January is moving right along and we are having lots of success and lots of fun!
We have been planting in the greenhouse and seedlings are sprouting already! YEA! We have planted lettuce, spinach, korabi, tomatoes, radishes, turnips, and more to come! The garden plan has been designed and it is being implemented. We are expanding the garden this year and very excited about the growth here on the farm!
The cows have been bred and we are excited about the due dates for new calves to hit the ground!
We have also added some FRUIT TREES to the farm this winter! 3 new Peach Trees which brings the count to 5 and 2 Orange Trees along with 1 Lemon! We were so excited to have fruit that will be available at the farm, just hope it produces more than Alice can eat or no one will get some! LOL AND a Special thanks goes out to Mrs. Susan, who has donated 2 plum trees to the farm, we are looking forward to picking them out and getting them planted!
Not much too report today, but have been busy, busy, busy! If you want to plant or dig in the dirt, give us a call and come out to help! We always enjoy the visits and the help!

New Year, New Plans, New ......
The past year was a long and stressful year, between droughts, animals, garden, and LIFE we made it to 2012! As with all new beginnings, we get to start over, improve on somethings, and enhance others! So here is the list of what is changing and what is happening on the FARM!
GARDEN
The garden is growing, we are expanding the garden so that we can offer more CSA shares and a lot more varieties! If you can name a veggie we are probably growing it this year! We have a very extensive list of items that should be coming in your baskets soon. We adding on 12 more CSA members, so if you or someone you know is interested please contact me cathy@coxfamilyfarm.com. The CSA this year will be $50 a month for a peck of vegetables, we call them a basket, but fresh, organically grown, local veggies once a week that will feed a family of 4-6 each week!
We are working hard on adding recipe's into the baskets so that you can learn different techniques for cooking all the wonderful things you will be receiving! We are hoping to get feedback from our customers so that we can build a large list of recipes to share with each other. Some of the comments we are hearing about our CSA is "My Husband was skeptical when I brought home the last basket because of the winter veggies, but after the week he said WOW you had the kids eating Kale, Swiss Chard, and turnips and everyone enjoyed it!" We are glad to help supply healthy foods to our customers and friends.
COWS
We are breeding cows right now! We bred 4 today and currently have 1 bred, so if you are looking for grass fed beef contact us and put a hold on your calf for next year! The FARM is currently working on obtaining our Raw for Retail Grade A Licence so that we can sell Raw Milk from the farm. We will keep you updated on the progress as this procedure takes time.
Have a GREAT Week and come see the farm,
from our family to yours, enjoy!
