Greetings Conway Locally Grown Community,

It’s spring cleaning time at Falling Sky Farm. We’re clearing falling limbs out of pasture edges, burning brush piles, cleaning up overgrown fencerows, putting in new fencing….in other words, frantically getting ready for the growing season….which may be upon us already. The grass is looking greener and thicker every week, the cows are mooing anxiously, longing for fresh greens after months of eating dry, dusty hay. Soon we’ll be fastening tarps back on to our fleet of chicken coops, preparing them for another 9 months of production after their lonely winter fallowing. Honestly I’m itching for springtime. I miss the colors – white and pink blossoms bathed in fresh green. I miss the smells – wet clover in the morning, honeysuckle on the breeze, even the pungent chicken poop. Most of all I miss working comfortably in a t-shirt and straw hat instead of coveralls and a wool cap. I guess I should keep in mind that one of these frosts will be the last one, and then it’s work work work sweat sweat sweat all the way to November. I got interested in farming because I wanted a slow, peaceful lifestyle. Ha! Real farmers spend most of their time trying to catch up.

From Cedar Rock Ridge:
Thanks for all who sampled our new recipe for Spicy Asian Cabbage on Friday. Your comments were much appreciated! Most did not get a chance to pick up their own jar since it sold out so quickly, but have no fear. This week’s batch produced 4 pints for only $4, and 5 half-pints for $2.50. Get yours, and enjoy

The market is now open. Go to conway.locallygrown.net/market to place your order. Click the checkout button once when you’re finished and you will receive a confirmation email when your order has been received. Thanks and have a wonderful week.

Sincerely,
Gabe Levin
