Chicken Like the Good ol’ Days This Friday and Saturday
Stop by the farm and pick up an oven ready chicken this Friday or Saturday, May 17 or 18, 5145 McDonald Ave NE, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The chickens are delicious, tender and nutritious: in addition to pasture and insects, they eat organic, GMO and soy-free grains sourced in Washington from Scratch and Peck Feeds. They are Heritage Whites, a breed well suited for foraging on pasture. They taste like a chicken should. $6/lb. We will also have some oven ready roosters available.

Dance and sing! The vernal equinox is upon us and to celebrate the light we are now launching our spring and summer subscription offerings for the garden and our new whole diet option. Our approach to the upcoming season is to grow the food that folks generally eat in the quantities that folks want. That means that potatoes and tomatoes are at the top of the list on down to the lovely parsnip with lots of onions, lettuce and carrots, among other things, in between. We size and price our subscriptions for two healthy eaters so as you explore the options think about how that translates into a portion of your weekly food budget. We think that you’ll find the cost to...
