They are the best tasting, tender and  healthy chickens ever! </span></span></span></p>

<p><span><strong>Garlic  Chicken Pasta</strong></span></p>
<p><span><span>2 cups cooked chicken, cut  into bite sized pieces (great way to use up leftover chicken)<br />
1 clove garlic  or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or more if you like lots of garlic)<br />
1-2  Tablespoons olive oil<br />
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta<br />
3 cups whole milk<br />
3  Tablespoons butter<br />
1/2 t. sea salt<br />
grated Parmesan cheese</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>In a skillet, saute chicken  and garlic in olive oil.  Turn to low heat to keep warm.  Meanwhile, cook the  pasta in a big pot with the milk, butter and salt.  Stir almost constantly,  especially as the pasta is becoming tender and the milk is beginning to boil.   Cook and stir over medium heat until pasta is tender and the starch from the  pasta has thickened the milk, creating a creamy sauce.  Stir in the chicken and  serve immediately…sprinkling Parmesan cheese on each  serving.</span></span></td>

Meadow has such a sweet temperament and is very pretty.  She is gentle with babies on up to Grandmothers.  Meadow has successfully completed Home Companion courses 1 and 2 as well as receiving the AKC Canine Good Citizen Award.  She weighs a nice 65 lbs. This is her first litter with us, and she is proving to be an excellent and attentive Mom. She has a milk chocolate coat which is very sleek, glossy and smooth. Expect her puppies to mature to the 60-75 lb. range with Rhyme Time as the sire.</p>

This is his first litter with Meadow. Rhyme has a beautiful dark chocolate coat, broad head and thick, otter tail. He weighs about 80 lbs. He&#8217;s a gentle lad, with a heart to please. He&#8217;s gentle with puppies and babies, and would love nothing better than to sit at your feet all day. But throw him a stick or a ball, and he&#8217;ll be just as happy! Rhyme has some good championship titled dogs in his pedigree.</p>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;">13 July 2011</span></span></span><br />
<img src="http://gallery.mailchimp.com/99b161ae646ef5ef3b8cb232c/images/IMG_0929_Small_.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="640" height="360" /><br />
Peace the youngest of 8 is helping to collect eggs</p>
<p><span class="title" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Georgia; color: #8b0000; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;">CHICKEN  </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11px;">Kim Fuhrmann</span></p>
<p>The perfect summer meat…<br />
Chicken. <br />
Delicious so good for you so easy to digest and with literally a million ways to prepare it&#8211; it&#8217;s just too good <img src='http://ourfathersfarmva.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .  Our chickens are raised on chemical free pasture and moved daily to fresh foraging grounds.  They&#8217;re fed a non-GMO feed and they&#8217;re processing out so big and healthy.<br />
One thing to remember about any grass fed/raised meats is that they taste better when cooked “low and slow” but that is the healthiest way to enjoy those meats anyway! </p>
<p>Our chicken sell for $3.95/lb the are 4.5 &#8211; 5.5lbs.  For the rest of July we’re running a special. <br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> $10 off  </span></span><br />
the total when you purchase 4 or more chickens.</p>
<p>One of our chickens can easily feed a “large family” four beautiful dinners.  How?  I’m sending  a link below to some recipes, but we get two 9X13 casseroles, and two 5 quart pots of soup from one chicken.  You can use the broth to make stew or soup or in other casseroles (like home made mac and cheese) which would normally call for cream of blick canned soup… I’m just going to attach recipes and share some things I’ve learned from two generations ago when people used all the food before they started throwing stuff away J.  So if you break this chicken down into 4-6 meals the beautiful-delicious-beyond-organic meat element for each meal now costs you only $3-5 per meal.  Conventional grocery stores can’t beat that!  And you know that every bite is as good for you as it is just plain good!  You can also grill the meat if you like it cooked that way.  It&#8217;s best when marinated from 30 minutes to 24 hours.  I like to marinate in a zip lock in the fridge and turn it around frequently.  Delicious.<br />
 <br />
We’re in the midst of our chicken season.  The weather has been great and the grass is full of good things to eat.  These birds are looking so good.  We now have a freezer full of nice whole chickens as well as a few cuts.  We will have fresh chicken available Saturday, July 23rd.  Some customers came out to the farm to pick up fresh chickens last processing day and you can call or email if you want to arrange that.  We recommend that to people who want to buy in quantity and then cut up and freeze their chickens in parts for future yummy meals.  Otherwise, we freeze them and you can get them whenever. These chickens are raised on a beautiful non-GMO feed and on pasture.  They’re delicious and so good for you down to the last drop.  Remember that on our farm we try to mimic nature and the flow of seasons.  Chickens are only available until the end of November.  So plan accordingly.  Many customers considered what they would need to last them through the winter and purchased with “stocking up” in mind.  The chickens last very well in the freezer.  If you let us know how many you need to get you through the “chickenless months” we can better plan how many we raise.  We are so blessed to serve you all by raising this nourishing yummy food.  Thank you for your support! <br />

<p><span class="title" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Georgia; color: #8b0000; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;">Thanksgiving Turkey??!!</span><br />
It seems crazy to even think about something so far away, but we are already raising some turkey chicks (Poults) on beautiful pasture and non-GMO feed, raw milk and fresh kitchen scraps.  These turkeys will make your taste buds and holiday guests sing.  Turkey pick-up day is one of our favorite days of the year when we get to see so many of you face to face and give you a little tour of the farm.  It’s a wonderful culmination to the end of the growing season and we love celebrating it with you all.  Supply is limited and we already have a sign up sheet filling so call or email if you’re interested in some Thanksgiving Goodness.  Reserve your Turkey by sending a $20 deposit, you pay the remaining balance when you pick up you bird. <a style="color: #800000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" title="mailto:orders@ourfathersfarmva.com" href="mailto:orders@ourfathersfarmva.com">mailto:orders@ourfathersfarmva.com</a></p>

As you shop around at farmers markets, on line and in stores please remember that not all chicken, eggs, raw milk and beef are the same.  Even the terms pastured poultry may make one to believe that they are all the same.  The chickens do eat grass and grubs, but still need 90% of their diet in grains.  Most folks feed conventional grains (unless marked Organic they contain GMO grains) with GMO corn and soy in them.  We have chosen to use only non-GMO feeds for our animals.  This means an extra burden because you can&#8217;t find the grain locally and the cost is higher.  We are happy to do it, and it&#8217;s the only thing we want to feed our children, what better thing to invest our money in but nutrient dense food that builds healthy children and adults for a lifetime.   Latest studies show that GMO&#8217;s have horrible effects on the ones that consume them.  check out<a style="color: #800000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" title="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/" href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/"> </a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;"><a style="color: #800000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" title="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/" href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/">responsible technology</a></span><a style="color: #800000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" title="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/" href="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px;" title="http://www.responsibletechnology.org/"> </span></a></p>
<p>What about <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Grass fed</strong></span> beef verses grass finished beef.  Grass fed should mean that they have been on grass their whole life, they went from milk to grass.  This produces a meat much higher in omega 3 and all the other good stuff.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Grass finished</strong></span> could mean they had lots of grain and just finished their life on Grass.  Again the health and nutritional benefits are much better with purely grass fed.  </p>
<p>Chickens and Beef:   We now have freezers full of beautiful plump whole chickens as well as a few cut  ups.  We will gladly deliver the chickens to Lynchburg or Roanoake.  Of course you and the family are always invited to come pick up down at the farm.</p>
<p>We got some beef in and still more to come. Some of you have had reservations on shares of beef that are now available.  We also have beef by the cut.</p>

<p>We have some beautiful kittens ready to go to a nice home or farm.  These are not just ordinary kittens, they have superior intellect and beauty.  They have been raised on mother&#8217;s milk as well as raw cow&#8217;s milk.  They have been trained to catch mice and other barn pests.  They live outside comfortably all year round and are a great service to any home.  Many folks have turned them into wonderful indoor cats as well.  The children are asking $5 each for these beauties.  We only have two left.</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>It’s so important that we Educate Ourselves!</strong></span></span></p>
<p>We will be having a <span style="font-size: 12px;"><span class="title" style="line-height: 150%; font-family: Georgia; color: #8b0000; font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold;">&#8220;How to take a chicken from pasture to pot&#8221; class</span></span>.  E-mail or call to sign up.  The class name is a fancy way to say &#8220;processing the birds&#8221; it&#8217;s a pretty incredible process and a lot of fun, if you can imagine <img src='http://ourfathersfarmva.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  we have people who drive two hours to join the fun&#8230; turkey processing we&#8217;ve had people from NY and VA Beach who woulda thought??  This is a very good totally hands on experience for anyone.  It&#8217;s strictly a working class with serious working elements, so no small unattended children please.  We prefer those in the class to be hard working focused children accompanied by a parent.    There will be a class Saturday July 23rd.  The class will cost $25 per person $35 per couple.  It will be two hours long starting at 9:30 and ending at 11:30.  Bring boots and old clothes.  You are welcome to stay longer and help us finish the batch.  </p>

<p>These classes were a huge hit last year!  There&#8217;s a lot of synergy in a gathering of like minded people&#8211; experts in their own rank and field of knowledge.  We spend a busy information packed day together here on the farm.  <br />
The class includes an introduction as to the &#8220;Why&#8221; we want to change the way we eat and shop (a mini food INc if you will) and a brief farm tour, the  basics in bread making and cooking with whole grains and baking/jam making etc with natural &#8220;whole&#8221; sweeteners, making your own cleaning supplies for the home out of all-natural components, herbal/home remedies for various ailments and booboos, basics on gardening year round, sprouting, some how to on cooking healthy nutritious foods (curry, tons of chicken and beef recipes as well as fermented foods), and the study of Kombucha and Kefir your gut&#8217;s best friends.  Phew, that&#8217;s a lot.  But the class includes handouts, notes and other written materials so you can review and study later the mass of info you&#8217;ll pick up during the course of the day. <img src='http://ourfathersfarmva.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>There&#8217;s a break in the middle of the day for a lunch prepared and served by the family out in our new &#8220;edible garden&#8221;.  Everything we serve is grown or raised right here and you will have just seen it all on the farm tour.  Pretty cool.  It is a wonderful time of growing and learning together.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not a licenced anything&#8211; just a dedicated wife, mom and hostess.  I want anyone who sits down to eat in our home to be blessed from the first taste to the final assimilation of every bite or sip they enjoy here and so, have been studying and practicing avidly for seven years.  It&#8217;s an honor to share with you all!  The farm store will be open after class and i will try to have Kefir and Kombucha starters available for those intersted in obtaining those.  <br />
We look forward to seeing some of you!   <br />
The cost of for the seminar is $50/person or $75/couple.  This price will cover materials, recipes and lunch.  There are a few partial or full scholarships available please call me for details.  Space is limited so register soon if you&#8217;re interested!<br />

<span>Hope and  Timothy taking first steps with Peace turning one.</span></p>
<p><span><strong>Glorious EGGS</strong></span></p>
<p>Kim</p>
<p>Spring has sprung and the chickens are so happy!  We have never  had such an abundance of eggs!  There are a lot of factors involved in the high  egg production.  The chickens are young (this is their first spring laying),  they have a deluxe model chicken house that is predator proof which helps their  morale and lowers stress levels, and the days are getting longer and warmer.   Our chickens are released from their shelter every morning and allowed to range  freely over the farm.  We try to run them behind the cows, but they go all over  the place foraging and enjoying life.  They all go back to the house by dark and  like being closed in nice and safe from foxes and other predators</p>
<p>Most  of you getting this newsletter are already “food quality savvy”.  It’s so  important for us to know from whence our food comes.  And what the food we’re  eating “ate” prior to our consumption… whether it is plant, mineral or animal.    We are what we eat, literally.<br />
That said:<br />
We have found a great place that  grows non-GMO feed.  We drive over four hours round trip to get that stuff to  the farm.  Our broilers (Eating chickens) eat this non-GMO feed as well.  We  really don’t want any GMO’s on our farm .  In the <a title="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/39/to-your-health-bone-broth-integrity-in-farming.htm" href="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/39/to-your-health-bone-broth-integrity-in-farming.htm">l</a><a title="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/39/to-your-health-bone-broth-integrity-in-farming.htm" href="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/39/to-your-health-bone-broth-integrity-in-farming.htm">ast  newsletter</a> we discussed the what and why of GMOs.</p>
<p>We’re excited  about the bounty of eggs on the farm right now and <strong>wanted to offer a  special! </strong> This month, we’re going to keep the old price so you’ll be  able to get your eggs for $3.50/dozen for the month of April.   But<br />
<strong>for the first fifteen herd share customers that respond to this  email we’re offering a free dozen eggs with your next delivery.</strong><br />
You  all are such a blessing to us!  When we enjoy a bounty here we want to share it  with you!  Thanks for your support.</p>
<p>For those of you with only one or  two people to feed a dozen or two of eggs might sound like more than you can  eat.<br />
I wanted to share some amazing egg facts with you!<br />
Eggs are one of  the easier animal proteins to digest.<br />
Our kind of eggs can be eaten raw (the  yolks)<br />
Lovely clean eggs coming from chickens raised correctly on beautiful  pasture with good food and no medicine or hormones or crowding… can be kept in a  cool dark place for up to four months.  Isn’t that interesting?  During this  time of year chickens lay like crazy but they wane during the winter months  (unless you feed them hormones and light their house and “force” egg  production).  But if you plan ahead and stock pile a few dozen lovely eggs they  can last through the winter months when the chickens take a break.  Our  forefathers understood this and kept eggs in the cool dark cellar to be used  during the snowy time when the chickens were just surviving and not in the  “family mood”.  They did the same thing with milk;  they planned ahead and when  spring grass and new calves were causing great abundance in milk they made  butter and cheese to be aged, stored and enjoyed during winter months when milk  production was much lower!  There are so many rich blessings and insights we  learn when we get back in touch with where food comes from and when we learn how  to adhere to nature’s natural cycles.</p>

<p>The cost of sustainable  farming<br />
We are first here to serve God and raise blessed children that are  assets to this land.  We seek to live as much as we can self sustained.   The  conventional farming model is very dependent on the government for funds,  grants, loans, and subsidies.  These farms could not exist the way they are  farming without outside help from taxpayers, they are not sustainable.   Our  model of farming is sustainable.  We are dependent on little or nothing but our  customers, we have no government involvment or funds coming into our farm.  This  is a great plus&#8211; if the &#8220;system&#8221; goes down we can keep running.  You also have  direct influence, accountability and control over our farm.  As long as we have  customers buying our products we can keep producing.  We are blessed also to  know our customers personally, they are able to give us feedback good or bad on  how we are doing.  We are extra careful in our handling, first because we eat  everything we raise, and second because if we mess up our customers know whose  fault it is.  When a &#8220;poisoning&#8221; comes through a grocery store millions of  products are recalled and there is little or no accountability.  With us the  &#8220;buck stops here&#8221;.   Sustainable farming provides customers with real food,  grown naturally and healthy, at real costs.  The conventional farms costs are  subsidised.  Take a look at <a title="http://www.foodincmovie.com/" href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/">&#8220;Food  Inc.&#8221;</a> or <a title="http://www.freshthemovie.com/" href="http://www.freshthemovie.com/">&#8220;Fresh&#8221;</a> for a great presentation on  this subject.  We would be glad to loan out copies of the movies to anyone  interested.</p>
<p>Check out our updated <a title="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/ordering-prices" href="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/ordering-prices">Price list</a> going into  affect May 1, 2011.  Please give us feedback on prices, let us know if you have  a lower price for the same product, we would like to try and beat  it.</p>
<p><span><strong><span>Organic Vegetable CSA partners with Our Father&#8217;s  Farm</span></strong>:</span><br />
We are partnering with Warren Landis of <a title="http://strawberrycreekfarm.wordpress.com/" href="http://strawberrycreekfarm.wordpress.com/">Strawberry Creek Farm</a> to  offer our Herd Share customers organic vegetables each week delivered with their  milk.  Roanoke customers can pick up with their milk.  Lynchburg customers will  have to meet us in the parking lot on Friday mornings.  Check out Mr. Landis&#8217;  web site and sign up directly with him and go to him with any questions or  concerns.  We will deliver the veggies for Mr. Landis to those of you who decide  to partner with him.  We have visited his farm ourselves and have seen his  practices and his model.  He is very innovative and the &#8220;real deal&#8221; in organics.   For those of you who want to get the veggies we will deliver free of any extra  charge to herd share delivery folks.</p>
<p><span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Raw Milk Herd Share  customers:</strong></span></span><br />
We are into beautiful spring grass and when  that happens the flavor of the milk changes.  It&#8217;s a wonderful flavor that  varies depending on the type of grass they are in, the color will also be much  greener, indicating lots of great healthy vitamines.<br />
<strong>Cost:</strong> Even though grain and fuel prices are rising we are able to continue to offer  the same $35 per month per share boarding fee.  We are commited to keep costs  low.  In the spring and summer we feed very little grain and because we are now  leasing another 65 acres next door we have plenty of  grass.<br />
<strong>Delivery:</strong> For our customers that receive their milk  through delivery to Roanoke or Lynchburg we are happy to offer the option of  receiving your milk in 1/2 gallon<strong><span> glass  jars</span>.</strong> There will be the extra chore of cleaning and returning  the jars each week.  If you are interested please read the <a title="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/41/handle-and-cleaning-of-milk-jars.htm" href="http://ourfathersfarmva.com/41/handle-and-cleaning-of-milk-jars.htm">instructions</a> and then e-mail us.<br />
Creamery:  Only for herd share owners we also ofer other  items for a labor fee only.<br />
Butter    $10 per pound or $5 1/2  pound labor fee<br />
Yogurt    $ 4 per quart labor fee<br />
Fresh  Cream  $ 4 pint or $8 quart labor fee<br />
Butter Milk   $3 Quart labor  fee<br />
Kefir  $4 per quart (available next month) labor fee</p>
<hr /><span><span><strong>It’s so  important that we Educate Ourselves!</strong></span></span></p>
<p>We’d love to  help.  I’m not a certified or licensed anything.  I am just a mom of eight with  eleven plus people to feed three times a day.  I learned much of what I know  from living in the heart of Africa for seven years, the Weston Price foundation,  avid research, personal testing and raw experience J<br />
I love to teach and  share.  The synergy that comes from a group is educational too as all come to  the table with different experiences and gifts.  We want to offer classes here  at the farm for families, or couples, small groups or even private sessions.   More details on this soon, but if you are interested and want to be added to a  list please contact us.  Tell us if there are any specific areas you’d like to  learn about (making your own home remedies?  Whole food from scratch cooking?   Bread making using freshly ground whole grains?  Cooking organic whole food on a  tight budget?  Home made green cleaning supplies?  Basic survival/homesteading  skills (butter making, gardening, basic animal care?)… And also please tell me  if you’re interested in group or private learning.  We’re working on a schedule  and want to poll you before we get things firmed up.<br />
We are honored to serve  and empower you in this way!  It’s what I wish someone had been teaching when I  was first starting out sixteen years ago!  I had to learn the hard way J and  would love to share with you in order to make your way easier!<br />
Thanks so  much!<br />

Titus  2: 3-5</p>
<hr /><strong><span><span>Kim&#8217;s  Recipies:</span></span></strong><br />
Here are a few of our favorite egg recipes.   I would never eat a raw egg yolk unless I knew exactly where that egg had come  from and how the chicken who laid it was raised.</p>
<p><strong> <span><span> Egg Yolk Yogurt smoothie</span></span></strong><span><span>:</span></span><br />
1 raw  Our Father’s Farm egg yolk J<br />
1 C kefir or yogurt<br />
2 Tb raw honey OR maple  syrup<br />
1 banana (can freeze it to make your smoothie  colder) OR 1 C of any  organic frozen fruit<br />
For a mega energy boost also add:<br />
1 Tb almond  butter<br />
1 Tb green powder (barley greens or greens plus powder)<br />
Blend all  until smooth and creamy.  DELICIOUS!  If you drink this for breakfast you won’t  be hungry again until well into the afternoon.  If I drink this I usually drink  a glass or so of milk during the day and just wait to eat again until an early  dinner time.</p>
<p><span><span><strong>Egg Nog</strong></span></span><br />
1 C Our  Father’s Farm Milk<br />
1 -2 raw egg yolks<br />
1 tsp vanilla<br />
1 Tb honey or maple  syrup<br />
1 tsp cinnamon<br />
½ tsp each nutmeg, allspice, cloves<br />
Blend well  chill and enjoy!</p>
<p><span><span><strong>Cleopatra’s Beauty facial  wash</strong></span></span><br />
Egg white (brilliant way to use leftover white  from smoothie or drink)<br />
1 Tb honey (optional)<br />
1 tsp apple cider vinegar  (optional)<br />
Beat until smooth and smear over your face (no make-up) do this at  breakfast time before you get ready for the day… leave it on until it dries  (stiffens J) rinse completely with warm water.  Pat to dry. (can store for 1 or  2 days in fridge if you didn’t use it all up… but if you take it to the shower  with you… use it all over arms, neck… skin exposed to sun to nourish and heal  and soften heels, elbows, neck, etc)<br />
This is an AMAZING facial!  It’s loaded  with vitamins, collagen (active ingredient found in many high priced beauty  creams) if you add the vinegar it stabilizes the ph balance in your face (as it  does for the rest of your body when taken internally) helping with rashes and  acne.</p>
<p><span><span><strong>Anything-On-Hand  Strata</strong></span></span><br />
Mix all the following:<br />
3 eggs beaten<br />
1 ½  C milk<br />
Salt, pepper, dash nutmeg<br />
Sauté garlic and onion and any veggies  you have on hand<br />
Think which veggies go better with which cheeses<br />
Ie:   peppers and tomatoes with pepper jack for a Mexican strata (add cumin and  cilantro)<br />
Tomatoes and mozzarella and fresh basil for Italian (add italian  seasonings)<br />
Spinach and onion with swiss or very sharp cheddar (add herbs de  provence)<br />
Mushrooms onions and fresh goat cheese…<br />
You need at least a cup  of veggies and as much cheese.  Can go more of either or both.</p>
<p>To  make:<br />
For base layer you can use a pie crust (for quiche)<br />
You layer  veggies and cheese then pour over egg/milk mixture over all and bake at 350 for  about 45 minutes until knife inserted comes out clean<br />
For strata you use any  old bread you have.  Grease your pan tear up the bread layer veggies then cheese  then pour egg mix over all.  The above amount should be enough for an 8X8 pan  double it for a 9X 13 amount.<br />
In the strata it puffs like soufflé and you  should serve it immediately as it “falls” but it’s still yummy J</p>
<p><span><span><strong>Perfect Scrambled  eggs for two</strong>:</span></span><br />
4 beaten eggs<br />
¼ C milk<br />
Sauce  pan<br />
1-2 Tb butter<br />
Melt butter in pan add milk to just warm it pour in eggs  stir constantly with a wooden spoon over medium heat until “done” (you know how  you like your eggs, but these will be lighter and fluffier than American style  “Fried scrambled eggs”.  Add salt and pepper even a sprinkle of cheese.   Delicious!  If you do have leftovers save them and mix them in with fried rice  or toss them into chicken soup.</p>
<p><span><span><strong>Angel Eggs</strong></span></span><br />
Cover 6  eggs with water in a medium sauce pan<br />
Bring to a boil and set a timer for 7  minutes for a firm yolk (if you cook them too long the yolks turn sort of  greenish have you ever seen that?)<br />
Drain off water and cool eggs by using  cold water.<br />
Be sure the eggs aren’t too fresh when you boil them as they  won’t peel away from the shell.  If you’re using our eggs wait until the end of  the week as ours are only a couple of days old when they get to you at  most.</p>
<p>Gently cut the eggs in half long ways and remove yolks to a small  bowl.  Arrange whites on a plate.<br />
Smoosh yolks with a fork.<br />
Add 3 Tb  yogurt<br />
1 Tb Dijon mustard<br />
1 clove garlic minced tiny<br />
1 green onion  minced (tiny ones that you grow yourself are best)<br />
¼ tsp cayenne pepper<br />
½  tsp salt<br />
2 Tb parsley chopped (fresh) or 1 tsp dried<br />
Mix all.  If it’s not  “wet” enough add a bit more yogurt until the consistency you like.<br />
Carefully  fill the hole in the white with this mixture form nice peaks.<br />
Arrange nicely  garnish with parsley OR make a big dinner salad and put four halves of egg per  salad prettily arranged.  Great with left over meat you might have on hand  (fancy chef salad)<br />
The cayenne and the garlic are the secret ingredients!   Yummy.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span>1.<span> </span>You will need to purchase glass jars and lids though us for $4 per jar. <span> </span>Each share will require 4 half gallon jars.<span> </span>Two will be brought to the pick up site cleaned, dry and ready for filling and two will be picked up full of milk. <span> </span>We recommend you purchasing a few extra so that you don’t have to clean jars at the last minute. <span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>2.<span> </span>Cleaning is very important.<span> </span>You cleaned jar will sit with the lid on for a week before being filled with fresh milk. <span> </span>If the jar is not cleaned and dried well it may take on an odder that will affect your milk. <span> </span>Please make sure you jars are clean and dry before returning them. <span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><br />
<span>~ Washing dairy with warm water (not hot or cold) is the best way to get the residue out. <span> </span>Then clean in dish washer.</span></p>
<p><span>~ Inspect your jar before returning it to the drop site. If it has any smell other than clean, it needs rewashing.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>3.<span> </span>Make sure your name is clearly marked on the jar lid for easy identification.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>4.<span> </span>If a jar breaks during your pick up it’s your responsibility. <span> </span>You will need to handle the clean up at the pick up site. <span> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span>5.<span> </span>If you don’t return empty jars we will “loan” you jars for up to one week. <span> </span>After that we will need to switch to plastic.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span><span> </span></span></p>

<span class="Apple-style-span"><strong>by Kim Fuhrmann</strong></span></p>
<p>Hello Our Father’s Farm friends!  We appreciate you all so much.  One of the reasons we do what we do is because we believe it is right and good to raise and eat food the way God designed and intended.  It is a pleasure and an honor to be <span style="font-size: 12px;">trusted </span>by you to provide nourishing foods to you and those you love.  It is a blessing to know that, by God&#8217;s grace,  what we do can help your families eat and live healthier lives.  We&#8217;re going to start sending a newsletter with a focus on different nutritional and cooking facts and techniques. There will also be listed monthly food specials or packages.  We&#8217;d love your feedback if you have the time.  God bless you all and thank you so much for your support!</p>
<p>As the flu and cold season wears on we have been learning more and more about bone broth.  Its properties and its benefits are nothing short of amazing!<br />
If you think of the essence of your own body, where the cells are made and grown and  where nutrients are assimilated and distributed so much of that hard work happens inside your bones, in the marrow!  Think of a good rich warm bone broth as a “bone marrow transplant” in a bowl. <img src='http://ourfathersfarmva.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   We all need nutrient dense easy to digest foods whether we’re sick or no.  Many people have raved about juicing in the past.  We juice carrots and apples ourselves realizing the amazing benefits of this process of juicing out the “essence” &#8211;the power from the veggies and fruits.  So consider how healthy the bones of a healthy, grass-fed, virtually unmedicated animals are.  Consider the benefits we can derive from drinking or eating the broth made from the bones of such animals.  </p>
<p>With a marrow broth you enjoy a myriad of health benefits, minerals, and vitamins in a wonderfully easy to make easy to digest and yummy medium.  Broth can be made from many different things.  In all bone broths where you use an acidic medim with the water you can add egg shells from healthy pasture raised chickens.  In beef you can use femur bones which are the biggest and most &#8220;marrow filled&#8221;.  When the marrow is cooked it resembles jelly.  It has an intense delicious flavor and is dark in color.  After I cook marrow bones I remove any meat from the bones and tap the marrow out into the meat mixture then work the marrow into the meat wtih my hands.  You can make this into yummy barbeque by just adding a few seasonings, or you can add that meat back into your broth along with some veggeis for a stew.  For those who are interested, we can send out a longer article written on all the medicinal benefits of broth.</p>
<p>In older times bone broth was a vital medicine and a must-have in sick rooms or to ward off sickness in otherwise healthy people during &#8220;sick seasons&#8221;.  The minerals and nutrients are so easy to digest and assimilate it is like getting a transfusion of good necessary things with every sip!  It is also very easy to make.  You can put your bone and meat pieces into a crock pot frozen and just cover with water add a little vineager to draw out the nutrients and let simmer for 24 &#8211; 72 hours, add salt and it&#8217;s ready to drink or use&#8230; but we&#8217;re getting ahead of ouselves.  The recipe for beef bone broth follows.  This month, because of the myriad of colds, strep, and tummy bugs we have heard about we wanted to offer a</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 18px;">Bone Broth Special</span><br />
consisting of <br />
1 bag beef soup bones (these are random bones with some meat on them)(For this special these are bones from a bull that received a little grain in it&#8217;s life).<br />
1-2 lb&#8217;s beef shanks (this is a piece of meat that is nice slow cooked, with a large bone in the center with some marrow)<br />
1-2 marrow bones (femer bones)</p>
<p>This is $30+ value for $15 to our faithful customers while supplies last.<br />

<p>This year we will be offering farm tours for groups, courses on healthy eating and living, classes on homesteading, and much more.  Let us know if you have a specific subject you think would interest folks.  </p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Raw Dairy</strong></span>:  Our beautiful Jersey Cows are always out in the pasture, breathing in fresh air and eating grass or hay.  Their primary diet is grass.  We do currently feed them a small amount of grain when they come in for milking.  I consider this a &#8220;lactating and pregnant mom supplement&#8221;.  The Jersey breed over the past 100 years has been bred to live on grain, it will take some time for us to breed this out of the cows.  Our third generation Jerseys are going to be born on the farm this year and they will be virtually grain free.  But, for now, we are obliged to feed them grains.  We have taken the &#8220;expensive&#8221; step to give only organic non-soy grains.  Most Raw milk dairies use conventional grains which pass through and into the milk supply.  All conventional grains contain GMO corn and almost always soy as well as many other harmful ingredients.  GMO (genetically modified organisms) are harmful to the environment, the animal and the individual.  It is very tempting, as a farmer, when you need more milk or money to little by little cut corners until you&#8217;re feeding more and more grain and using unhealthy grains.  It&#8217;s tempting becuase cutting these corners does increase profits.  For us, that feels like &#8220;the lowest common denominator&#8221; in what&#8217;s wrong with the modern food system on the whole.  It can&#8217;t be &#8220;about the money&#8221;.</p>
<p>Our grains are certified organic and come from Countryside Natural Products in Warrenton, VA.  They are the only provider in the state.  A 50lb bag costs twice as much as a bag of conventional feed.  I&#8217;m not sharing this info to complain, we love what we are doing and our vision is first to feed our family healthy foods and provide them to you.  So we have the highest standards for ourselves.  I share this so that if you and folks you know who are shopping around for a Raw milk provider will understand that all Raw Milk is not the same.  Someone else&#8217;s prices may be much different, but may also be sacrificing quality by polluting the milk with GMO grains.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Beef:</strong></span>  We will have shares of Beef available in a month or two, put in your reservation now as beef seems to go pretty quickly.  Our price stays the same 45 pounds at $6.50 per pound, plus soup bones and liver if you wan them.  Again, our beef is 100% grass fed, much of the beef sold out there and called Grass fed has had some grain in its life, or the farmer uses the term Grass Finished.  Take the time to know what you are paying for.  We do occasionally offer beef from our old dairy cows or from a bull that may have had a bit of grain in its life, but we always make it clear to you before the sale.  When you order grass fed beef from us that&#8217;s what you are getting.  Why is grass better?  Cows were designed to live on a 100% grass diet. They cannot tolerate or digest a diet rich in grains.  It would be like raising yoru small child on potato chips, soda, and cookies.  He might grow but he wouldn&#8217;t thrive and he wouldn&#8217;t be healthy.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Chickens</strong></span>:  We hope to have Broiler chickens available the last week of April.  We sold out two months ago, so many of you are anxious to get fresh chickens. These chickens are currently fed a non-GMO mix that is not certified organic.  This is the mix that Joel Salatin&#8217;s Polyface farm uses.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Eggs</strong></span>:  We are rolling in beautifuly healthy brown eggs, let us know if you want them added to your order.  We are blessed to have a wonderful egg mobile up and running.  It protects the chickens from predators and provides a warm safe place for them to sleep and lay their eggs.  The house is on wheels so we move it frequently, but the chickens are let out and free range all over the farm every day.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your business and for letting us be your farmers.  We desire to serve you well, please let us know how we are doing or what we can change.  We love questions.  We admire people that are serious enough about their family&#8217;s health and the integrity of their food to ask questions and hold us accountable.  Thank you.</p>
<p>Jack  <br />

<p><span id="lower-content" style="line-height: 18px; font-style: normal; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; color: #0e3030; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Basic Beef Bone Broth</span><br />
To make a good bone broth to sip in a mug or as a base for soup you will need:<br />
a large stock pot or 6-7 quart crock pot<br />
You can just use a few femer bones or whatever you have available for example:<br />
A bag of marrow bones<br />
a shank or so (which is a meaty portion with a bone in the center)<br />
1-2 onions(coarsely chopped)<br />
3-5 cloves of garlic(peeled and coarsely chopped)<br />
¼ C apple cider vinegar (with the mother) OR 1 C of good quality red wine (preferably organic)<br />
good quality sea salt<br />
pepper(corns work well)<br />
Water to at least cover.<br />
You can even add egg shells from nice healthy eggs.  As many as you like, I usually add shells from 3-6 eggs to my broth.  Crush them and add to your mixture.  The acid medium of vinegar or wine will pull calcium, magnesium, potassium etc from the shells into your “Life Juice”</p>
<p>Place the bones in a large stock pot or crock pot. (they can still be frozen)<br />
Add the onion, garlic, salt, pepper and vinegar (or wine) and egg shells <br />
Cover well with water<br />
Simmer<br />
 <br />
After 12-24 hours you can remove any meat from the bones and shank as it should be done.  Return the bones to the liquid and allow to simmer longer for another 24-48 hours.<br />
 <br />
The broth can be done after 12-24 hours, but you will achieve a better flavor as well and a more nutrient dense broth is you let it go longer.<br />
 <br />
Strain out and discard bones and other matter.  The nutrition is now all in the liquid.<br />
 <br />
You can store the broth in glass jars in the fridge or freezer.  In the fridge it will keep 5-7 days.  In the freezer, it will keep for months.  If I freeze broth I put it in the fridge or on the counter to defrost so as not to shock the jar causing it to break.(never in a bowl of water or under running water when it is frozen solid)<br />
 <br />
Basic Bone broth can be enjoyed by the mug.  Season to taste.  If you are feeling ill this is phenomenal medicine!  It is nourishing and so easy to digest! <br />
 <br />
The broth can also the base for sauces and stews.<br />
 <br />
<span style="font-size: 18px;">QUICK French onion soup:</span><br />
2-4 Tb Butter melted in a soup pot<br />
3-4 medium sized onions thinly slices<br />
Sauté onions in butter until they are soft even crisped a bit.  You may want to add a tiny bit of water or a bit of the bone broth to prevent burning.  When onions are nicely softened and browned add ½ up to 1 gallon of broth.  Add salt and pepper to taste. <br />
Garnish this soup with cheesy toast points or home made croutons and sharp cheese… serve with salad.  It is a complete meal all by itself.<br />
 <br />
If you like steaks or roast, never throw the bones away when you’re done.  Steak bones make some of the best flavored broths!  You can have a bag in the freezer in which you collect bones until you have enough to merit a big pot of broth.  Or if there are only a few to feed in your house, make a small pot and you can have a quick easy, super nourishing meal.  Bone broth is lower in protein content, so it isn&#8217;t &#8220;the same&#8221; as eating meat, but our bodies benefit from the rest from meaty protein and enjoy the easier to assimilate &#8220;diluted&#8221; forms of protein in a broth.<br />
ENJOY!   Pour yourselves a mug of delicious bone broth click cups and toast:<br />
&#8220;To your health!&#8221;<br />
God bless you and thank you!<br />

<p><span class="subTitle" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #000000; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Chicken Special!!</span><br />
 We have a new breed of chicken we have raised!  It&#8217;s call a &#8220;Freedom Ranger&#8221; they are so healthy and flavorful! It&#8217;s used in France and Europe as their gourmet &#8220;label rouge&#8221; breed.  Their breasts don&#8217;t get quite as meaty as the traditional broiler we are still raising as well. We have a freezer full of both breeds.  We are offering both breeds at $3.50 per pound so that you can give them a try, in the future the freedom rangers will be a bit higher to cover additional costs of raising them.  The chickens run around 5 pounds each.  We&#8217;re also happy to be able to offer plenty of chicken parts: breast, leg quarter, tender, wing, neck and back packs&#8230; order soon these usually go fast.</p>
<p><span class="subTitle" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #000000; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Raw Milk:</span>  We currently have shares available in our herd of Jersey cows which will enable you to enjoy fresh creamy milk each week.  e-mail us for details and a copy of our contract.</p>
<p><span class="subTitle" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #000000; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Eggs:</span>  We are enlarging our flock of laying hens, but the young ones are not laying yet.  So for now we only have eggs available to our herd share customers.</p>
<p><span class="subTitle" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #000000; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Thanksgiving Turkeys:</span>  We are taking reservations for our delicious Thanksgiving Turkeys, raised healthy and naturally right here on Our Father&#8217;s Farm pastures.  A $20 deposit will reserve you your very own bird that we will raise, process and clean so it&#8217;s all ready for cooking on Thanksgiving day, or freezing for Christmas. <a style="color: #800000; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" href="mailto:%20orders@ourfathersfarmva.com"> orders@ourfathersfarmva.com</a> </p>
<p>Turkey Processing:  Call or email us if you want to come out for turkey processing day.  It&#8217;s a fun day full of hard work and a bit messy <img src='http://ourfathersfarmva.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  but it&#8217;s a great skill to learn how to process your own food and work hard as a family.  Children under 13 need to come with a parent. </p>
<p><span class="subTitle" style="font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia; color: #000000; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">Delivery:</span>  We now provide delivery to Roanoke and Lynchburg once a week.</p>

<p>A 45 pound share of beef consists of a variety of cuts.  T-bone, Rib eye and Sirloin steaks, Roasts, Stew meat, and 15 &#8211; 20 pounds of prime ground beef.</p>
<p>We also have Grass fed beef by the cut, check out our web site for pricing.</p>
