Greetings From Hidden Springs Farms
3/2/2010 8:59pm by Karen Wortman
Greeting from Hidden Springs Farms,
We are another month closer to SPRING! Or should I say, "hopefully" we are closer to spring. It has been a long winter this year in Middle Tennessee and we even had some light snow showers today. We are pretty confident that Spring is coming. We've seen some spring flowers starting to work their way through the soil. We've been busy in the garden area on those rare pleasant days. This past weekend, the greenhouse got a new cover and we set up 3 cold frames. Now there is cabbage, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower seeds planted in the cold frames. The greenhouse is filled with a wide variety of tiny little pots filled with seeds waiting to sprout. We keep everything covered up and warm during the cold nights.
We tend to stay in the house a bit more when the weather is especially cold. But we aren't just sitting around. This week, we tried our hand at making GOAT'S MILK Soap and home-made Cheddar Cheese. The Cheese (pictured above) was also made with some our Gwendolyn's goat's milk. The cheese had to age for 4-12 weeks so we'll have to let you know how it taste.
I have a special deal for the first 10 people that reply to this newsletter. I will send you a bar of our Goat's Milk Soap FREE!! All I ask is that you try it and then complete a short survey for us that I will include. We really want your feedback and input before we add our soap to our product line-up. So, the first 10 people that send me an email that includes their mailing address, will get a bar of our soap once it has finished curing. (It will be ready in about 2 weeks)
Our CSA sign-ups are still underway. If you are interested, click here to sign-up. And, feel free to pass the information on to your friends and family. We are giving a discount through the end of March for those that sign-up and pay in full. We will be starting our CSA Member Newsletter very soon.
And, finally, we have several weekend classes this month. All of the details are on our website. Children attend for FREE.
March 6th Planning Your Vegetable Garden 10:00 - Noon ($15.00)
March 13th Tool School 101 9:00 - 11:00 (Free class for the ladies!)
March 20th Cluck, Cluck, Cluck Chicken Workshop 1:00 - 5:00 pm ($35.00)
March 27th Raising Goats Workshop 1:00 - 5:00 pm ($35.00)
We will have pictures of baby goats in our next newsletter. The girls are getting very close to delivery time. Spring is a wonderful time at Hidden Springs Farms!
Until next time.....stay warm!
