Preparing for Our Last Class of the Year

November 30th, 2022

Our last class of the year, “Goat Tales”, is coming up this Saturday, December 3rd at 10am! This class will allow you to spend some time with our four Nubian goats: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Ginger. You’ll learn about how they fit into the ecosystem of the farm along with their unique biology and eating habits as a ruminant. This class is open to the public and runs from 10-11am on December 3rd. Head here to secure your spot!

You have two opportunities remaining this year to join one of Farmer Nathan’s Bird Walks: Sunday, December 4th and Sunday, December 18th at 9am. Our Bird Walks allow attendees to experience some of the bird life that lives on and around the farm. One of the species that Farmer Nathan is particularly excited about is the Vermilion flycatcher. These brilliantly colored birds are more of a rarity in our area but they tend to show up consistently on the farm! Our Bird Walks are free of charge and open to the public. We encourage you to bring your own binoculars but we do have a couple of spares to loan out. Head here to sign up!

We’ll be harvesting the first our Romaine lettuce crop for you this week! Romaine (pictured below) is a head lettuce variety which means it forms a single head as the name indicates. These heads of Romaine have a crunchy texture and mildly sweet flavor. They’re perfect for chopped salads or you can try cutting them lengthwise into four wedges and grilling them for a smoky flavor. Farmer Nathan highly recommends pairing them with a homemade “Ranch” dressing using some of our dill, cilantro, and parsley. You can get our Romaine at the farm stand on Saturday or add some to your Vegetable Share this week!
