Thinking about winter and holiday markets
Posted 12/3/2009 10:19pm by Leslie Cooperband or Wes Jarrell.
The first crisp cold winter moon of the season rose out of the eastern sky this evening. Low on the horizon, it was nearly full (on the wane actually) and bright pale yellow against the black backdrop. We're expecting our first frigid night temperatures tonight--17 is what they are predicting. We pulled the last salsify out of the ground in anticipation of the cold temperatures, and covered a few beets and fall-planted lettuce.
This week, we'll be attending three farmers' markets: Urbana, Green City Market and the 61st Street Market-Experimental Station.
We will be bringing the following cheeses:
Chevre--all three flavors as usual
Angel Food--limited availability
Little Bloom on the Prairie
Roxanne
Kaskaskia
We will continue to go to these markets until December 19th so that we can keep you in cheese right up to the end of the year.
NEWS FLASH: GREAT HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA
For those of you looking for a really special holiday gift, stay tuned for our "Community Supported Goat" (CSG) Initiative. Similar to "Community Supported Agriculture" or "CSA",
CSG offers you an intimate connection to our farm with the benefit of seasonal cheese shipments direct to your doorstep. If you know a goat lover, and even better, one who loves goats and goat cheese, this is the gift for you. We're offering a special connection to one of the does in the herd so you or your gift recipient can keep tabs on her daily life from kidding season through summer and into breeding and late lactation.
So, here's the deal:
We're offering a full "share" for $200 per year.
This full share entitles you to a certificate of support featuring a full color photo of your doe. You will receive quarterly updates of her life on the farm along with four shipments of cheese.
We're also offering a half share for $100 per year that entitles you to the same doe support certificate, periodic updates on her life and two cheese shipments per year.
In addition to the shares, for an additional $15, you can be the proud owner of an organic cotton Community Supported Goat T-Shirt.
We will be offering these shares through our website within the next week--stay posted and stay warm.
