Hello again, and greetings from the farm.

It's been a real winter down in Congerville, with plenty of ice and snow, and a lingering cold, wet spring . . . but Henry's greenhouse is getting greener by the day with seedlings that will soon be transplanted into the black bottomland and launched on their way to satisfying your stomach, and your soul, at the first market come mid-May.

Already the day length is speaking to our feathered friends, both duck and chicken, and they are responding with lots and lots of eggs for our neighboring organic farmers Dennis and Emily Wettstein. I will have those eggs available for pick-up this Saturday at 442 W. Aldine (2 blocks north of Belmont, between Broadway and LSD) from 10 to 2. The Chicken Eggs are $4.50/dozen and the Duck Eggs $8.00. Call when you're on your way, so I can guide you behind the building and meet you there.

Happy Spring,
Terra
