Dear friends,

We had another great week on the farm, capped off with a spectacular Sunday afternoon.  We hope you can spend time outdoors the next couple days.  

The lambs are growing very quickly.  For the first three weeks, they averaged gaining nearly 1 pound per day.  Since most ewes have two lambs, they are eating amazing amounts of grain and hay, and always seem to be hungry.  Our two bottle-feeders have migrated from the garage back to the barn.  They have adapted quite well, especially when they have experienced visitors like the Swift family feed them (see below) !

And yes, the chickens are laying a ton of eggs !!  Please buy a lot and often.  They make great gifts.  I am happy to drop them off if we are not on your errand route.  Just shoot me a text (216-533-0820).  We have a sophisticated inventory system to ensure their freshness.  Also if you have extra cartons, from any source, please feel free to drop them off for reuse. 

Fun fact:  The yolk of an egg is not a baby chicken but rather the high protein food that will help a chicken embryo grow into a chick inside the egg.  

Have a great week !

Harry, Lauren and Harry
