For those interested in what we are doing, we have started a newsletter which you can sign up for at www.durksenfarm.com. It contains much of the info we have here plus some pictures and more.
This Saturday is our first chicken processing day for this year. They look very happy and healthy and should be just in the weight range we like. We still have a few frozen ones from fall on clearance, but will have a freezer full of fresh ones this weekend! The other big event this week is we will be sending out 4 pigs for processing next Tuesday. We will finally be able to fill our freezers with wonderful farmer sausage, bacon, and other pork products! See our Products page for info on pricing. This week we have finally started to get some harvest from other plants like peas, beans and herbs. Unfortunately, some of our lettuce was decimated by deer.
Kale Tips(Continued): – Last week I gave a recipe supposedly for kale chips, but ended up being a great recipe for burnt kale! It was truly terrible. I will post a new recipe for some “Sour Cream and Onion” kale chips soon, I had some at a family gathering recently and they were fantastic! Keep and eye on our Tips and Recipes page for it and more recipes. The kale soup recipe that is there is tried and tested as being very good!
Here are the newest additions to our farm: nine healthy baby pigs! Just born today. We also got some new chicks this week. See our newsletter for more pictures!
