Greetings Friends!
We want to thank you all very much for your support this past year. Our farm and family has changed significantly since our last post. Most notably the addition of our son Abraham Emmanuel on Christmas day. This winter we also began reopening 4 acres of old pasture that had been allowed to go wild. Hopefully by next year we’ll have most of our livestock closer to us in the new field!
As you might have imagined the projects are progressing more slowly since the addition of more indoor livestock and extremely wet weather. It seems as though we’ve missed spring and gone from cold and wet straight into summer.
That’s okay, because summer means cold beverages. Do you like soda? If so, we highly recommend you try making our natural version of mountain dew: 1 pint of seltzer, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, and the juice of half a lemon. Simply put the syrup and juice in a glass, pour in the seltzer and add ice. We boiled some delicious maple syrup this spring so there is plenty available for order. Please email info@emilsagroforest.com if you’re interested.
Our new flock of hens are doing outstanding work out there on the fields of 432 Watson Hollow Rd. and you can find the fruits of their labors in the cooler there for $7 a dozen. If you would like to get in on our next delivery run downstate please let us know. We pass through Nyack, Dobbs Ferry, Inwood, and Leonia at least once a month. One dozen eggs delivered is $8.50. Email us at info@emilsagroforest.com for details.
We have our first batch of broiler chicks in the brooder and they look fantastic. We are trying a new breed this year that is supposed to do better out on the grass and have more intramuscular fat for more succulent deliciousness. If you would like to join our chicken CSA program please send us an email to info@emilsagroforest.com for details!
As you may have noticed we have chosen to remove ourselves from facebook, google apps, and have decided to stop updating our instagram. Our email address has changed so please be sure to update our contact information. We are trying to use non-surveillance based technologies to connect with you so please expect to see more emails from us. If you think you may have friends who would be interested in our products please forward this email to them! If you do not want to get these updates you may unsubscribe below.
Thank you all for your time and patience, here are some pictures:
