From Ellen Shlagel: “Although having Farmer Russ trapped inside due to rain is like having a grumpy bear in the house, we really needed a little moisture, so I'm thankful for the rain this week. He will be anxious until all of the beds for strawberries are made and the plants are in the ground. Construction on the petting zoo is zooming ahead. It's a little further from the house this year so my walk with heavy milk bottles for the babies will be a longer one, but it will be worth it to have a permanent structure for them. “Speaking of animal babies, Shlagel Farms is going to be handing out flyers with coupons for a discount visit to the farm. We open the farm up in October for school trips during the week and family trips on the weekends. You can visit a working family farm and have a kid safe hay ride, a trip through the petting zoo and turn through the straw maze. Our focus group are ages 2-8, although older kids will appreciate the visit as well. As a family you can pick your own pumpkin and make your own scarecrow if you want. Just bring clothes and we'll have the straw and string. We'll have flyers for you at the market coming soon.”
