Hey, guys! Have you been eagerly anticipating the news of this year's strawberries?? Well, we've heard from the farmers!! We'll be getting them on Saturday April 20th between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. They will be freshly picked (fully ripened) that morning and will need to be picked up that evening at Mountain Crest Park on the corner of Durango and Lone Mountain. For those of you who live outside of Vegas, we will have them available for pickup the next morning in New Harmony, Utah at 951 South 3500 East. Please be prompt in pickup - I know that delivery times can fluctuate, but we will try to keep everyone up to date on progress. If anyone would like to volunteer to pickup strawberries for a different location in the valley, I know that there are plenty of us trying to save on gas money. Let me know you are interested and your location, and I'll connect you with others in that location. Likewise, if you are in a different part of the valley and would like to participate in a group pickup, let me know as well.
Money needs to be received by me before April 15th. Cost is $17 a flat, 12 overloaded pints in a flat! :) Last year, we ordered a lot of extra cases, so if you miss the deadline, contact me and we'll see if we have any extra for you. But, last year we ordered 50 extra flats, and we were all sold out by the time we were actually delivering and the farmer was nice enough to give us more extra. I cannot guarantee how much extra we will have, so try to get your order in AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
So - info needed for me. Send me an email with your name, your order, your location, and how you'd like to be contacted the day of delivery for updates. Then, send your payment to me ASAP! (Ask me in the email for my physical address!!)
Also, we will have our farm fresh eggs available for $3 a dozen, and we also have diatomaceous earth (food grade) at $3 for a 3 pound bag. If you are interested in either of these, please order before hand so we can have it ready for you when you come! :)

Local Lamb and Beef
Hi Everyone
It's TIME TO ORDER YOUR GRASS FED BEEF AND LAMB
We are taking orders for more lamb and beef from our partnered rancher in Northern Nevada. Many of you have asked if you can order a 1/4 , 1/2, or full cuts. The answer is YES. But, I'll need to let the rancher know by the end of this month.
We just received our supply of fresh / frozen of both at our Cowboy Trail Farm. We have received all the various cuts such as lamb chops, ground lamb, breakfast sausage, roasts, beef steaks, roasts, and ribs, and ground beef.
Call us before you head out to purchase so we can pull and reserve the cuts you request. All packages are in one pound increments, except for the roasts. The costs will vary and I will quote you when you call to reserve you order. Average costs are $8 / $10 per pound and up.
If you prefer to order a 1/4 of the beef or lamb, you will save more.
Call me to reserve your order or if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Marilyn / Cowboy Trail Farms

Apple Orders!
The Washington apples have been accepting orders for their apples. Order info for those who forgot:
Apples in a Seed Farms offers 3 different kinds of apples: Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, and Fuji. They come in 40 pound boxes and are "field run" apples, meaning they are a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, and/or may have other small defects. They are washed and cleaned, and are the same apples you've gotten previously. You will be notified by email when and where to pickup your order. Golden Delicious and Fuji apples are $27.50 a box. Honey Crisp apples are $32.50 a box. The Golden Delicious and Honeycrisps are generally delivered within the first 2 weeks of October; the Fujis are in December. You MUST get your order in today for the Honeycrisp and Goldens. The Fujis deadline is November 21, but I'd recommend signing up sooner than later as they can sell out before then...go to www.applesinaseed.com to order!
As far as New Harmony apples go, we've been researching about a bulk order through some of the apple farmers here, but so far, we haven't been able to find someone able to handle the amount of boxes we'd be ordering. BUT, the good news IS anyone can come and pick up their own box at the NEW HARMONY APPLE FESTIVAL on October 13 - the festival starts at 10 am, and will have lots to see, showcasing the local farmers' apples by the box, and apple cider to boot! Since New Harmony is only a couple of hours away from you Vegasites, I thought I'd share the news and give you the chance to try out some of Utah's finest apples! There IS an organic apple farmer that sells apples in a box for you, but he will not be at the festival - you can travel a short distance to his farm to pickup. :)
I also have one 5 gallon bucket of the raw honey from Wyoming, very light and sweet. It is the same honey as the one-gallon buckets, but for someone who might go through honey a bit quicker - THIS IS NOT THE DARK HONEY THAT WE SOLD EARLIER IN THE YEAR. Please let me know if you are interested. It is 5 gallons, which means it's roughly 62 pounds, and is $150. Let me know if you'd like us to bring it down for you.
I think that's it for now! :)

Peaches Order!!
This year, we will be offering Leed's Elberta Peaches again (same farmer as last year). Elberta peaches won the title for the "best canning peach" because of their skins slipping right off after blanching(and it really is easy, I was amazed). They are a delicious, juicy "peachy" flavor, and generally speaking, they are BIG sized peaches. One 20 pound box is $25. I realize that this is a bit on the pricey side, but you do get what you pay for. A nice sized, juicy, peach! And remember that this family is using organic pesticides on their trees (and nothing is sprayed on any of their other produce). We love supporting farmers making great choices! Oh, delivery is tentatively set for August 25th at the Mountain Crest Park. If you live in a different area, but would still like to participate, please let me know as we are trying to set up pickup points for different areas, and will let you know if there is a closer pickup to you. If you would like to volunteer to be a pickup for your area, that would be great! I would love someone from Henderson, Summerlin, SW area, Southern Highlands, and maybe North Las Vegas. Email me for address to send payments to.
As most of you remember, last year, the O'Henry peaches were killed in a late frost. I have even more bad news - this year, the farm has decided to no longer sell peaches. We lost that contact. Herein lies our dilemma. We LOVE our O'Henry peaches. We searched out a new farm in California that sells them, and we found one. But, our order needs to be at least 200 boxes for us to be able to do it. So, if you are interested in these peaches, please let me know how many you will be buying, and we'll see if we can make the order - and SPREAD THE WORD. :) They will be $20 for a 20 pound box. O'Henry's are described as having a nectarine-like taste. But, I would describe them as being ULTRA-sweet, and delicious to eat fresh. I LOVE them! They work great in canning, but my favorite way to preserve them is to freeze them. You don't have to add any sugar, because they are already so sweet. Now they don't come in super big sizes like the Leeds peaches do, but they come in a mix of sizes from small to big. If we get enough interest in the O'Henrys, we'll place the order and get it going for around the first week in September.
Let me know which ones you are interested in.

Honey Order! (Peaches soon)
k, our honey order is on! We have spoken to our honey man, and we will be picking up the honey around the 1st week of September, unless our order is a smaller order, in which case it may be delivered later in the month of September. What we normally do is pickup the honey, and then bring it down with our next order (which will be peaches, most likely). So, we are collecting moneys now until the 1 of September (call me if you receive this info later than this date, and I'll see what I can do).
Now, this honey is from Wyoming, and it is deliciously light and sweet, and RAW. If it is not in solid form when you get it, it WILL solidify soon after. I recommend moving it into smaller containers unless you use honey all of the time, and do not mind it's solid state. For our family, I move it into the large-mouth pint jars because I like the small glass containers that you can heat up if you want (without heating ALL of it), and the straight necks allow you to take advantage of EVERY LAST YUMMY bit. :)
They come in 1 gallon, food-grade plastic buckets, and are $31 each. Let me know how much you'd like, and send your money as quickly as possible (email me for address)
Please pass this on to anyone that might be interested, as we'd like to get as big an order as possible, so we can be on the first shipment! :)
I'll be sending on info about peaches soon, so keep your eyes peeled! :)

Tomatoes Update!
If you are placing an order for tomatoes, or are taking orders for a group of people, please take note that our delivery date has been changed to one week ahead of schedule - the farmer expressed concerns about the heat lowering the quality of the tomatoes, and wanted to make sure everyone got good quality tomatoes, so instead of delivery on August 4, we will be delivering on July 28th, next Saturday. I know that there will be schedule conflicts, and I'm sorry. As it is for us, Josh will have to request off work to do it, so we're not so thrilled ourselves about it, but what can you do. Harvest time is NOT always convenient, and it seems that it is NEVER predictable. :) So, wrap up your orders and get them to me asap. If any of you have ordered and made payments, but cannot arrange for a pickup on the new delivery date, let me know, I will refund your money. Any questions? Oh, time is still unconfirmed because, our pickup time depends on our order total - if it's bigger, it takes longer for them to pick it. We are hoping for no later than early afternoon. I'll try to firm up a time within the next few days after I get a rough order count.

Tomato Order!
Hey, guys - thanks for being so patient with us this summer - we've had lots to do on the farm! So, here are some orders coming up...
This month, we'd like to do a tomato order again - We'll say the money needs to be in by the 31st. The day of delivery will be sometime that week; we need to see how many orders we get before we firm up the time and date. The tomatoes are 20 lb. boxes, and the tomatoes are NOT sprayed with any pesticides - the boxes are $20 each. They are wonderful tomatoes, and the great thing about it this year (as opposed to last year) is that the farmer will be picking them EARLY in the morning so they maintain better quality and will travel better. You can also specify if you want your box of all ripened tomatoes, most ripened and some under, or all slightly underripe. This will help if you don't plan on canning them right away or if you wanted to eat some now and some later. We're thinking that delivery will be that Saturday morning, but we just have to confirm with the farm, otherwise it might be the Friday instead. We'll keep you posted, though. Please send in your orders to me asap; send money to Elizabeth Kay, 951 South 3500 East, New Harmony, Utah 84757.
Peach orders are coming up in August, and honey will be around August/September as well, so keep checking your emails! Also, how did everyone like the pears last year? Should we do the order again? Please let me know if you are interested...
Any questions? Shoot me an email! :)

Upcoming Bulk Food Orders by Elizabeth Kay
First - orders - our next REGULAR order is the fresh strawberries again in April. From now until then is completely open, so I'm welcoming any ideas for items you need in your storage - it can be freeze-dried foods, freeze-dried meals, herbs/spices, grains, beans, etc., or we can look into bulk ordering for something bigger like a sun oven, pressure canners, wheat grinders, etc. Or we can stock up on some medical supplies. Really, you can throw anything out there that you're interested in, and I'll find out if it's worth it to do a bulk order with it or not.
Meanwhile, I do still have some things from leftover orders so let me know if you are interested in any of the following:
And food storage geek is doing an order for natural beef (by the cow), and for coconut oil(if you are interested in learning about the REAL benefits of coconut oil, let me know, and I'll do a post about it. email me for more info on these orders...
I know I've been a bit sporadic regarding my blog, but I'm getting better - instead of having to look it up, you can sign up for updates, and that way it will be sent to your email whenever I update it. My blog is www.crazykranch.blogspot.com.
We've had some people ask us lately if we offer training for emergency preparedness/self-reliance representatives, and good news! We do! Let us know if you are having trouble getting started or need some ideas to get everyone thinking and excited instead of overwhelmed. We'd be glad to help! Is there any else I can do for you right now? I will be starting a preparedness/reliance series on my blog soon, so stay tuned for this!
Hope everything is going well for everyone. Hang in there, and remember - self reliance is the KEY to free agency...

Last year, I started buying my beef from some ranches that I felt fed their cattle the way I wanted, and I liked knowing my food was fresher - I also appreciated the challenge of utilizing a cow better, rather than being a type of person that uses only a few select cuts. Anyways, I enjoyed my experience so much, but have had a challenge of finding a similar avenue for chicken. Plus, I don't have a big enough freezer yet. :) But, because of this, I've always just bought organic chicken -- WAY expensive, but I just tried to figure out how to cheapen everything else to make this work. But, I just came across this neat business - it's kind of like what we do, but it's with meat! They offer one special per month, and they have locations all over, including Las Vegas, and all over Utah! The only catch is, you buy in bulk, just like our orders. So, I decided to sign on and see what kinds of things I come across. This month is bacon - it sounds delicious, but I KNOW I won't use that much bacon, so I'm trying to see if any of my family members are interested. I thought I'd pass this interesting idea on, in case some of you were interested in the same thing. Sounds interesting, we'll see. I've heard that they have great high quality stuff, but we'll see. It's on my list to try it! :) If you are interested, click on this link (or cut and paste), and it will take you to it. When you go to it, if they ask for a referral, will you put in my code? It's: self-reliant network. Please don't feel pressured to go sign up, i know this isn't everyone's type of thing, it was just a thought.

Also, if you are interested in beef/meat orders, let me know - there are a few people in the valley that coordinate orders for bulk beef, and I'll forward you the info! :)

Raw Honey & Pear Orders by Elizabeth Kay
First, we are rounding up the raw honey order, so if you are wanting any, get a hold of me asap - money is due by Friday. Honey will be delivered either this weekend or next, depending on Honeyman's schedule, weather, etc. So, I'll keep you posted as to when I get it. I can almost taste it... :)
For pears, we didn't hit our mark as far as orders go, but we spoke with the farmer and are going ahead with an order. These pears are Bartlett(the green ones), they are from Utah, and they come in a half-bushel (around 27 pounds). Each box is $20. We are taking orders/payments until next Monday, and are planning on picking them up next weekend, again, depending on the farmer. If you are opening this order to your ward, feel free to give them my email address, number, etc. I know this is short notice, but just let me know if you need a little more time, and I'll see what I can do. I have always canned my pears, but I heard from someone in the network that pear jam is delicious. I just might try it this year. :) Oh, and one last thing - because the farmer was still willing to work with us even though we didn't hit the order number he needed, let's try to spread the word as much as we can so hopefully, we get the number anyway. :) That would be a nice surprise for him...
Hope you all are enjoying your harvest season as much as I am!! I'll be all pooped out by the end of it all. But, my pantry will be full... :)

Beets & Carrots (Food Sourcing)
My name is Pat Fairbairn. I live in Las Vegas and Kingman. I was buying some canning jars at the store in Las Vegas this weekend and a Master food processor identified herself to me. I did some research and came up with your website and email. In Arizona I am working with a grower. We are cleaning out the fields for the next planting. We have a considerable quantity of beets and carrots. I was wondering if your group would be interested in purchasing some of these. We have been selling to small markets in Las Vegas and Mohave Valley. We are not certified organic because we have not applied and paid for the certs. We may this next year as we are expanding from 6 acres to 21 acres.
If you are interested you can contact me at 928-757 v-0516. We are going to pull them up by this Friday. I'm very interested in your group. I've been making pickles for the past 5 weeks trying to use up some of the produce we have been hauling in. I hope I have time to take you course when available.
Sincerely,
Pat F.

Pears Anyone? by Elizabeth Kay
So, we've accidentally come across a farmer that sells Bartlett pears in bulk - I've never really thought about pears, but someone jumped at the chance to order when I mentioned it to them, so I thought I'd check and see if people would be interested in an order. The pears are Bartlett, they come from California, and I believe they come in 22-24 pound boxes. They would be around $16 each, I think. I'm getting a firmer price from him right now, but I just wanted to see if there was interest in this sort of order. I'm not guaranteeing anything just yet - just seeing how many orders we might be able to come up with. Let me know if you are interested and about how many boxes you would want.
Thanks!
