A Day Off

Hello

It is so nice to have a day off.  Other than Octoberfest this is the only other Saturday I have had off since June.  But, I feel bad that I am not there for my customers.

My husband farms by day and drives semi by night.  He got home from work at 3:00am today, that is the time I get up to get ready for the farmers market, and he said it was pouring out.
I don't mind loading the freezers in the van when it is misting or sprinkling, but I can't do it when it is pouring.  Even if I cover the boxes, they get damp and that is what causes frost in the freezers.

So, since I am home today, I will get a head start on entering all my farm records (sales and expenses) into the computer to get ready for tax season.

CHECKING  FOR  SOMETHING  NEW

I love it when I see that people are checking to see if I wrote something new for the upcoming farm market.  But, I feel bad when I realize they are checking early in the week so they are seeing what I wrote for the week before.  Please continue to check, but I would like to let you know that to be on the safe side, check Thursday night.

I am going to try to put some information on here more often.  I have some big ideas on what I would like to add, recipes, nutrition info, charts, pictures from the farm.  I just keep running out of time.

Rain this weekend

Hello

NO I will not be at the farm market tomorrow due to the rain all day.

I will be back next weekend.

See you next week.

New Booth Space for October

I just got the word:

My new booth space for the rest of October while we are still outside is - - -

On the north side of the street on College Ave. next to the main enterance of the City Center in front of the Gyros Restaurant.

If I am there tomorrow this is where I will be.  But, you will be able to find me there next week on the 20th for sure.

Plans for Saturday

At this time (noon on Friday)

I do not know if my booth space will be moved to College Ave.

BUT

As of the weather forcast for tomorrow so far, it looks like rain all day starting at 3:00am (which is when I get up to start loading for the market) and the rain will go until about noon on Sunday.

I will check the weather again tonight to see if it pays for me to get up at 3:00am to check the weather then.
If they change it because the weather is moving in slower than exspected and it will not start to rain until Saturday afternoon, then I will go to the market.

But as it stands now, I don't think I will be going.

I will update this later today.

Have a nice indoor weekend.

Farmers Market October 13

Hello

The forcast for Saturday went for 80% rain and thunderstorms to 100% rain.
I will check the weather late on Friday and/or early Saturday morning and then post here,
Please check here on my website to see if I will be at the market Saturday.

If I am at the market, my booth location may be changing.
It is that time of the year when they try to move the vendors from the park out to College Ave.
But, they don't know yet if there is an opening.  I may find out tomorrow.  If so, I will post that also so you know where to find me.

Beer Brats are back

Beer Brats are back for the football season.

No need to parboil in beer.  (but you still can if you want to)  The beer is mixed right in the sausage.
In the past my beer brats were made with beef.  But this time they are made the traditional way with all pork.

This is a great party brat for the football game parties.
Try them with fried onions or with sauer kraut.
