This week we welcome Terrace Micro Farms to the Market. Bob and Kelli Hurd describe themselves as “two young people who raise chickens right outside of the Zebulon city limits.” They have about 250 chickens in their flock. The fowl have a nice home where they have full access to grass all day and a safe coop to sleep in at night. The types of chickens at Terrace Micro Farms include Marans, Buff Orpingtons, Araucanas, and White Rocks. Currently they have a variety of medium and large sized brown and green/blue eggs for sale to the community.
Warm weather, indeed Springlike weather, is forecast for this week. Are you enjoying the mild winter we are having? A lack of cold weather is not necessarily good news to Georgia’s farmers. If you are interested in learning more, here is a link to an article by Clint Thompson of the University of Georgia, published by AGFAX: https://agfax.com/2017/02/09/georgia-warm-winter-temps-spark-fears-of-potential-plant-diseases/
Is this warm weather making you anxious to start planting a summer garden? In the same article cited above, UGA Agricultural Climatologist Pam Knox provides this caution: "One thing we do know from this kind of weather pattern is that the chance of a late frost goes up since the atmosphere often swings more wildly than usual between cold and warm episodes. So don’t get too anxious to start planting if we have a warm spell because a cold wave could be just down the pike.”
To everything, there is a season. I am looking forward to the REAL spring! Until then, thank you for your support of locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally.
We’ll see you at the Market!
Thanks,
Beverly

FARM NEWS OF THE WEEK
Flying S Farm has added Delicious Bran Muffins to our baked goods selections.
From Amy Rae of Solace Farm:
Homemade pasta is back! I’ve listed some of the classic Fettuccine, and I’ve added Elbow macaroni. Tri-color elbow and fettuccine – with kale and pumpkin – are coming soon! All my pasta is made with half whole wheat flour, half white flour, and our own duck eggs – the colored pastas have our own Solace Farm kale or winter squashes, dried and powdered. If you haven’t had homemade egg pasta, you really should treat yourself – it’s a different thing altogether than the store-bought flour-and-water stuff.
Also, we are still clearing our freezers for the next installment of grass-fed Scottish Highland beef, coming this next week, so this week we are having a special on cubed steaks, $2 off each package. The classic recipe for these tenderized cuts is chicken-fried steak, but they’re also great for Swiss steak, cheese steak sandwiches, and a number of recipes for braising or crockpot cooking.

Debbie Wittig of Knottynuffacres is back from her trip and has turned her market products back on. Welcome back, Debbie!</p
Linda from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this message:
With really warm weather (is it really still mid-February?) moving in this week, the daffodils may not last much longer. Normally they bloom for three weeks, but this year, we may only get two. If you’d like a bouquet, I suggest you order it this week.
Wayne Diller has added several dozen pullet eggs to the market.
From Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles Baked Goods:
Everyone seems to be in the mood for a nice refreshing bite of spring so I have added my Fresh Strawberry Pie and my Ultimate Strawberry Cake to the market. My kitchen was busy this past week as I filled over a dozen orders of these highly popular scrumptious deserts. As if the pictures aren’t mouth watering enough you just wait till you get a bite of one of these. Delicious!
