Well it's officially fall now and I would swear that yesterday there were no leaves dropping and today they fall like a busted open down pillow! Well, when the wind's blowing anyway. Haha! Colors are starting here on the farm and the days have what we call a "fall light." It begins somewhere in late August and all of a sudden about sunset, things look more red, pink and crisp? Did I say crisp-yeah, that's right. I know no other way to express it but the trees look more green or yellow or brown, depending on the species. More crisp-or maybe........more vivid is the term.
Now is also the traditional time to 'put up' foods for the upcoming winter, which by the way Farmer's Almanac predicts this one approaching to be very snowy. When we have a garden, not decimated by said generational woodchuck family, I can,freeze and dry all foods that I am able to-unless I don't get it all harvested. Which happens.....we're all human, right? I am therefore not as constructive as a squirrel, I admit. Imagine if as humans we could just dig holes in the garden and bury our cache-pate, cheese, prime rib? I guess that would lure all critters except the acorn hypnotized.
Anyway...everyone who knows us is aware of the woodchuck debacle of this year's garden. But good news on the horizon is that our pork is ready again! Please feel free to phone 802.893.2963 or email info@sheepcheese.com to find out how to order.
