A Winter Plan and A Party

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!
Elliott and I are taking some time to rest and be with our families, but we wanted to post a quick note about where you can find us (and our eggs, chicken, and pork) now that the markets have officially ended in both Statesboro and Savannah. The success of our farm is built on personal relationships, so we plan on keeping you updated throughout the winter season on how we can continue to support and nourish each other. Also, we want to invite you to a party!

How to support us in Savannah:
EVERY Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to noon - starting TOMORROW! - we'll be setting up with other vendors at the Corner of Bull and Park, across from Brighter Day. We will have eggs, chicken, and pork available throughout the winter market season. Our eggs are limited due to limited daylight (less daylight = less eggs), so please be flexible if we do not have them when you arrive at the market. Chicken and pork sales help us feed our laying hens in the winter when they're not pulling their weight on the farm, so we encourage you to give them a try if you haven't yet.

How to support us in Statesboro:
We will be marketing our products through http://statesboromainstreetmarket.locallygrown.net/, an online retail space. The ordering and pick-up details for every week are on the website, so take a look and call us if you have any questions at 912-863-6436.

You're also more than welcome to come out to the farm to purchase directly from us any day of the week. We'll even let you pick out your eggs directly from the coop, and your chicken directly from the freezer (though that's less fun). Just give us a call at 912-863-6436 so we can expect you.

You're Invited! Farm Open House/Arianne's Epic 25th Birthday Party On Saturday, December 11th we are throwing an epic party: for you, for us, for the farm. We'll open at 4pm for those who want to come and see in the daylight what we've been up to all season and what we're planning for next year. Dinner is potluck-style at 7ish. We will provide chicken and beer. Please bring a side dish or dessert--and your friends! We will show-and-tell, but mostly we want to say thank you for your continued commitment and friendship. Please RSVP by e-mail or phone: 912-863-6436.

Let's keep in touch...

This isn't the kind of relationship you have with your grocery store--we want to be a part of your family, and we want you to be a part of ours.

All the Best,

Arianne and Elliott
