Does anybody else feel like the past few weeks have been busier than any other time of the year?  I think my boys have had one sort of special school-year-end activity nearly every day.  No wonder I'm exhausted and behind on my beef duties (and e-mails)!

I HAVE finally sorted, inventoried and packed up beef for the month.  We have more beef in stock  than we have for the last couple months.  Inventories are updated on the online order page.  Order soon for the best chance to get your desired cuts.

Dewberry Festival Market replaces Brazos Market for this month:  Being on the Ag committee of the Cameron Chamber of Commerce, I am heading up Cameron’s first-ever farmer’s market at the city’s annual Dewberry Festival on May 19th.  The market will run from 8:30-1:00, with the Festival activities continuing on until 4:00.  There will be activities for all ages including: Bicycle Decorating Contest and Parade; Pet Parade; Arts & Crafts Booths; Classic Car Show; Food Booths; live Entertainment; Horseshoe Tournament; Youth Fishing Tournament ; Farmer's Market and Free Dewberry Cobbler and Ice Cream. There is also a Dewberry Cobbler and Cake Auction following the Cake and Cobbler Bake-Off, with monies from the auction to benefit the Milam County Child Welfare Board. 
            We still have some vendor spots for home or professional gardeners and producers, if you would like to sell at this market (no stall fees this year!).  Contact me or the Cameron Chamber of Commerce for an application form.    
 
Special Village Foods Delivery Point:  For those of you who cannot make it to the Dewberry Festival, I will be making a special CSA and order delivery to Village Foods on Wednesday, May 16, from 12:30-1:00. My husband, Ralph, will be in the parking lot, with our“Wild Type Ranch” Honda Ridgeline to delivery your order.  

Eggs, eggs, eggs! Our girls have been working overtime and for once, we are well-stocked with eggs.  For on-line orders and purchases at the Dewberry festival, we are having an unprecedented sale of $3.00/dozen, while supplies last.  Price will be adjusted on your invoice. 

Changes to Pack Ordering: Due to our decreased volume this year, we find we are having difficulty filling packs with the specified cuts.  Consequently we will now be filling packs at the beginning of the month's beef cycle only. Pack orders placed before the 10th of the month will be filled for the current month's deliveries.  Pack orders placed after the 10th of the month will be filled for the following month's delivery.  
 
Special Items in stock this month:  We have beef fat (for rendering), a beautiful whole tenderloin roast and oxtail in stock in limited quantities.  We also have summer sausage back in stock (and stocked at Dyer Mercantile).

REMEMBER TUPPERWARE? As we prepare to move into our new house, which was constructed with many 'green' features, it has renewed our commitment to lower our impact on the environment.  Reduce, reuse, recycle!  So, I am now selling Tupperware, as well as beef.  You can browse and order on-line through my personal page:  www.my.tupperware.com/sarafaivredavis.  Did you know that all Tupperware sold in the US is BPA-free?
