Harvest Time

Off to Market 

The cattle are off to market. Now is maybe a good time to become a conscious carnivore if you aren't already. Thank you to all our customers who pre-booked sides and quarters this year, we hope you enjoy our first year of Hillcrest Farms beef. To those who would like some beef but a quarter is to much for you we are doing freezer sales right now. So give me a call and book a time. I would also love fed back for ideas on the easiest way for you (the customer) to shop freezer sales. Would you like a day you could just drop by once a week? Or does appointment work better for you? We also have freezer sales pork for sale from our pigs we raised. We are getting more meat birds and hope to have those for you in the new year, 2013 is just around the corner!

I have to say I'm more than a little proud of the basil Noah started this spring and I planted. It just kept giving and I just kept topping, it made it's way to the Saturday Market a few times this summer and hopefully I'll have more for you next year. Thank you to my sister boys for helping us get our last load to market, we'll make you the leaders of the child labour work force anytime. 

the house smelled wonderful that day 

We had a local food harvest Thanksgiving get together with friends, the food was amazing. The topic of the evening was chicken poo, I'd leave breastfeed come and back and still chicken poo talk. That's what happens when you get a lot of food growers together, oh the glories of chicken poo.
