It has been a while since our last update and much has happened. Our garden is now empty of all but a few squashes and carrots and the leaves on the trees are turning and falling with the inexorable marching of time to the winter. We have lots of spaghetti squash and pumpkins available, as well as some onions.
Its been interesting times on our farm. I recently started working with a very experienced and high quality butcher who is planning on retiring. Our plan is to buy his business and set up shop as a butcher! It is a great opportunity to learn from a master to make the highest quality products myself. He is the one who has done most of the butchering and sausage making(except the farmer sausage) for our products. Some products are running low already! We will get more in soon, but if you want some now order soon to make sure we have some available! See our Products page for info on pricing. We will provide updates on this venture as things unfold. You will be able to buy our products at our retail store in Dugald, MB, only a few kilometers from the perimeter highway east of Winnipeg. This will mean that we will also be changing our focus on the farm and moving away from the vegetables to concentrate on the meat products and eggs. This is a very exciting time for us, yet also very very busy and stressful which is why we will be moving to a monthly rather than weekly newsletter format as I have not had time recently to devote to this. As many of you know, we are also expecting our second child in the new year, which will make for a very interesting time in the Durksen household!
