Farm News of the Week

From Amy Rae of Solace Farm:
We have restocked our Scottish Highland grassfed beef, and have added both a few new cuts like NY Strip and Filet Mignon, and more of the classics such as stew meat (first to sell out), ground, and chuck roasts.

I have also added a loose tea blend – made from our own fig leaves and wildcrafted sumac berries, it is a caffeine-free stand-in for a lemon green tea. I love this with just a touch of honey!

We have a new item in the soap line-up – laundry soap! I’ve been using this myself for years now, and decided to make it available here as well. It is made from my own soap, with just a few additional ingredients, and we love how simple it is! I’ve also listed a lavender pumice scrub for the kitchen and bathroom, again with my own soap, and pumice powder. If you like the Mrs. Meyers surface scrub (like I do) this is for you!

Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse writes:
This crazy weather has finished off the daffodils, sadly, but that just means that the greenhouses at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are coming alive, with the early spring things beginning to bloom. Your garden will delight in the addition of some color to welcome spring very early each year. And can the herbs be far behind? We also have some really nice hanging baskets available, which will need to stay indoors till end of April. Watch the “Live Plants” category, as new plants will be made available each week. Since these are listings from previous years being made available again for this season, they will not show up in “What’s New” at the top of the page.
