10 pack Ground Beef is Back & Fresh Herbs and Produce

Clover Creek Cheese Cellar is again offering their 10 pound of Ground Beef again. Comes in 10 individually wrapped 1 pound packages. Great for stocking your freezer.

Farm Fresh Free Range Brown Eggs available from Rispoli’s Produce.

Spring is finally feeling like it may be here to stay (despite a few cold nights.) With it comes some of our first fresh herbs and produce. Right now Green"er" Acres Farm has the first of their spring green onions,fresh chives, thyme and rosemary, and fresh spinach.

The rhubarb is just starting to come up and asparagus should be starting before too long.

Update from the Farms

Clover Creek Cheese Cellar is currently out of stock of Honduran Harvest. They are expecting their peppers this week, and will hopefully have the Honduran Harvest back the beginning of April.

Spinach is unavailable this week, but will be back soon. With the beginning of the season, it is a little slow in growth,but will pick up soon. We do have a large quantity of fresh rosemary. Check out the latest recipe added to our Recipes section for Rosemary Roasted Potatoes.

Our farm and several of our partner growers are currently starting our plants for this growing season. Green"er" Acres Farm has already started over 150 tomato plants (and will soon be starting 50 more), 120 sweet pepper and 28 hot pepper plants, as well as eggplant,okra, spinach and lettuce.

Spring is definitely in the air and we are prepping our growing areas. Produce will soon be abundant.

New Products & Change in Milk Price

Spring is finally here (even though there is still some snow on ground here at the farm.) It is time to start thinking of fresh produce and locally grown products.

We greatly appreciate our current customers but would like your help in getting the word out to your friends, neighbors and relatives.

Spring means we will be soon having early produce such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb,fresh herbs and much more. Check out our market each week to see what is new.

This week we will have fresh rosemary again and will have a small amount of young spinach (both grown in our high tunnels)

Green"er" Acres Farm has also added a few new items to the Bath & Body and Cleaning Products Categories: Homemade Laundry Detergent, Dishwasher Detergent, Room Sprays, Body Sprays, and Bath Blends.

Due to cost of production, Clover Creek Cheese Cellar is increasing the price of their half gallons by $0.50.

Clover Creek Cheese Cellar writes the following:

Thank you to all of our milk customers who have supported our local family farm in purchasing our raw milk. We are not changing the price of our raw milk
gallons.

However, we’ve come to realize over the past year that we were not covering our costs when we sold half gallons. We have to pay the same price per jug for gallon or half gallon jugs. Half gallons also take a longer time to fill when we are jugging.

We are increasing the price on our half-gallons to allow us to continue selling them and to cover the extra costs.

Thanks!

Anthony

And don’t forget to add somefree-range brown eggs from Rispoli’s Produce.

Raw Milk is BACK!!

We also continue to carry free-range brown eggs, thanks to Rispoli’s Produce, and our own raw honey.
New this week, fresh Rosemary. Over-winterered in our high tunnel, it has an amazing piney fragrance. Pairs well with all types of meat or baked in your favorite bread.

March is National Nutrition Month

Happy Nutrition Month

March is National Nutrition Month. A month that the National Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics has set aside to educate Americans about healthy eating and healthy living. You can find the fact sheet “17 Health Tips for 2017” at their website http://www.eatright.org/resources/national-nutrition-month

We at Green"er" Acres Farm and our partner growers feel that the best and easiest way to eat healthy is to buy and use as much of our groceries as possible from local, trustworthy growers.

Although it is still cold out there and produce is not in abundance in our area at this time of year, there are still healthy dietary options available locally.

In our marketplace, we currently have grassfed beef, home-raised pork, free-range brown eggs, local raw honey, dried herbs and more. Produce will be added as it becomes available, so check back often.

Last Minute Addition -- EGGS!!

Just Added — EGGS!!

We just added a new grower and new product.

Welcome Deb & Ralph Rispoli of Rispoli’s Produce.

We have been marketing with Deb & Ralph for many years and found them to be great mentors and remarkable farmers.

Try some of their farm fresh, free- range eggs.

Last Week to Stock Up on Beef!!

Last Week to Stock Up on Beef!!

This is your LAST WEEK to stock up on the great 10 lb package of Clover Creek Cheese Cellar’s Grassfed Beef for $62.15. (You will still be able to purchase the beef in single units until it is gone)

Raw milk will be returning hopefully sometime in Mid to Late March.

Limited amount of Pork Products still available.

Hand gathered, RAW HONEY, available. Get it before it is all gone. Not heated or diluted, simply crushed and stained. Studies show that local, raw honey helps with seasonal allergies.

Last Minute Addition -- HONEY!!

HONEY!!!

When we checked our bee hive yesterday,we found that, unfortunately, our bees did not make it through the winter. We are quite sad for this loss, but that also means that we can now freely harvest the remaining honey within the hive.

We are currently gathering and using the “crush and strain” technique to hand harvest our honey. It is unprocessed, raw honey direct from the hive.

Proceeds from the sale of the honey will go toward purchasing a new “nuc” of bees to install into our hive in April.

Purchasing our honey shows a commitment to helping the bee populations and aids in valuable pollination of our crops.

Quantities will fluctuate as we continue to strain and jar up the honey, so if it appears unavailable, it may have sold out. Check back often.
