This just in from the farmers at New Roots Farm in Newmarket:
The Great New Roots Farm Acorn Drive is underway! Troubled by a driveway and lawn filled with acorns? It’s a banner year for oak trees and the acorn crop is out of control. I have always been fascinated by [2] Spanish acorn-finished pork.
Today I …was at the playground with my little boy and noticed that the ground was covered with acorns. It took ten minutes to gather a recycling bin’s worth. Thus, an idea was born. If the kids are driving you nuts (ha, ha), send them outside to gather a bag or bucket of acorns. We’ll collect them until the end of market season at the [3] Portsmouth and [4] Exeter Farmers’ Markets. The child or family who gathers the most acorns will get a tour of New Roots Farm and be able to meet all of our pasture-raised animals.
Spread the word!
