Harvest From: pastures1051@gmail.com To: Silly me....somehow I sent an old email along with the new - working from a new computer this week.  If the last email seemed a little redundant - this may solve the problem....This week's email follows... Hello to all from The Pastures of Rose Creek! Hope this week finds everyone well! We have a lot going on at the farm this week from saving your lovely veggies from our ever-growing and demanding free range chickens (who having done their job at pest control around the garden area, now find that they desire the pretty green leaves growing in the garden - have no fear though! Damage has been minimal and the chickens are happy in their new location) to working our lovely cows and sacrificing another to our local abbatior. T-Bone, although you will be missed - I am sure you will also be tastey! And now...

Come get this fine fresh food and spicy stuff from my favorite folks at the Farmers Market Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2012 18:03:01 -0400 Subject: Pastures of Rose Creek: This Week's Harvest Hello to all from The Pastures of Rose Creek! Do you or someone you love have a...how do I put this delicately?...have a...chile pepper addiction?  You know the signs - hiding bottles of Sriracha in their purse or car because they can't bear the thought of having even one meal without it....topping every meal with some form of fiery hotness while you sit helplessly by, watching their eyes bulge and beads of sweat form on their forehead as they continue their quest for the hottest pepper?  Well, we may be able to help...this week we supply not the cure - but the fix...The Thai Dragon Pepper.  Just stop on by our market table - code word: Bangkok Heat Wave - we'll know what you mean.   And for those of us who are a l...

The weeks for the Farmers Market are starting to dwindle down..... Sincerely,  Dan Matthews Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 16:56:39 -0400 Subject: Pastures of Rose Creek: This Week's Harvest From: pastures1051@gmail.com Hello again from The Pastures of Rose Creek! They're coming!!!  They're coming!!! FARM FRESH EGGS are just around the corner!  Just yesterday Ann discovered the first official egg from our batch of chickens.  We have raised these chickens since they were wee little chicks (March 2012) and they have now reached maturity and are ready to lay their first eggs.  These chickens are happy, free-ranging chickens who spend their days doing what chickens do best - eating bugs and grasses and fertilizing our fields!  And now they will be laying happy, healthy eggs...1 chicken will lay approximately 1 egg every 23 hours!  So, keep an eye out for our market table - you should be seeing FARM FRESH EGGS in about 2 weeks....

I have to give props to these folks who have helped made the Farmers Market a magical place this year.
