Your Market is Open


This post expired on October 26, 2022.

Good day to each of you!

Today, October 26th, is the deadline for Turkey orders with Mother Earth Meats. Please email them to me at freshmilk@ranchoalegrefarm.com. If you also want other meats, but don’t know exactly what you want quite yet, you have another week to decide. Please have your Mother Earth Meats orders in by Friday, November 2nd!

News from Rancho Alegre Farm:

Fanny, bright eyed and very personable arrived at the Farm last Saturday from her previous home in McDonough. Although the “ladies” were a little skeptical at first, she has integrated into our “herd” quite nicely and it is not unusual to see Fanny and Jacinta quietly munching grass together. I guess they recognize that they are kindred spirits since they are both getting ready to “calf” and become new Moms! Fanny is due Saturday, November 4th, but who knows what Mother Nature has in mind! Jacinta has another month and a half to be a lady of leisure before she will be teaching her “little” one the ins and outs of cow life.

Milk production is still low due to the impending calvings and this has created a challenge for us in the delivery of milk to Pre-Paid Customers. I would like to thank those of you who have graciously moved your pickup to another day these last 2 weeks. I have done my best to coordinate those who have Market orders to still pickup on Tuesdays. I anticipate that this situation will resolve itself in 2 more weeks and ask your patience and cooperation. If you pickup on Wednesday or Thursday, the location for pickup is right around the corner from the Farm. Staff isn’t available on Wednesday or Thursday at the Farm so pickup will be at my home. If you have been asked to pickup on an alternate day, you will be given directions and instructions. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience; however, this seemed to be the best solution instead of delaying all milk pickups until Friday which was definitely not well-received. Watch FaceBook for updates on Fanny and her activities this week! Hopefully we will have a “baby” Fanny to show off soon!

Green Pasture: Order was placed last week and yesterday I received an email saying that one product we had ordered was “back-ordered” and would be available within 4 days. They are holding the order until the product is available. I will post an update in the Market at pickup on Tuesday as well as email all those who have ordered.

The Wild Salmon Company: I spoke with Heidi yesterday and she is setting up our “Buying Club” to place orders on the site today or tomorrow. Anyone who has expressed an interest will receive an email detailing the ordering, delivery and payment protocol by Saturday evening.

doTerra Essential Oils: We will be placing an order for doTerra Oils this Wednesday. Sore muscles, try their Deep Blue Rub! Lemongrass oil combined with the Deep Blue zaps those aches and pains every time! I have found that Peppermint relieves a headache in less than 15 minutes – and I LOVE the way it smells. Check with Maryanne or Pilar if you have any interest or questions!

Thank you all for your continued support! Have a wonderful weekend!

Joyful thoughts,
