Update: I found Mike's phone and his email address michael@greenakeys is now working.
Still has a dead computer- but he's working on that.
We have a new website page/format:
It's at least live with some relevant information on it-- but still needs TLC. I'm still trying to find the field where I can input the farm because the website template we chose says "YOUR FARM NAME HERE". That cracks me up right now. :)
Thanks to all for emailing about chickens and some of you for taking a few less than you had asked for. The good side of all this as that we'll actually feel good as we officially sold out of chickens for the first time ever.
This year we will definitely have 2 items for CSA members that we didn't have before. Raspberries above. Beautifully training on the wires as well.And below.... strawberries...
The strawberries are just starting to come out. They are wonderful -- that's the good news. The ones in my hand needed another day to ripen but I had to pick and try them. The bad news is that they are surrounded by thistle. And I mean surrounded. More pictures another time. Though if I look on the bright side- nothing is eating the strawberries except us humans because all other animals don't want to go into the thistle--- so it's all working out!
Rocky the guard dog never made it to the training farm. He's now a working guard dog who protects the chickens and the rest of the farm. He's definitely a guard dog and he knows his job. The fox are not happy.... we heard them crying/screaming at 1:30am the other night. He-he--- guess they'll have to find a new place to have their den as we just cut off their food source.

Yay, Rocky!
I was going to tell you Pyrs don't need any training. But then thought it was none of my business. ;) I am glad he got to stay and figure it out himself. They are really the mos amazing dogs.
I CANNOT believe you have strawberries already! My friend in Crofton just got strawberries in her CSA! Where are mine, mine are still yellow :(

you are the second person today to tell me the exact same thing. pyrs don't need training.....
I don't mess with my husband on these things as it's his territory-- but it didn't take much to see that he was instantly ready to work-- which is why I didn't want to send him off.....so luck was on my side that we got him right back.
Now I just need him to not think I am his play buddy-- he's just too big to play with. Though he did shake for me today and also put both his paws on my knees.... it was so adorable but then I had to tell him no buddy-- you can't jump on me... he's just a big dog.

Those strawberries look delicious! When do you start your first week of the vegetable CSA? The one we joined starts in mid-June.
we'll start first week of June-- where you are that sounds right. Some CSA's start early but it's because they have high tunnels and whatnot.
I'm pretty old fashioned at this point and go with the weather-- when stuff starts growing = we start week 1. It's looking like a good harvest for week 1 so I'm glad!
