We are offering full and half shares in our garden produce this year. We have a lot of plans for Windy Thistle and this is the year to really make it fruitful. We use sustainable methods, never pesticides or herbicides so you'll be eating foods the way nature intended. We're bee friendly and when Buttercup & Bluebell, our beehives, are harvested, you'll get a share of the honey, too.
Our farm can only sustain only so many families so get your reservation in quickly. What is ready will change every week starting mid-June. The dozen eggs are medium to large brown eggs, laid by our flock. If the ladies don't produce the projected amount, you will get an equal share of what they do lay.
Additionally, membership gives you our series of classes for free - reservations still apply, so make sure you sign up for the classes you want to attend asap. Find the class schedule here: https://heartwynd.wixsite.com/windythistlefarm/post/2020-homesteading-classes-schedule-through-may-2020
You'll also get a weekly recipe that uses some of the items that you'll find in your basket.
Payment plans are available - Contact us on Facebook @ Windy Thistle Farm Stay Bed & Breakfast or email me at heartwynd@aol.com for the contract. Down payment required by 3/31/2020. Don't think you'll be able eat that much? Go in with a friend to split the cost.
