Farmer Johnny enjoying a tillage radish! It’s actually a cover crop designed to loosen our hard mountain soil, but the children found them tasty! We are busy getting ready for the first veggie pick up since moving our farm to wild, wonderful West Virginia! Don’t worry, no tillage radishes in the shares this week! We will be enjoying carrots, potaotes, aurugula, romanesco (cauli/ broc cross) and more!
It’s not too late to sign up for the Winter season or just try out the month of November! Either sign up online or reply to this email to get wholesome, healthy food headed your way!
We have a batch of meat chickens that will be ready to harvest along side the turkeys at the end of this month. They and we are grateful for the warm days we are having and grass and bugs still available! We had our first WV born calf born Sunday, a nice little bull calf. The farmer children named him Billy Boo. Boo being Pennsylvania Dutch for boy. Our Amish neighbors think it’s funny when our children pick up dutch words from them. It was amazing living among all the fall colors in the mountains, reminding us our help comes from the hills.
Psalm 121
121 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Blessings friends!
