I have a couple of grass fed steers at the processors.  The meat will be ready within two weeks.  If you'd like to order a bundle, now's the time.  And yes, there will be HOT DOGS!  Yah!

Prices for bundles remain at $5/lb. for presale.   Prices will be going up for retail sale to cover costs, so if you are interested in getting some grass fed beef, now's the time. 

10 lb bundle    $50   1/2 ground in 1 lb packages, a roast, and a couple steaks (sirloin)
20 lb bundle    $100 1/2 ground in 1 lb packages, two roasts, and a several steaks (sirloin and strip)
40 lb bundle    $200 1/2 ground in 1 lb packages, four roasts, and a lots 'o steaks (sirloin, strip, and FILET)

Hot dogs can be substituted for any portion of the ground meat for $1.50/lb extra (they cost a lot more to make).

I need to gather the funds to pay the processor and for the steers, so if you are interested, please bring the funds tomorrow or paypal me.  I'll email and invoice if needed for paypal, although you can just go to paypal and send it directly to kkohout@earthlink.net  (that will avoid any fees being deducted on my end).

Also, there will be more options as far as chicken goes.  Stay tuned for details on boneless, ground, sausage, and various cuts.

I'm on my way to stock the fridges for today with eggs and meat.  There will be a fridge for CSA members and one for others.  You can take whatever you need from either fridge.

See you at the Kent Winter Market!

I expect about 10-12 vendors for this first market to include:
Posh Pierogies
Knife Sharpening
Smookies Cookies
KC Coffee
Bonnie's Breads
Summit Croissants
Santee Jams and Jellies
Apples
And several more new and old vendors with several more who will be joining the market in the weeks to come

There will be live violin music by Catherine Kei Fukuda starting around 10.  Bring the kids along to play in the kids nook while you shop, some old books to swap out at the book swap stand, and don't forget your market bag!  Keep your eye out for articles on the KWM in the Courier and Beacon on the market in the days to come.

Also, I've acquired a new supplier of Grass Fed Beef here in Randolph, the Wanchick family.  I have tremendous confidence in the product (humane treatment, no grain, no chemicals) and will have more flexibility as to processing and labelling (we'll see about the hot dogs, too!)  I'll be getting the next steer processed in the next month or so.  Prices for bundles remain $5/lb.  You can preorder as much as you'd like.  Let me know if you are interested when you get a chance.

See you at the Kent Winter Market!

Just a reminder that you can get your eggs and meat at Lucky Penny tomorrow after 12p.

Hope you all had a good Christmas, and I hope to see you all on January 8th at Lucky Penny for the first day of the Kent Winter Market from 9a-12p.

Take Care,

Just a quick note that I'll have fresh turkeys for those that ordered them on Friday at 12p at the Creamery.

If you'd like one, but did not order one, I have a couple extra.  They are $4/lb and are on the smaller side.  Let me know asap if you'd like one.

Thanks,

The yearly Haymaker Winter Market is coming up.  That'll be on 12/11 and 12/18 at the Kratkowski lawfirm parking garage (across the river from the regular market, and across the street from the library).  The address is 11 South River Street.

Thanks,

For those of you who were not able to make the turkey/CSA pick up on Sunday, I'll be having an additional drop off on Tuesday from 5-5:30p at the market parking lot.  If you need anything, let me know and I'll have it for you then.  This will be the last November pick up. 

I have some exciting news... I've teamed up with Lucky Penny Creamery and I'll have retail space there starting in the next two weeks.  For those that are not familiar, Lucky Penny Creamery makes goat milk cheeses and other products and has opened a creamery and retail space on Temple Avenue off of Lake Street in Kent.  http://luckypennyfarm.com/

You will be able to pick up your CSA and additional items there starting in December (details to follow soon).  Abbe Turner (Lucky Penny farmer/owner) and I are also working together to start a winter farmers market at the Creamery to run while Haymaker is not in session.  The plans are to have that started in January.  We be reaching out to all the vendors and the community about our winter market at the Haymaker Winter Market that runs Dec. 11 and 18th.  

Exciting stuff.  That's it for now. 

Take Care,

Katrina]]>Mon, 22 Nov 2010 07:22:56 -0600<![CDATA[next CSA pick up]]>
The next CSA pick up will be this Sunday (11/21) at the market parking lot from 1p-2p. 

The turkeys for those that have one reserved will be there.   They are being butchered tomorrow and will be super fresh.  This will enable you to age and/or brine your bird for a couple days for the yummiest turkey around.   Here's a link to a brine recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html

Also, there will be fresh whole chicken, frozen duck, eggs, hams if you ordered one, and pumpkin puree for pies, as well as lard for pies.

If you haven't paid for November yet, please do so Sunday via cash, check, or paypal.

That's about it.

I sure am thankful for a lot this year, and you all are on that list.

Thanks and take care,

Katrina
