Happy March 2025!

Good afternoon my fellow locavores! March is here, the clocks have “sprung” forward and the grasses and flowers are “springing up” little by little on the farm as the new lambs (25 total!) are bouncing up and down.

Now, can we talk about eggs? I don’t know what is going on out there but I have heard that eggs are in high demand. Yet, here on the farm we are overstocked! (We actually had to sell some of our egg laying hens because of overproduction). And, there is something about pricing?!?… oh, don’t get me started on that!! We are one of the only countries willing to barter price for nutrition – we can’t change Americans but, as you know, we started Green Family Farms to overcome that problem- at least in our own backyard. We grow our products above grocery store standard and price them with a mere 6-10% mark-up to our customers. You can’t beat that! Why do we do that? Well, that would take a lot more words and I am told I write way more than people want to read these days. So, do you have a few minutes to talk instead? If so, come on by and join me in the farm lounge – I would be more than happy to give you the whole run down.

Now, back to eggs and a big shout out to our new Olive Egger hens! They started laying sometime in January just weeks after we started panicking about not having enough eggs for breakfast- whew! And, now we are collecting more than usual for this time of the year which brings us to our St Patrick’s Day sale! It is fitting, since we are “green” after all! So, from now until St. Pat’s day (3/17) all green eggs at our farm store will be 1/2 off per dozen (while supplies last)- get em now, they won’t last long.

In other news, have you heard about FLAG yet? If not, check your periodicals as journalists are contacting us for articles about our new grass roots not-for-profit organization starting up right here on Green Family Farms! We have also earned badges as the most talked about topic on fb. The way food is grown in America is constantly changing and we need farmers more than ever! Let’s all come together and combat the ever growing sustainable food crises. Sign up for FLAG today. Want more answers? Come to our open house event 3/20-3/22/25 on the farm to learn more.

Take care!
Sandra
