Isabelle & Iris

Yes. It’s been much too long since we’ve posted the latest news on the farm. We have no excuse except, like you, we have been busy enjoying this summer. But on to the business at hand ….

We have settled on names for our beautiful twin heifers. Thanks so much to everyone who sent in suggestions. Who knew there were so many “I” names? You had some wonderful ideas. A few of my favorites that we didn’t choose are Imogene, Ivy, and Jezebelle (love it!).

The two little ones are doing great. They are weaned now and have been moved out of their pens and into the pasture. They are hanging out, enjoying the beautiful weather and greeting visitors coming up the drive. —jh

Harvest

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

What a great harvest market it’s been. Those who have visited or are regular customers know that the Harvest Market at Rockhill has proven to be a wonderful community event. Each Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., about five or six vendors and our Richmond City market manager gather to share the wealth, so to speak. 

Thanks to our regular vendors, we have had a beautiful vegetables, fruits, flowers, herbs, photographs and much more. Between out-of-town visitors and Richmond locals, we’ve consistently had between 65 and 120 or so market-goers each Saturday. 

Yes, we are small. We think that makes the experience all the better. And we are definitely the real deal. In fact, we got to thinking. We may be the only farmers market in Utah that is actually held on a farm. 

So, we’ll continue at least until Oct. 17. A little rain won’t keep us from opening the farm gates. So come visit. See the calves, check out our underground cheese aging room and please help us pick some of our cherry tomatoes! —jh
