127-Report From The Bee Yard

It has been a busy week here at Five Feline Farm. We are in full swing with the Farmer’s Market and our onsite store.

In this episode we discuss another large part of our Farm: Honeybees. We completed a major reset of one of our hives and it was an adventure!

Don’t forget to monitor all of our social media accounts for daily news updates. We will also be posting the Saturday scone flavors as well as the Friday Farm baked goods special. June 19, 2020 we will debut English Muffins. Available by pre-order only and in limited supply.

Until next time….

126-Farmer’s Market Plus Farm Improvements

Market season is in full swing. This episode discusses our first Saturday at the 18th Street Farmer’s Market and what we are doing at the Farm.

We are continuing to be open at the farm on Fridays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, then at the 18th Street Farmer’s Market on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

For the time being, at the Farm we will have a limited set up in the crib so that everyone can be outside and safe. Most Fridays we will have a baked item available to order that is not offered at the market on Saturday. Watch our social media for more information on what is offered week to week. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) We will also add these items to our online Mercantile.

Stay safe everyone.

Until next time….

125-Finding Our Business Sweet Spot

As a business, Five Feline Farm is always working to improve and expand. Sometimes in that effort, we find ourselves stretched beyond what we can manage.

This episode shares some of our thoughts about what we have tried to do and how we are making changes to remain true to ourselves.

Don’t forget to monitor our social media feeds (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) for up to date information on what we have available at the Mercantile and 18th Street Farmer’s Market. We will be re-joining the Farmer’s Market this Saturday, June 6, 2020.

On Fridays, we will be open at the Farm, either outside or inside the Mercantile from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

A huge shout out and thank you to everyone who is sticking by us in these times of change.

Until next time…..
