Hey everyone!
We were really happy with all the people who came out to support us during the COLD & WET Loudoun County Fall Farm Tour last weekend. It was great to see all our regular customers and then a TON of new people. This was the first one I was able to hang out and talk to some of you instead of running around constantly so that was a good thing.
We still have stuff going on so here we go.....
This weekend is the LAST WEEK we will be at the farmer's market in Leesburg!! We will not be attending the Winter Farmer's Market and then we will know later about the spring market. DON'T LET THIS GET YOU DOWN!!! What does this mean? It means that you can come out to the farm starting in November from 10-3! The only weekend we will open a little later will be November 21st as we will be butchering turkeys that morning so watch your email for that time. We are still butchering chickens - so take note that you will ONLY be able to get them directly from the farm.
Next Saturday will be our 1st Annual Trick or Treat at Chicama Run event! Free admission, hay rides, egg gatherings, free tattoos, pick-your-own pumpkin, the ever popular farm scavenger hunt and then from 2-4 we will have TRICK OR TREAT stations set up around the farm for kids to go get candy from!! Make this a family event and we can't wait to see you all here. We are all excited about dressing up and can't wait to see everyone's costumes!
So what's going on this weekend??
The farm will open up after the market from 1-4 with the usual 10% off all non-sale beef, lamb & pork. Then we will be offering the following sales:
Ground Beef - $4.50/pound
Loose Apple Sausage *A NEW CHICAMA RUN EXCLUSIVE MADE FROM LOCALLY GROWN APPLES (and of course our pork)* - $4.00/pound
Delmonico/Rib-Eye Steaks - $15.50/pound
Chorizzo - $5.00/pound
Andouille - $5.00/pound
Ground Pork - $4.00/pound
Flank Steak - $10.00/pound
Last but not least....
We have a couple of CHOICE B 1/4's available at the next pick up (which should be at the beginning of November). If you are interested, please send me an email and I can send you a link to make the $50 deposit.
There are still a couple of openings for the steers that go to the butcher on November 16th so visit http://www.chicamarun.com/beef.html
If you have not ordered your turkey yet - do so soon so we don't run out http://www.chicamarun.com/turkey.html
And I promise you this is the last thing - we opened up a new "BEEF ONLY" option for the meat CSA for those who are not interested in pork. So please go check it out and then email me with questions if you have any http://www.chicamarun.com/meatcsa.html
We hope to see everyone this weekend!
Thank you!
