten you will get a free jar of local honey. They must be picked up -- no deliveries at this price.
