Well, it’s been another groundhog week. Same as the week before. No real change in the Iran war, Russian energy assets keep getting struck, and the bond market continues to signal – something.
I am typing this up from a hospital waiting room as Evie is in for a hopefully minor procedure.
The farm is rapidly heading into fall, and this weekend there’s a big Nor’easter battering the coasts, with unknown impacts this far inland.
Next weekend (October 3 and 4) we’re going to be holding two events here at the farm.
First, on Saturday the 3rd starting at 11:00 a.m. will be a chicken processing workshop. We’ve got 25 birds that are ready for the freezer, and so for anybody who wants to learn the process from start to finish and take a bird home with them, the cost is $35, limit of 12 people. We’ve got this down to a science. The weather looks good on Saturday.
The funds offset the cost of raising the birds and provide us with much needed farm revenue that has to reach a yearly minimum in order to file tax returns.
Also, for anybody wishing to simply show up and do some work, we’re renting a firewood processing machine for the weekend, the ‘work’ of which is really driving a tractor with a dump trailer. Kevin or I will be operating the excavator used to load the processor.
Or you can help us pick
