Farm and Market Day

     Saturday mornings are Farmer’s Market day and with family coming for a week and a half, we wanted to get some meat in the freezer for them and winter and stock up on veggies, cheese, eggs, and fresh pasta for our week.  We are now getting two pullet eggs a day and have a great vegetable garden, but there are some things I don’t grow, but like or that just aren’t producing yet.  Today was a great market, live music and an art show in the street of the market block.  We left early enough to get pancakes and bacon for breakfast before shopping and arrived home early enough to start the farm work.
