Good News/Bad News
Hello Friends,
How do you survive the heat?? Stay inside, (not likely around here), or use a cold neck wrap. When Ben was in Little Rock a few weekends ago, we bought some of this type of neck wrap. It soaks up water, cool water, stays plump and cool for a long while. There is also a shammy-type cloth that is a cross between rubber and velvet! When it is soaked in cold water it is a heavenly relief and can be worn on your head or around your neck. The brand is Frogg Toggs. We keep the neck wraps in the fridge and use them when we remember to! Andy is building fence today and I do believe he forgot his.
Now for the Good News/Bad News: The Good News: Delicious, grassfed and aged steaks, roasts, kabobs, and beef breakfast sausage are on the way! I will pick up our harvest from the processor on Monday, July 27th.
The Bad News: We are pretty much out of delicious, pastured pork and grassfed lamb! Due to this, I will not be coming to the markets this week or next ( July 15-25 )
Lord willing, we will be returning to market on TUESDAY, July 28th in Texarkana. Wednesday, July 29th in DeQueen, and Thursday, July 30th in Mena. I will be coming to Texarkana twice a week, Tuesdays and Saturdays.
We added the new items to our product pricing page on our website. Check it out and let me know if I can bring you a special order!
I research a lot of information on the internet. Some of my information comes by way of other farmers doing what we do. One such farm is Rockin H. We have a lot in common. In reading their newsletter this week, I learned of a website called Pesticide Action Network North America. PANNA is an organization that promotes the elimination of hazardous pesticides. They have an amazing and detailed site that lists and documents uses and amounts of pesticides in many fruits and vegetables we consume without question. Check it out at http://www.whatsonmyfood.org
I do hope you have a blessed and productive week! See you at the end of July!!
Tracy
