From the Farm
Summer is here. Fireflies light up at night down in our wetland.
We are making hay this week. Lots of grass was growing with all this rain. The cows have abundance of pasture now and it looks like they will have abundance of hay for the winter.
It is weeding and hoeing time in the garden. Consider to have your work out in the garden, give us a call 278-0499 to schedule a time.
Saturday July 4th we will have a farm day for our members. We will do some work from 9-12 am and share a potluck lunch afterward. You are welcome to stay around the farm in the afternoon and join us cooking supper at the campfire at about 5pm.
Please RSVP.

Ursula Holmes' Farm Bread
You have a real treat in store for you with Ursula's Farm Bread. Ursula starts soaking
and fermenting the grain the day before baking, in the traditional manner. This process improves the digestibility of the bread, and gives it a delicious taste and aroma. All of the ingredients are organically grown.
Ursula makes two varieties of sourdough rye bread, leavened with her own sourdough starter. She also makes three varieties of wheat and spelt bread leavened with a yeast sponge, starting with a small amount of baker's yeast. Each bread has its own unique flavor and character.
Ursula bakes her Farm Bread on Thursdays. If you wish to receive an order form,
please email Ursula at cresset@frii.com
For more information and order forms: phone 970-278-0499 or email cresset@frii.com
Ursula's Tips
We planted fennel this year and we're thinning it out so you'll get nice big bulbs
in the share later. So this is what you got last week. These can be chopped
up and used in salads, soups, stir fry.
