One of those days to savor, air is crisp and clear, the sun is shining and the temps are in the mid fifties. Yesterday we spent the afternoon/evening at the Gallatin County Pumpkin Festival. The farm sponsored the scarecrow contest, so Friday, after driving to Frankfort in the morning to pick up a friends wedding pumpkins, I spent the afternoon driving around taking pictures of scarecrows for the vote on Saturday. We also gave all the prizes for the winners of the vote, as well as giving away mini pumpkins to festival attendees...networking for the future. I had hoped to have more of my photography matted and framed, but only had three pieces to bring. Hopefully, now that I have no more markets or festivals planned I can get ahead for next year...ha! Getting ready to can today, stopped at Ayers Orchard in Ownenton on my way home Friday and picked up some KY apples, they even had my favorite, Mutzu. So apple cranberry chutney, apple butter and apple caramel sauce today. Also picked up a couple hundred pounds of black walnuts today, and about 10 pounds of pecans.

Busy week ahead as always, first delivery of eggs to Local 127 restaurant. Getting more hens this week, as our production is not keeping up with demand. Also working to get our products in Farm Fresh Delivery, http://www.farmfreshdelivery.com/, a wonderful new service for the local farmer and consumer.
Hey Tricia, Congrats on getting your new hens! That was fast. Hope you have a great week.
