Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring

It's a girl!  This week brought the birth of the first baby lamb on our farm. We are awaiting our other ewe to also give birth, likely to twins.  Baby animals on the farm signal the start of another season.  It is time to stop talking about how cold it is and get ready for Spring.

This Winter continues to test the animals and the farmers at Browder's Birds.  Snow, melt, ice, repeat.  It all makes for very challenging farm work and a lot of ingenuity.  Frozen coop doors won't latch on a freezing cold night? Or worse, break off at the hinges. We can't say enough good things about the bungee cord. 

 

We take comfort in good food, a stash of frozen chicken, and fresh vegetables still available at the  Riverhead Farmers Market from Sang Lee Farms.  This week called for our favorite Fried Chicken as well as Savory Vegetable Pancakes with Poached Eggs, courtesy of Edible Feast. 

 

This weekend we introduce a new seasonal quiche made with Ty Llywd Farm  purple potatoes and leeks.  Ultimate comfort!!
