With the arrival of warmer weather, the outdoor tasks at the farm begin in earnest. In addition to planting, transplanting and taking out invasive plants, we are preparing for the season opening of the Mercantile.
On Friday, March 19, 2021 from 10:00AM – 2:00PM we will open the Mercantile. Our onsite store features great products such as handcrafted soaps and balms, specialty baked items, jams, and produce in season. Plus we host the work of some local artisans.
In this episode we mentioned our Gardening the Five Feline Farm Way class. If you are not already enrolled, you can still get in at the low introductory price of $19.00. This gives you lifetime access to every lesson we add. The course is growing and the price will too before too much longer.
As always you can keep track of everything at Five Feline Farm through our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) or on our email list. You will get a free downloadable ebook just for signing up.
Until next time,

As the title of this episode suggests, we are starting to see warmer temperatures in East Central Illinois.
Those warmer temperatures allow us to begin the outdoor tasks like removing invasive plant species and burning up the cuttings.
We also have been able to check on the honeybees. We may have lost one colony over the winter, but the other two seem to be doing well. They have plenty of food stores to get them through until pollen and nectar start, but just in case, we added a little more in the form of winter patties.
The Mercantile will re-open on Friday, March 19, 2021 for the season. We will be then be open almost every Friday until Christmas. Keep watching our website, email and social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) for more details.
Two links were mentioned in the podcast.
First is our online gardening course: Gardening the Five Feline Farm Way. It is packed full of videos and information about each step we take here at the Farm to produce all our garden goodness. We are offering a low introductory price of only $19 for lifetime access. As we continue to add lessons, the price will go up.
Second is our Gert’s Garden 2 Go© bags for customers within our delivery area (15 miles from the farm). All of the details are available through the link below.

As usual, we are busy here at the farm.
Until next time,

The long cold days are about to come to an end and we are thankful.
We have also set Friday, March 19, 2021 as the season opening of the Mercantile.
Between those two things, we are working hard to fill our product stock now while we have the chance. As soon as the weather breaks, we have a lot of outside chores to do and we want to have full shelves when we open on the 19th.
Donna has been busy making balms, soaps and shampoo bars. She is creating a new line of botanical scents that are sure to please.
Julia has been in the kitchen testing heritage recipes to add to the menu plus will be stocking up on jam.
All of a sudden, we are not bored any more.
Mark your calendars for March 19. We can’t wait to see everyone.
Stay tuned to our social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) or subscribe to our email list for more details.
Until next time,

P.S. Registration is still open for the low $19 introductory price for our gardening course.
