Vendor Updates:

 

Flying Pig Farm

This week we have eggs! We’re happy to report our new chicks have started laying. We let them free range and feed only non-GMO feed. Our brown eggs have an occasional blue egg from our Araucana. We promise it’s just as delicious! The new layer eggs are smaller and we’re not allowed to size eggs, so the cartons say “new layers” and are priced slightly cheaper since the eggs are smaller. We also have kale and swiss chard in the cooler. Thanks for shopping local!

Keene Creek Farm
Happenings around here this week have been pretty low key. Rowdi has been cutting firewood and Marissa has been resting lots – her condition is improving, but still has her holding down the couch about half the day. As we mentioned last week, we are taking orders for Christmas hams. Just let us know if you’d like a whole (18-20 lbs) or half (8-10 lbs), bone in or out, and we’d be happy to have one processed for you. The price is $5.25/lb and will be delivered to Local Bounty for you to pick up. The piglets we farrowed in August are well and growing like weeds. They were weaned last week and we have put the mommas back in with the boar to have them bred again when they start cycling. Thanks so much for supporting our family farm. We are grateful for the opportunity to help feed you and yours.

 

Mullet Apiaries

There is a new study out from the University of Iowa http://now.uiowa.edu/2015/08/food-community that states people are buying from local food sources in record numbers. A quote from the study: “A growing number of communities have attempted to gain control of their own economies by encouraging civic engagement that supports investing in locally owned businesses instead of outside companies.”When you buy from Local Bounty you are helping your own Coshocton County economy.  A tip: if your honey crystallizes, just warm (don’t boil it, just warm to the touch) water in a pan and place your container of honey in it. It will become liquid again. Be patient, it may take an hour or so, but too high a heat will destroy some of the benefits of the honey. Thank you for your support and for buying our Mullet Apiaries honey!

Thank you,

— Local Bounty Vendors
