Mini Microgreen Market

Since the weather seems determined to scarper my best laid plans for outside work, I've turned my attention to fixing the inventory problem on the online store. The best solution, if not the easiest or quickest, is to rebuild the store on my regular webpage. This is working well since I'm adding new products anyways so being able to format it from the ground up again is nice. It does mean it will take me a few weeks to get everything transferred and formatted. So, don't hold your breath just yet, but the new store is coming!
And, of course, this newsletter is the best way to hear about it once it's here.
Until then, stay warm and keep dreaming of the inevitable spring!

Almost forgot to mention that you can now get a selection of flower seeds from the farm at Homesteaders in Libby!
Look for my little display of local, farm-saved seeds to add a bit of color to your world  

Microgreens are a great way to chase away the cabin fever blues and give hints of all the good green things to come!

What are Microgreens?
 

• Microgreens are the young shoots of some of you favorite veggies, herbs, and even edible flowers.
• They are soil-grown, usually in shallow trays, but sometimes directly in a garden (this is different than sprouts that are germinated in water only)
• Most grow very fast and harvest is usually within 7-14 days after sowing
• They are harvested just before or just after the first true leaf appears (this can sometimes be a window of only a few hours!)
• They are packed full of nutrients and minerals for the good of your body 
• I pick the ones with the tastiest flavors (healthy things don't need to taste icky or bland!)
• They keep for about 7-10 days after harvest so you gotta buy them fresh and local

My sister gifted the hens and I an automatic feeder that opens up to reveal the food when they stand on the pedal! They are in training mode right now so it is locked open but they flocked (□) to it right away. It keeps their food dry and locked up from varmints (you must read that with an old timey accent lol) so that I don't have to be out their with their food first thing! It gives me a chance to focus on other tasks in the morning knowing they aren't gasping for grub

The kittens are almost as grumpy as me about the renewed cold and snow

When it's cold outside what better place to snuggle than on a warm blanket that may have a heated blanket underneath ;)
