Hello friends,
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Though we have always raised all our food with beyond organic standards, we have had our vegetables and fruit CERTIFIED ORGANIC!
Today is National CSA Day, what a great way to celebrate offering last years pricing for a few more days! We will be advertising this weekend at the Loudoun Grown Expo in Purcellville, so come on by if you want to know more about how our CSA shares work. If you are already a member and want to sign up again for this Summer please let me know by Sunday to receive last years pricing! We love growing food for you! At the expo we will also have our herbal products available. Here at Day Spring we strive to eat our way to good health by consuming lots of whole foods, no soy, no GMO’s and no chemicals. When illness does strike we try and heal our selves with herbs and other natural support. We will have our last batch of the year of elderberry syrup and shrub at the expo and the cabin! OH and we will be giving away samples of elderberry gummies, while supplies last!
There is seriously so much excitement around the farm, it’s hard to keep up! We got our first batch of chicks this week, they are so cute and warm and cozy in their greenhouse! The children love them, it never gets old! We took some pigs to the processor yesterday and are always thankful for a safe trip and happy, healthy piggies!
Delivery update: We hope to have a drop site in Purcellville this season, so please let us know if you are interested in picking up there! We need 10 families to sign up to make it work. We will continue with our broadlands drop site as well. And farm pick up is Thursday and Saturday as usual!
IMPORTANT DATES: LAST CSA of Winter is April 16th for deliver and 18th for farm pick up. Then we take one week off and resume again April 30th and May 2nd with meat pick up both of those days. Also for the March meat pick up the meat won’t be back from the processor until Friday the 6th. If you would like more variety in pork please come Saturday instead. If you need to come Thursday please let us know and we’ll make an appointment to help you. You may also give us a list of desired items for this pick up and we will pack it and leave it the following Thursday. Sorry, scheduling the butcher isn’t always easy! But we can’t wait for our full line of sausages again! And Pork chops!
We hope you have had a great week and enjoyed some snow flurries today!
Blessings,
The Bakers
