Grower’s News:
Oakview Farm: We hope that everyone had a great holiday. We are glad to have made it through the cold weather and glad that most of our veggies survived the cold. We will have Hakurei turnips this week – small, tender and sweet trnips you will absoluely love! Along with our Salad Greens mix, made with spinach, arugula, mustard and trunip greens.

Happy holidays and super excited for the new year
Sow’s Ear Piggery: Rendered lard from Non-GMO, non-antibiotic pork back fat from free-range pig. We personally use daily in cooking and baking in place or oils or butter and have excellent cholesterol numbers.
This lard is “soft/smooth” directly from the fridge but can be used successfully for baking if the required amount is placed in the freezer for 20-30 minutes before being cut into your flour/dry ingredients.
There is plenty more fat back to offer more lard in the coming weeks, based on response.
Also, if a buyer returns the quart jar, I will offer a discounted price for future purchase of the same product.
