We are partnering with Bee Local to offer bee keeping classes at the store. More information here: http://www.beelocal.com/classes/
Rooster Relocation Back
We can relocate roosters again! Bring them in a cardboard box with some pine shavings on Wednesday or Saturday and we'll pass them on to our partner who will either keep them in his breeding program or relocate them to other breeding farms he knows. A small percentage end up at auction, an uncertain fate. He can also relocate older or unwanted hens.
ROOSTER DROP OFF SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY
No rooster relocation for the foreseeable future due to circumstances beyond our control.
Rogue & Radius
We have placed our orders for Rogue tools (made from recycled agricultural discs and quality ash wood in the USA) and Radius ergonomic garden tools. They should both be in before the end of January. www.roguehoe.com www.radiusgarden.com

Edible Plant Sale!
Now through early winter is the perfect time time to plant edible trees, shrubs, and vines. To celebrate, we are offering 50% off one of these plants when you buy another. Vegetables excluded, discount on plant of lesser or equal value.
Scheduled Chick Arrivals Are Back
I'm pleased to announce that we will again be able to list on our calendar which breeds and quantities of chicks are scheduled to arrive. This is a very useful tool for planning and managing your flock. In 2013 we will add a new feature listing all of the arrival dates for each breed in addition to the breeds arriving on each delivery.
Better yet, all chicks will be arriving a day earlier (Thursdays) and a day younger (2 days old). This will result in far healthier birds that will thrive at your home or farm!
Preserving
Just in time for your bumper crops of berries, tons of tomatoes, and bushels of beans, we have received our preserving supplies. There are jars, lids, pectin, tools and much more. Best of all, our prices are hard to beat.
