Not an whole lot has changed in our farm since last week. Our produce choices are a bit limited at the moment, but in the next two to three weeks there will be many more products being added to the list of available vegetables. We are continuing to work on our website and I will be working on the format of the newsletter emails. As always, if you are interested in any of our products please feel free to call(204-866-4408) or email(tim_durksen@hotmail.com).
We are in the process of getting ready to put in the biggest pork order that we have yet completed. So far we have only processed one pig at a time, but now we are doing four. We recently ran low on most of our pork products so this will insure that we have plenty for the next few months.
Egg Tip – Boiling Farm Fresh Eggs
An interesting fact about eggs: fresh eggs(which have been collected within the last 14 days) will not peel as easily when boiled. If you want to boil fresh eggs its easiest to leave it in the fridge for 3-4 weeks and then boil them. They then peel more easily and the white does not stick to the shell as much as the fresh eggs. This is not usually a problem with eggs from the store because the eggs in the store are generally 3 weeks to 3 months old when they are on the shelves.
For Trinity folks, this week’s vegetable(and anyone interested in vegetables) harvest will be:
Kale – $2.25/bag
Lettuce – $2.50/bag

If anyone would like green onions we can bring some in for you at $1.50/bunch, but we will let them grow if not.
Please note the prices are subject to change week to week.
