Farmer's Market and Joel Salatin Event

Hi All,
We are excited for another farmers market this Saturday, 3/19, in Ashland from 9-11 am. We will be at our regular location on Duncan St. behind the Southern States. This week we will have all kinds of goodies. We are well stocked on beef, and yes, we do have ground beef. If you are coming to get a lot, please let me know and I will make sure to save it for you. We have excellent steaks and roasts as well. We also have boneless leg of lamb for $11 per pound. Most of them are 3-4 pounds. Buy one to keep in your freezer until Easter, or enjoy it now with friends and family. Check out our blog for a great leg of lamb recipe. At the market, along with the beef and lamb, we will be bringing pastured eggs, produce plants (kale, lettuce, broccoli, spinach, etc.) and pansies.
We also want to mention an event coming up that we are participating in. April 2nd, the community garden at Beaverdam Baptist Church is hosting a Sustainable Family Dinner from 2-7pm. There will be workshops, venders, dinner and speakers, including Joel Salatin of Polyface Farm in Swoope, VA. Joel Salatin is an innovative published farmer who can be seen in movies like Food, Inc. and Fresh. We think this will be an exciting and educational evening and wanted to invite everyone. Tickets must be bought ahead of time and can be purchased at Brown Paper Tickets. More info about this event is on Face Book.
The farm is greening up for spring. Please let us know if you would like to come out for a visit.
Thanks for all your support.
