2013 At Green Mountain Girls Farm

In 2013 our hens laid...

More than 10,000 eggs.

Enough eggs to cover a tennis court, sunny-side up, with some left over for breakfast.

In fact, since the farm started selling eggs the hens have laid enough eggs to cover the entire infield of a baseball field with sunny-side up eggs.

In 2013 we grew more than 10,000 pounds of produce

Including...

More than 2000 pounds of root veggies

That's enough to completely fill the back of a Subaru Forester with mashed potatoes.

And we grew...

More than 1000 pounds

of leafy greens

That's enough to fill 4 whole refrigerators with salad

Plus we grew...

628 pounds of peppers

Including enough hot peppers to make 24 gallons (380 jars) of hot sauce... which we did.

Along with...

3344 pounds of tomatoes.

That's more than most cars weigh, half the weight of a 30 foot racing sailboat, and 50 times the weight of farm-dog Uno.

We couldn't have done it without our fabulous team.

In 2013 we produced...

2,000 pounds of chicken

In 2013 our goats produced...

750 gallons of milk.

In 2013 we put up...

800 jars of pickles,

300 jars of salsa, and

400 quarts of tomatoes as

sauce, paste, puree, juice,

and bloody mary mix.

With that much milk you could fill 30 bathtubs with Honey Sage Gelato.

That's enough chicken (between roasting, soups, salad, and casseroles) to throw a dinner party for everyone in Northfield, Williamstown, and Brookfield at once.

Over the course of 2013, 14 farmers worked on-and-off to make what we do possible - from itinerant picklers to skid steer masters it takes all sorts.

(Thanks for returning all those jars this year. Keep bringing them back and we'll keep filling them up!)

Here's to bounty and blessing in the coming year. We look forward to sharing it with you.
