Bethany Sarah Baker born August 20, 2020 into the loving hands of her Daddy! She weighed 10 pounds and has tons of hair! What a gift from the Lord she is to us all!
We are so thankful for the safe arrival of our baby Girl! Also so thankful for all the support and prayers for us. What a wonderful community we have here among our “farm-ily”, friends and family! Thank you for being a blessing to us! Mom and baby are doing great and look forward to saying hello this week. We are all enjoying lots of baby snuggles. She was well worth the wait!
This week is a busy one for us, we have some new things coming to CSA. The new butcher we used had some great sausages to offer and that will be fun! We are also watching the fall crops come along nicely. We are patiently waiting for broccoli, cauliflower and salad greens. What a challenge the salad was this summer, we had a few crop and irrigation failures that really set us back on the greens, but there was plenty of other veggies that did really well! The change of seasons is so fun to watch and eat! It seems unreal that summer could be winding down, but the days are growing shorter and cooler for sure.
We have a farmer boy turning 6 tomorrow! He has requested scrapple and donuts for breakfast and grilled corn on the cob for dinner! Summer birthdays are great fun. We have been loading up on kale salads with tomatoes. And the melons will soon come to and end, but boy have they been so good! We haven’t had much time for preserving, but before long we will be cutting the extra peppers and freezing them to add to stir fry in the winter. The okra makes great pickles so if you have some extra give that a try.
Be sure to mark your calendars for this Thursday and Saturday 2-5 as the meat pick ups for September. We look forward to seeing you then! Also, later this week we will open the registrations for the winter CSA so watch for a second email and reply, or sign up online, or let us know at pick up and we will reserve your spot.
Blessings,
Jessie and Bethany
