We'll be at Green Spring Station this Thursday evening (April 29th) for a special event, STYLE at the Station. The event, presented by STYLE Magazine and Green Spring Station, will feature a book signing for Dishing up Maryland, 150 Recipes from the Alleghenies to the Chesapeake Bay, at 5:00.
A farmer's market will be held a the same time, with a theme of Going Local. We'll have fresh-baked breads, eggs from our free-range chickens, asparagus, lettuce mix, spring onions, cut and potted herbs, potted flowers...
Hope to see you there!
We'll also be at Green Spring Station this Saturday (May 1st) from 1:00 to 3:00.

Rocky the Rooster
Rocky (so named because he is a Barred Rock) was an unexpected addition to our chicken family. We were supposed to get all hens, but someone slipped up at the hatchery. We're glad to have him anyway! Well, maybe the other two roosters aren't exactly thrilled, since Rocky is younger AND bigger.
All the chickens have been enjoying their newly expanded yard, which is full of grass and bugs and unexplored territory.

Great Eggspectations
We've declared a new egg size: the SuperJumbo. Our youngest hens just started laying eggs in March. While most of the eggs are size small or peewee, we occasionally get something WAY more ambitious--they are usually double-yolkers. A peewee egg averages 35 g and a jumbo is about 71 g. Our "SuperJumbo" weighed in at 82 g!
