Here’s a story I did for www.sprig.com. You can find local lamb by going to www.localharvest.org and typing in your zip code. Here in the Lexington area you can purchase locally raised organic lamb from Elmwood Stock Farm at the Lexington Farmer’s Market.

From our latest newsletter…

Hope to see you Saturday morning to celebrate the first produce offerings.

For CSA members, we’re gearing up for the first pickup on Thursday, May 22nd from 3 pm until 7 and will have some wonderful fresh produce and eggs for you to enjoy.

You will receive an email with details about your basket next week. Instead of using boxes this year we decided to utilize reusable shopping totes and encourage our customers to bring their own tote (or basket) if they wish. We have some for CSA members offered at our cost, which is $2.50. Of course, we have plastic and paper bags on hand for backup.
