Hi Folks.

We’re almost to Christmas! And happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Las Posadas, Yule or whichever your choice celebration may be. To be honest, I’m not versed in the others, but happy holiday season to everyone. We got “surprised” by another snow. My mistrusted of the weatherman’s predictions has grown strong through the farming season, so I might have said “it’s not going to snow” a few times. Oh well. It was enough for some good sledding, and that was fun.

I almost forgot to say THANK YOU to all who came out to our Severna Park Christmas market! Thank you, thank you! That was a really nice way to finish up another great season there. We’ll be back in April. Until then, we’ll be bringing home delivery that way every other week.

That brings us to our special Monday the 22nd home delivery. We want everyone to be ready for the holiday so we moved up the delivery day. Order by noon on Sunday. Leave a cooler out Monday morning and you’ll be all set by early afternoon. Easy peasy. You can order here… and if you have any trouble with the site please email or text. There have been a few glitches with ordering and we are trying to get them sorted out, which means Vicki on the phone with the tech support…boring and frustrating. (Why the purple link? Maggie is sitting with me and it was requested. Family farm in action.)

Honey’s Harvest Last Holiday Market is Sunday. 11-3pm. Good friends and a really fun market.

Deale Christmas Market is Saturday. 10-2pm. It’s at our regular stomping ground known as the local Deale Library. Should be a very nice time.

Old Stien Inn Christmas Market is Friday evening. 5pm-9pm. This will be a first for us. Farmhand Gianna is going to go hang out and tell people about the farm. She’ll have a limited selection of goods with her and basically spreading the word about our little farm. Old Stien is a great restaurant with a very original menu. I highly recommend it.

Farm Store Hours @ Morris Hill Farm: Every Saturday 10-2pm or by appointment.

That’s it. For now anyway. Hope you’re feeling prepared and not too stressed out. Thank you for reading and being a part of our small farm. Happy holidays!

Morris Hill Farm: David, Vicki, Gradin and Maggie.

Welp, we’re moving ahead into another year. To be honest, the farm doesn’t have any major resolutions. We’re going to keep our rotational grazing going and continue our daily move poultry like we do. We’ll continue to source clean non-gmo feed from St. Mary’s county, and continue to use only small family run butcher shops. The plan is to be at all the same markets and to drive the same delivery routes. We do plan to raise a little more chicken and egg layers than last year, and hope to stay a bit more stocked in grass-fed beef. But, otherwise, we’re going to keep on going. If it aint broke….you get the gist.

Happy New Year!

Im pretty sure this is the last week of non-animal related photos in the email. My farm to do list has waited patiently for the holidays to pass, and now we’re there. Today we’re loading up the big flock of sheep and bringing them back to the main farm for the rest of winter. Next week the big flock of layers will be back too. It’s nice to have the animals close for winter.

Quick Market Update

Markets All Around Well the snow has come and gone for now. It looked pretty, messed up farm work for a few days and has gone away…thankfully. The kids like it and I’m happy for that. I spent 30 some years in Florida and the death-heat summers were a seasonal event themselves. I’m happy to have four seasons.
