Friends,
Great to live in Cleveland! If you are reading this from your phone in bed, you may want to look outside (or not). Two day's from Opening Day, and we have 3" of fresh snow, and yes it is still coming down. What the heck !
We had a productive week on the farm. Despite the weather, the chickens are laying quite well and we are selling another 12 new laying hens this week, thanks to a very loyal and a new customer adding to their existing flocks. We are a short time away from an abundance of eggs with the 30+ new hens coming on line soon. We will sell their smaller, new pullet eggs for half price when they start arriving.
We are having our own Tourney Pool. If you guess the day of the first egg from our chickens born December 10th, you will win 2 free dozen and a jar of Uncle Joe Peppers delivered ! Please email me your entries: Date and time (morning or night). The tie breaker will be color (white, brown or blue / green)
Compost deliveries continue to go smoothly, except for the now broken tailgate on the truck. Please let me know if you have an extra dump truck you want to sell. For the time being, we are sold out of compost until I finish this wave of deliveries and determine what we have left.
Lambs are completely weaned and we shipped 5 this week for 4-H members from Summit and Medina Counties.
We sold 4 ricks of firewood this past week and have a goal of selling another 6 over the next month. Please let me know if you want to stock up for snowy days ahead (hopefully 8 months from now)!!
Fun fact: The 2007 Cleveland Indians home opener "Snow put a halt – and then some – to the Cleveland Indians' April 6, 2007 home opener against the Seattle Mariners as the teams made it to the top of the fifth inning before the game was called. The grounds crew, using snow blowers and brooms, spent more time on the field than the players during nearly three hours of stoppages, according to ESPN. Games the next two days were also postponed by snow, so the Indians moved their next home series versus the Angels to Milwaukee’s Miller Park, which has a retractable roof."
Go Tribe !!
