From Kyle at Wedel Grazing Acres: “We’ve added cured smoked ham steaks. Great for the grill or oven. Our favorite recipe is to marinate in equal amounts lemon juice, brown sugar and horseradish for few hours then throw on the grill for 6-8 minutes each side!!!”

From Bob with Country View Dairy: “Just added five new yogurt flavors (Lime, Peach, Blueberry, Black Cherry & Raspberry) in 3 lb economy/family-size tubs.”

From Julie at Zaza’s Pasta:”I’ve added several new items – single serving frozen entrees featuring local, Iowa produce and/or meats. They include 1) Zucchini Parmigiana with Spaghetti Aglio Olio; 2) Farmer’s Market Veggie Lasagne; and 3)Sausage & Peppers with Couscous. I’ve also added Basil-Pine Nut Pesto and Pesto-Pomodoro Focaccia.”

From Jake and Amber at Good Shepard Grass Farm: “We’ve been busy here on our farm. Besides the normal raising of chickens and cattle, we added aronia berries (by the hundreds), asparagus (by the thousands), and nut/fruit trees (by the hundreds). It’s been an exciting time. Note:  we have chicken breasts (limited quantity) and we’ve processed some new beef for this summer, so we’ve temporarily lowered steak prices from beef from our last processing while supplies last!”

From Julie at Broadhorn Farm: “Thanks to all our customers for their patronage and patience as we grow our Belted Galloway beef herd. After taking a break last cycle, we are back with Short Ribs on sale for $3.69/lb (regularly $5.50) and Rump Roast on sale for $3.83/lb (regularly $6.50).

Wedel Grazing Acres is running a sale on New York Strip steaks, $13.99/lb (regularly $16.50/lb).

Yoke S Ranch has a sale on hamburger patties (perfect for grilling) from their Corriene beef herd – regular price is $5/lb; marked down to $4.50. Rick writes: “We finally were able to get going in the hay fields. We baled over 300 bales in 5 days. We need about 800 1500 lb bales to feed the cattle this winter, so we still have a ways to go.”

From Jocelyn at Pickle Creek Herbal: “I’ve added a new infused olive oil for this cycle—Greek Oregano & Garlic. We’ve been making this oil for the past several years, but we’ve been sold out since February due to its popularity. We’ve been waiting and waiting to harvest our oregano so we could start making this oil again, and finally it’s back!”

Lee at The Berry Patch Farm writes “We will have greenhouse tomatoes, strawberry hanging baskets, some herbs, and best of all some black raspberries.”

Chef Connie’s Urban Farm added kohlrabi and beets this cycle, and Maxwell Farms has Yukon Gold new potatoes.

LaVentosa Ranch is taking this cycle off (the Marshall County fair is the week of delivery).

Broadhorn Farm is taking off as well because they sold most their product to a group that follows the Weston A. Price dietary guidelines (www.westonaprice.org/basics/dietary-guidelines). They hope to have more processed meat in their freezer in the next two weeks.
