Weather Always a Factor

Monday, January 30, 2023

Hello friends,

.....The weather is always a factor on a farm. If you want a weather forecast, ask a farmer because they are watching it closely. Sometimes the forecasts are not so accurate. Which day should we put out hay? Should we let the cows have access to the loafing shed? Do we need to put a stock tank heater in the calves’ water tank? Should we let the chickens out in the snow or keep them in the house? All dependent on the weather. We’ve had our ups and downs lately, but it looks like a typical winter for next week.

We are now offering Keifer with the KC Food Hub. If you can’t meet me on Friday at noon for our weekly delivery to the city, you can order online through the Hub and get other local farms’ products as well. There are a variety of our products listed with the Hub, but you can get everything listed below EXCEPT raw milk from us when we come on Friday. The keifer has a jar deposit so if you want to save the $2.00 deposit, you can bring a quart jar with a plastic lid. If you have a jar but not a plastic lid, I have lids for $0.50 each. In general, we are trying to reuse the packaging. Please return them clean and dry so our dishwasher just sanitizes.....
