They just keep comin'!

It's been a busy start to Summer on the Farm.  Not only have we been dodging rain drops as we try to keep up with field maintenance and orchard upkeep, but we've been running like mad to keep up with our momma pigs.  Last week, yet another litter of adorable piglets was born at Miller's.  Your faithful blogger failed to bring her camera with her during morning chores this past week, but pictures of the latest cuteness will be forthcoming soon.

In other news:
  • Our Layers have been enjoying the milder weather and have been laying some fabulous rich-yellow-yolked eggs. Our farm market customers have been enjoying Summer's bounty, as have we!  Stop by the farm market for a dozen or two. 
  • Our pastured pork by the cut has become quite a popular item in the farm market.  Stop by for some of our own Miller's pasture-raised pork chops, sausage, bacon and spare ribs!
  • Our summer farm market hours are Thurs & Fri 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sat 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  We've got Apple, Pumpkin, Blueberry, and Strawberry Rhubarb pies available.  If you know you'll be stopping by--give us a call at 570-587-3399 to order ahead.  This ensures that you get the pie you want!
  • The 3rd Annual Buy Fresh Buy Local dinner will be held at our Farm on Saturday July 23rd at 5 p.m.  The dinner will showcase locally-grown produce and meats (including pasture-raised meat from Miller's and our own Apple pie!) and family entertainment.  The evening kicks off with a tour of our Farm at 5 p.m. followed by dinner at 6:30.  Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for children. Tickets can be purchased by calling 570-941-7588.  Don't miss the fun!
Very soon, Your Farmers blog will be visited by a guest blogger or two with information on apple-wood (available for purchase at the Farm for your summer smoking needs), pasture-raised meat recipes, and more!

Excited for a weather forecast with five straight dry days, I remain,
Delana (for Your Farmers @ Miller's)
