The sheep are moving onto green pastures.
Hello Friends of Leyden Glen Farm -
Just a quick note tonight to let you all know that we are back in stock on our delicious Sweet Italian Lamb Sausage. Come see Farmer Mark and your other favorite farmers on Saturday on the Amherst Common and pick some up. Hours are 8:00 to 1:30.
This week on the farm, we have begun moving the sheep and lambs out onto pasture. It is a lot of work - setting up fences. The sheep need to be caught and loaded onto a trailer 15 at a time. Then they head off for their summer grazing. It will take several weeks until they all get moved. Here is a photo of some of the ewes and lambs under the apple trees just outside our farmhouse here in Leyden.
Don't forget that Kristin will be at the Tuesday Market in Northampton next week.
A great big thank you to the Grinspoon Foundation. We were the recipient of a Local Farmer Award and will use the money to purchase more portable electric fencing to increase our grazing lands. Thank you!
Looking forward to seeing you all again soon! Thank you for your support of our farm.
Your shepherds,
Mark Duprey
