This week, being my week to write the blog, matches up with the week of lambs!
Lambing season has begun and feels like it will be a short, frenzied burst. We are already half way through. There are fewer ewes bred this past fall, so there will be fewer lambs but you can still expect to see up to 20-30 bopping around in the coming weeks.You may even get lucky and be able to see a birt, since the mamas are in the new (but old) sheep barn, visible from the CSA barn. It is a joy to watch the lambs running and skipping around together. As always, take care in how you approach the sheep-- the pregnant mamas appreciate their rest and the less stress, the better!

Tiny Potato Gnome
this is not a recipe. this is me. I am the tiny potato gnome. for some bizarre reason, people don't like to take the tiny potatoes. all the better for me. i take the tiny potatoes. i boil a pot of them, whole. then i cut them in half and pan fry them, flesh side down. season. eat. refrigerate whats left. pan fry more in the morning. and possibly the next morning, depending on the size of the pot.
