Rainy, cold, dreary market day

Ok, so we discovered that you really need rain boots and a rain coat for days like yesterday.  The weather was drizzly and windy, not exactly the kind of weather I normally choose to be out in.  Zach & I loaded the van and headed to the farmer's market.  It appeared that our tent didn't want to be outside either.  With several vendor's help, we finally got the tent so it would not break with the wind.  After braving it for an hour, I called it quits.  My socks were totally wet and discolored and people were not coming to our booth.  I don't blame them.  They were on a mission to get their veggies/baked goods and leave. =)  Zach & I loaded back up and headed home.  We did enjoy the camaraderie with the other vendors and market employees though.  They are great people to work with!

The moral of this story, learn from the pros.  Observe the other vendors and do what they do.  They know; they have "weathered the storm".

A chilly, rainy day for the market

Today is market day with rain.  We won't be serving ice cream in this chilly weather.  Instead, we will be serving hot coffee made from the locally roasted coffee beans we sell.  Today's brew is Costa Rican decaf.  Stop by for a hot cup of Joe as you browse the market.

If you have a specific order of meat you want, call before 12:30 pm and we'll make sure to have your order available.  Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Farmer's Market

Today we won't be at farmer's market in West Lafayette.  We are snowed under with baling hay and moving animals to another farm.  Thank you for your continued support of our products!  We aim to serve our customers and to provide quality products and service.  Look for us next week, Lord willing, at our booth, Double M Farms.  May you enjoy a blessed day in this beautiful fall weather!

Market Day

Yesterday was farmer's market.  We sold pumpkin ice cream.  The day was a lot slower with the rain and with coming to the end of the season. 

Before we went to market, we picked up a new batch of chicks.  There are now a shy 200 peeping in the barn, growing for fresh winter meat.  It's time to pull out those good ole' chicken noodle soup recipes, made even better by fresh, free-range chicken.  Nothing tastes more delicious on a cold snowy day than some hot soup.  It's a comfort food.  It has also been learned that chicken noodle soup is beneficial for you when you're feeling under the weather.  Hmmmm, makes me hungry for some just writing about it.

Bull calf

Daisy had her baby, finally.  She seemed ready to calve for a while.  The last month I kept thinking, "Surely it will be born today."  Here are some pictures of the cute little guy.

Daisy gving him his bath

The little fellow is skittish.  He hid behind his momma when I would try to take a picture.  His colorings are beautiful like Daisy, a pretty cream and brown.

The cows are at another site than our home place.  When we go to do the chores, we drive slowly up the lane with the window down calling, "Heeere Bossy!"  Our little toddler has picked up on that and calls for them too.  It is a delight to watch her learn and grow at a rapid speed.

Doesn't she look ornery!  She has her big brothers wrapped around her little finger.
