Welcome Riley!

Hey ya'll! I'm a grandma for the first time! My daughter, Autumn, gave birth to Riley May on Tuesday, August 12th at 8:14PM. She weighed 5lbs 11oz, and is as precious as can be! See my sister's photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/captivated/sets/72157606714250845/

In other news, Slow Food Boone will be having a potluck at my farm on September 28th. (date not set in stone yet). Please stop on by and have some farm fresh pork, as well as other locally grown dishes! I'll relay details closer to the time.

We're in full harvest swing, so do make sure to come by the Lansing and Ashe County Farmers' Markets to buy all the tomatoes you can can!

Market list 6-28-08

Howdy folks,

This week I would like to encourage and remind all of my customers that the summer produce is coming soon, and I think that all of us need to be preserving, drying, or freezing our extras. Food prices are going to go up, and I hope that your food from the farm will be preserved for your winter diet.

This week at the market there will be fresh pork and chicken from the Hershner farm. I'll have eggs, mustard greens, radishes, onions, turnip greens, lettuce, and a few shiitake mushrooms. Also, fresh basil, dill, oregano, and marjoram.

Please come early, bring a cooler and small bills. I will be processing lamb in August and September.

Baby pigs are here! I have 8 remaining, mostly males. Please email me to get these babies for your farm! ann [at] rosemountainfarm [dot] com

Thank you all for being my customers!

Ann
