Down on the Farm

This past weekend we made our first of many trips to the farm. They spruced up the place over the winter - a new sign and a fresh coat of paint on the main barn. Since the weather has been absolutely horrendous, not much is growing yet, but we were able to pick our own asparagus - YUM! Amazing flavor. The 'Ladies' even dropped some eggs for us - DOUBLE YUM! If you are ever in Homer Glen, stop by the farm. Even if you don't want to pick your own anything, they have a brand new ADORABLE gift shop, with hundreds of yummy treats, produce and nick knacks, not to mention their very high quality flowers and plants that are for sale as well.

Spring is here! And it is time to visit Earl & Myrna at http://www.gardenpatchfarms.com/
Support family farming - learn how your food is gown and who grows it. Better yet, give them a break and go pick it yourself. Then you know you are getting the freshest, highest quality produce available. And don't forget to stop by the stand and get a dozen of the most delicious eggs you will ever have. Laid fresh that morning by 'The Ladies'. If you are lucky and get there early, they are still warm from the chickens' butts!
