Farm News
Our big news is that the renovation of our farm stand is complete. OK, it’s awesome! From the 1920′s enamel cook stove snugged into a corner, to the bead-boarding and rustic wood floors – it is a fresh and inviting place to purchase your food and sundry essentials. This honor stand is the corner stone to our vision for Rolling Bay Farm. A wonderful place to leisurely come, purchase the freshest foods and handcrafted items while being surrounded by the farm. We’ll be slowly ramping up our offerings over the next few months. Available over the course of this month: eggs (always available!), handmade Soap Butter in lavender, sage lavender, bamboo, cucumber mango and a few other fragrances, and organic produce from Sol Farm – a CSA run by Kevin Block just down the end of our street.
Over the course of the summer we hope to expand our offerings to pork by the pound, more varieties of produce, Rolling Bay Farm logo wear (ya gotta look snappy!), fruits from our small orchard, jellies and jams, Finnsheep fleece and home baked goods.
April Happenings
All lambs have made their way into this world and are thriving out in our lush pasture. We are all addicted to them and our daily lamb snuggle time! Lucky about half of them are sold to either “fiber families” or as breeding stock and I hope to find the rest of them qualities farms to live on. I would happily fore go lamb chops this year. Lastly, in sheep news, I’ll be getting back my processed fiber from our very first shearing. I can hardly wait to get it hand-spun and then knitted up into a garment that I will definitely wear with pride!
Mark has most of the garden spot prepped and has planted 3 kinds of potatoes, onions, carrots and beets. He grows lovely beets! More plantings to follow as the weather continues to warm.
May Fresh pork will be available by the pound! Starting around May 7th June Sheep shearing this month. Date to follow and viewers and fleece worshippers (I meaning buyers) welcome. New piggies should be arriving this month, too July Let’s see what the garden grows Heritage turkey poults arrive
I can’t tell you how much this city girl loves hearing from you. Hopefully sometime in the future I will be relocating from Las Vegas to Lakewood WA. I will come visit
I so love getting these updates from your farm! Until we’re able to get a little farm of our own, I’m living vicariously through lovely blogs like yours
