Today some kind soul visited Little Sprouts while we were away, and left some goodies. Upon arriving home late this afternoon we discovered a bag of small oranges, 2 paper grocery bags of acorns, and a large trash bag full of leaves and acorns. There was no note that we could find, just the bags sitting right outside our gate.
If anyone knows who left these, please share! We definitely appreciate the generosity. Acorns are in high demand right now as hog feed, as the local trees made virtually NO acorns this year. We can certainly use any and all acorns we can get. But... I do need to make sure they are organically raised before feeding to the hogs. Most acorns are, but it never hurts to be sure.
So please let us know if you have any information on who we can thank for the kind gift :)
I should add.. if you know of anyone with acorns in southern Oregon area, please please let us know. I would love to find a source of a few tons of acorns to add to our hog feed. Acorn fed pork is often said to the the best tasting pork available, and it certainly is the most natural.
We do offer a big THANK YOU to the kind soul that left the acorns and oranges!
Follow along our adventure as we make the transition from corporate city life to the world of natural farming. Each day brings a new experience and brings us to a deeper understanding about the life and spirit that made America great. At our farm we do our best to give the animals we raise a natural, free, happy, stressfree lifestyle. Our mission is to learn and share how to manage a farming operation that is both profitable and humane.
Mystery solved!
ReplyDeletethe package was indeed left by one of the "friends of Lieelt Sprouts Farm" who had helped us with acorns in the past.
A big thank you goes to them! the pigs LOVED munching on fresh acorns:)
