Hope

Like most people I know, I've adhered to the stay at home strategy of not getting and passing around Covid-19.   

In that time  I've had plenty of time to work on my garden ideas and have already started some plants - perhaps a bit early.  But seeing these little stems climb up from a seemingly dead brown seed fills me with hope... for all of us.  

I like these little expandable peat pellets.  I've used them for many years with good results.  Once the plants get going I feed them with an organic plant food.

My little self-serve egg stand has been very popular.  I've also put some bottles of maple syrup in the container for sale.  Sorry if the labels get a little wonky from the damp!

Stay safe my friends.  Please take good care of yourselves.  Stay home.  And I look forward to meeting with you on the other side of this difficult time.  

Brown And Green Eggs For Sale - Self Serve

 My chickens are laying like crazy - usually about two dozen a day - and I have lots of wonderful eggs for sale!  I live on Snowman Road, Coudersport, Pennsylvania.  

We're pretty easy to find but do NOT take any GPS route that takes you on Black Hole Road!  Go around.  Black Hole Road is aptly named - it is a no winter maintenance road and at this time of year the mud will be up to your hubcaps. 

Come to Snowman Road.  You can't miss my little egg "stand" when you drive down.  This setup allows people to help themselves and, because it's along the road, it keeps the dogs from jumping on cars and people during this muddy season!

Be sure to tightly close the cooler!

And boy, oh boy, are these eggs pretty and delicious!  Look how deep yellow those yolks are!

You'll get spoiled. 

I bring out the eggs in the morning and if there are any left I bring them back and put them in the refrigerator at night.  

Here's an interesting note.  If you plan to hard boil your eggs, you'll find eggs that are at least seven days old peel easier.  Grocery store eggs can be a month old or even older.

The dogs love driving out to the egg stand  LadyBird thinks she's in charge!

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

Fitzgerald's Family Farm Will Not Be Participating In The March 21 & 22, 2020 Potter Tioga-Maple Weekend

We are very sorry to say that due to a family death and a strict work schedule we will not be participating in the March 21 & 22, 2020 Potter-Tioga Maple Weekend.  We definitely plan to be part of this great event next year and in future years.

We still have maple syrup in glass bottles available for purchase. 

There are still many wonderful sugar houses to visit in Potter and Tioga counties.  You can find a map and more information about them here on the Potter - Tioga Maple Producer's Association website.
