Pine Row Farm of Rothbury
Hello :-),
We’re extremely grateful that we got some rain, and that it was perfect, slow and gentle rain for parched soil to absorb. We need regular, substantial rainfall at this point, however, to mitigate the shortfall. Our pastures have shut down, and we’re feeding the hay that we’d stored for winter.
We will accept orders until 5pm on Friday. If you miss the deadline or prefer to shop in person, I do bring a selection of what’s available every Saturday. I will plan to get totals emailed out by 9:30pm on Friday. If you don’t get a response from me, please contact me. We accept cash or check payable to Pine Row Farm.
