Opening Bell: Who's Your Hen?
Good evening,
You’ve probably all seen the bumper sticker, “Who’s Your Farmer?” This is intended to get us to think about the hard-working people that grow our food. Well, let’s also consider “Who’s Your Hen?” You know, those hard working ladies giving it their all to produce all those excellent eggs, day after day, week after week, and year after year. People choose their eggs based on several factors, some focusing on the hens’ diet, and others focusing on how the hens spend their days. Our Growers have tweaked their egg items to reflect on these things to help you make the best-informed food choice for your family. Here are two labels to look for in the item name: Organic *& *Pastured. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, *organic *means that the laying hens must have access to the outdoors and cannot be raised in cages. Organic egg producers cannot use antibiotics except during an infectious outbreak. Their feed must be organic and GMO-free. Only natural molting can occur within the flock; forced molting is not allowed. *Pastured *eggs are produced by hens that roam freely outdoors on a pasture where they can forage for their natural diet, which includes seeds, green plants, insects, and worms. Their diet may also be supplemented with scratch grains and laying pellets. Please read the detailed descriptions to learn more about the hens’ diet and quality of life. If you have specific questions about a product, you can find the Grower’s contact information under the OUR GROWERS tab at the top of each page.
Check out all the Featured Products and use the SEARCH field on the main Market page to quickly find the items you want.
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!

Opening Bell: Chicken, French Marigolds, Coffee, Spinach...
Good afternoon,
Just in time for your home garden: 6-packs of French Marigolds and Red Cherry Tomatoes. Both priced cheaper than Lowe’s and Wal-Mart! Marigolds are great because they attract crucial pollinators, AND they repel pests. I plant them all over! And take a look at the bumper crop of Spinach from Kellogg Valley Farms. Buy some for now, and freeze some for later. Just blanch for 2 minutes, then freeze. Grass Roots Farmers’ Cooperative has listed several chicken and pork items. Check out their new Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts!

Have a great week!

Opening Bell: It's planting time!!!
Good afternoon,
It’s “dirt under the fingernails” time for most of our Growers. Cedar Rock Ridge is a small garden, yet I spent 10 hours yesterday prepping, planting, and picking out rocks. It probably wouldn’t have taken so long if not for the chickens wanting to inspect every shovelful of rich soil as I dug holes. I line each hole with a used coffee filter from Starbucks to protect from cutworms. Oddly enough, I didn’t even see any cutworms at all this year, thanks to the hens!
