Sometime between the 1,100 pies we baked during Thanksgiving week and the rush of the Christmas holidays, Your Farmers @ Miller's got a little tuckered out. So beginning Christmas Day we took 10 days off from our beloved customers and spent some much-needed time relaxing with family, eating some yummy Miller's homemade goodies and reading good books. (Now you may be thinking, we are a family business after all, so do we really spend time with each other during the holidays?!?!? Oh yes, indeed! In fact, we get to enjoy each other simply as family for a few days, and not as business partners. Imagine that!)
By the second week of January things were back in full swing. Your faithful blogger set out on a few adventures of her own and was somewhat less than faithful in keeping you in the loop! But I'm back in the blogging saddle and will be posting family, farm and global updates for you frequently for the rest of the year.
To begin with, we've added to the farm family since last I wrote--we've got a handful of piglets who were born during the winter interlude. They're adorable as always! Our teenage and adult hogs were moved out to new pasture today from their winter shelter, and they looked ecstatic!
As for global updates, here's an interesting article from last week's edition of the New York Times about the next generation of farming. Your Farmers @ Miller's proudly count ourselves among those farmers committed to producing nutrient-dense, ecologically-sound, locally-focused food. If you're like the average Northeast PA resident, you've got "your" coffee shop, "your" dry cleaner, "your" accountant, "your" hairstylist, or maybe even "your" day care. Why not get to know us @ Miller's Orchards as Your Farmers for 2011? Hope to see you back here soon!
Delana for Your Farmers @ Miller's
