Dear friends,
Yes we are still in business despite our lack of marketing, the road construction and a summer break from the rain. Given our lapse in communication, this will be an action-packed update
First, we had a miracle lamb born last Thursday. Ewe #155 was loaned to another farm to be a surrogate (after having two of her own lambs) and while there she must have been exposed to a ram. Poof! Fall lamb surprise. The 10-pound ram lamb is doing great and ready for visitors.
Second, our lambs have been doing wonderful at the local fairs! We had the Grand Champion Market Lamb at the Summit County Fair and the first place class winner and final drive at the Medina county fair (90 lambs and 25 in our class). Congrats to the 4H students showing the lambs and thank you to Joe Pikor (Grand River Hay and Livestock) for his counsel and renting his ram "Elvis" to breed. The Great Geauga County Fair will be over labor day weekend with 4H events Thursday prior. Stop by, it is awesome!
Third, the Guinea fowl are doing extremely well in the barn and we are really, really, really ready to reduce the decibel level of the farm and deliver many of them to Tony this week!
Fourth, WE HAVE A TON OF EGGS! We are offering a summer sale of $4 per dozen. Until the construction is done, I am happy to deliver any amount around our area. Please let me know when I can drop them off.
Fifth, firewood sales are kicking off in earnest this month. Lauren and Harry will be home the next few weeks for delivery help. Please let me know when you can take delivery. There may be a small price increase starting in September
Fun fact: We had two winners for the puzzle contest. I guess I am one of the few who like puzzles because I know it was not that hard. The answer was from Mark Twain:
