How are you doing? We hope your worries over the corona virus aren't too dire at this point.
We're not panicking but we do think common sense preparation and attention to good nutrition should come to the forefront in times like these. Our wish is for every family to have a good supply of nutrient-dense food on hand - good food that can support and boost immune systems and nourish bodies when they need it most. Isn't there an old saying about one's pantry being a first line of defense...?
To us the spread of the corona virus and the ensuing public reaction drives home the importance of local food systems. When the world becomes a scary place it's pretty essential to know where your nourishment will come from. We'd like to make a case for supporting small businesses and local farms as much as possible right now - it will help keep essential skills and systems alive and close to home.
If you are gathering a food supply we might suggest you stock up on meat and eggs -both store very well and are incredibly nutritious. Root veggies and dry beans are also great items to have on hand.
As of right now, Oneida County Public Market has been canceled for the rest of the winter season and we don't yet know about Poolville Market - we'll keep you posted as we learn more. In the meantime, we will find other ways to feed you!
Starting immediately we are offering weekend deliveries and fresh, open-air shopping at the farm. No lines, no crowds, just two farmers to help you and we both use plenty of soap and warm water when washing our hands. :)
Our freezer inside Parry's Hardware in Hamilton is also freshly stocked with ground meats, hamburger patties, sausages, steaks, and roasts.
As always, all delivered foods will be packed at the farm with thoroughly washed hands - we've always been fussy about that.
Deliveries to Utica, New Hartford, Clinton, Waterville and surrounding area are on 3/14 between 1 and 5 pm.
******************
The farm will be open for pick up on Sunday from 1 to 3pm.
Sunday's weather is looking sunny so we'll do pick up's outside, near the front porch to give the sunshine, fresh air, and breezes every opportunity to work in our favor.
Feel free to send us a call/text 607-423-6098 or email with questions or to place an order.
