So many new babies!
Meat pick up is Thursday Feb. 4th and Saturday Feb. 6th 2-5 each day. Remember veggie pick up is that time as well. We will have lots of goodies to choose from for CSA this month. (Delivery folks will be the same time 2-6pm.) You will get to meet Benjamin the bottle lamb! Bottle lamb is a name we use for lambs who have lost or been rejected by their mother and need to be bottle fed by us. In this case, Benjamin lost his mother so we feed him lamb replacement milk. Sometimes when a sheep has 3 lambs she rejects one of them. We have only had one set of triplets this year and their mom is doing great with all 3.
We are enjoying the snow so much, we hope you have had a nice time sledding or building snowmen like we did. We have been enjoying some nice soups lately and lots of cookies and bread! We have started a sour dough starter and have enjoyed baking with it. We have tried crackers, muffins and cake! We will begin some breads now that our starter is mature.
We have also made some new dishes this winter. We love our instant pot sesame chicken and rice, but this week we tried Lo Mein. We just sautéed cabbage (which Johnny accidently pronounces garbage instead of cabbage), mushrooms, onions and ground beef, then add some cooked noodles and sesame oil, ginger, honey, soy sauce and pepper to taste. YUM! We don’t use pasta often, but it made a great quick meal that everyone loved.
We made this fried bread recipe with the parsley last week for a great quick snack before evening milking. We did one batch with olives, but not everyone loved those! We have also been making fun slaws with cabbage, radishes and onions. We hope you have been enjoying the winter flavors! We will be trying these yummy steak bites that a farmily member recommended tomorrow for a quick dinner after CSA.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Blessings,
The Bakers
