Eggs & Extras May 24, 2012

Hello gang,

I am feeling my way this second week of both farm shares and extras.  Naturally, the harvest is for both things and I haven't quite sorted out how to determine what is extra and when that is clear.  Usually, I email on Wednesdays but it might make more sense to write you on Thursdays when the shares are ready, or possibly even Friday, after pick up of the shares.  Stay tuned!

Today's Extras:
Kale - 2 bunches - 3.50 each
Radishes - 3 bunches - 1.00 each
Mesclun - 8 bags - 2.50 each
Just leaf lettuce mix (more mild than the mesclun) - 4 bags - 2.50 each
Salad turnips - 1 bunch - 2.50
Head lettuce - 3 heads (1 is buttercrunch) - 1.00 each

All eggs are spoken for at the moment.  We will probably have a short lull in eggs for the next few days because...we have a broody hen!  Once she is established in her special nesting box all the green eggs and Welsummer eggs will go to her for hatching.  We are hoping for more Welsummer hens and some olive green eggs next spring.

While you are at the farm, be sure to peek in at the ducklings.  They are very cute!
