Good Health to you! With October comes cooler temperatures - and work!!! Slowly shutting down the farm and preparing for winter entails many things for us. Mucking out the goat barn, breeding goats for next spring, making sure there is enough hay put up for the winter, preparing the garden beds for next spring, expanding the barn and starting lettuce inside for our own winter crop, grown under lights in the basement, are just some of the chores we must attend to. In addition, we still have 9 or 10 craft shows ahead, spread out over 8 weekends! The list of craft shows that remain can be found here: http://www.weber-farms.com/2008_shows.php The garden beds are being shut down this month, and the hens are slowing down on egg production as the amount of daylight dwindles more each day. The trees are changing color and it is really a beautiful time of year. I love the mist and fog rising off of the ground in the morning and hanging on the trees. Soon we'll have the wood burning stove going and will be sipping tea made from the dried mint in the spice bed. We still have eggs and honey for sale, along with all of our value-added products ( soaps, lotions and more wonderful items made from the beeswax, honey, goat milk and herbs). We hope your fall is prosperous and full of life! P & M Weber Weber Farms
