Organic pastured chicken from Little Eorthe!

Beginning Sunday, September 11 through Tuesday, September 13, come out to Little Eorthe Farm to pick up your fresh (never frozen!) organic chickens!  They cost $5 a pound, and this will likely be the last batch of chickens for the year, so don’t miss it!

Come by our booth at the Proctor Farmer’s Market on Saturday, September 10 or call 253-576-8950 to reserve your birds.

Please note – farm pickup only… sorry, but we can’t bring them to the farmer’s market or deliver.  You’ll need to make your way to our farm in Orting to pick them up.  Thanks!

Little Eorthe Farm is about more than preserving farmland.  It’s about more than providing fresh, organic, locally grown produce to the residents of Western Pierce County.  It’s about more than passing on knowledge and philosophy to the next generation.  Little Eorthe Farm is about all of these things, but more than anything, Little Eorthe Farm is about revolutionizing the food system in this country – replacing our current petroleum-based, transportation-heavy, inorganic, inhumane (and let’s face it – short sighted, cruel, greedy and idiotic) factory farm system with all local, all organic, all humane farming procedures and practices.

The implications of a truly sustainable food system are universal, and they include a decrease in dependence on fossil fuels, foreign and domestic, a decrease in corporate control and a commensurate increase in the power of individual citizens, less pollution, a healthier environment, the list goes on and on.

Sound good?  Get involved!

It’s March, the weather is wild–coming in with both lions and lambs, literally, and things are getting a bit busy around the farm.  The newly completed greenhouse is sprouting with all kinds of starts for the new season.  We’re expecting chicks, turkeys, alpacas, piglets, and yes lambs, not necessarily in any order,  oh my!

Big thanks to our returning subscribers to the Little Eorthe Farm CSA!  We’re hoping to hear from the rest of you soon!  We could sure use your help!  If you haven’t sent your sign-up sheet back yet, please do so by April 1st.  There will only be 30 shares offered this year so if you know anyone else who’d be interested in signing up, please let us know.  They’re going fast!

And lastly, if you haven’t been reminded lately, we’re hosting our first big event of the season on Saturday, March 19!  Join us for the 2nd Annual Kite Flying Festival spectacular!  We’ll be sharing a potluck meal and sampling some new beers of the season!  Join us anytime after 1pm!

Hope to see you all soon!

Your friends at Little Eorthe Farm

Join us in celebrating the elements starting with air on this spring equinox! Yes, we’ll have a kite contest (with prizes) for wildest & highest kites!

As this November closes, I looked back at the last missive and had to laugh at the prediction of snow.  Oh wow!  Last week was a fluke, hopefully!!!  We are eternally grateful for this growing season no matter how strange and curious and for you all, our brave new shareholders.  What a year, eh?  We lost many things in the snow and 8 degree weather last week like the broccoli, cauliflower, fennel bulb and all the winter squash that was covered with blankets in the tractor shed.  We still have brussel sprouts, kale and carrots for any of you if you would like to partake.

We would like to know how you liked the produce, what we could improve on, your thoughts are so welcome!  It would also be good to hear from you if you can join us again next year.  We’re already making plans and are plotting and planning, literally.

And lastly, in tradition of celebration, we’d like to invite you to our last wingding of the year.  On Tuesday, December 21st, we’ll be celebrating the return of the light with a huge bonfire and potluck.  It will not rain (fingers crossed) and we all gotta eat, so potuck is in order.  It’s a full moon, too, and we have a lot of birthdays to celebrate this month including our dear friend, Valerie Foster, whom we hope will join us on that day, her day.  Fire is the fitting element to celebrate this season.  So, let the sparks fly and see what happens!

Thanks again for being apart of our maiden voyage.  The best is yet to come.

Just a reminder, we’re having our end of the season celebration on Sunday, November 7th from 2pm till ???  Bring the family, a potluck dish and we’ll toast what’s been an amazing year.  If you need directions or have questions, please let us know.

See you soon!
