See you at the Avery County Farmers Market today, 3-6p behind the fire station.

Boxes come out to ~6oz
Uglies today are $5 a box of mix oyster
$10 box Sh*take, oyster, lionsmane

Quail Eggs: 18 eggs and prep scissors for $5.

Quail eggs have 2.5x the protein of a chicken egg, and are a bakers dream when making "chewy or fluffy" treats.
Dogs (and cats) love them hard boiled! They only take a few minutes to boil!

I still have some 14 blend mushroom tinctures left on sale in person. Regularly $45, they are on sale for $20 at the markets. This is the same extraction used in mushroom coffee, but you can put it into any drink or enjoy directly below your tongue.

Hey folks,

We will not be at Avery County Farmers Market today. We had a good week on the farm and are mostly sold out of eggs and mushrooms. We have a limited supply of blue/snow oyster mushroom available at the farm for pickup, and if you are in the Banner Elk area, you can find our quail eggs at the Apple Hill Farm Outpost shop across the street from Joe Nittis Red Caboose.

Apple Hill Farm Outpost – A Downtown Marketplace Featuring Local Foods, Alpaca Goods & Artisan Gifts. Open Daily 10–6.

We're sorry to say that our boy Yang has passed. He fought hard for 3.5 days but his little body just couldn't kick into recovery after surgery.

Yang was just 5 years old, we celebrate Cinco De Meowo for all three of our cats.

Truly a unique blend of personality. He was smarter than the average cat, he enjoyed hikes, he enjoyed getting to know every person and animal in the room. He knew no stranger.

His attacker was a familiar dog, a dog he was friendly with, and has been around on many occasions. Unfortunately due to his nature, his defenses were down, and his senses were signaling friendly dog! Unfortunately the breed of dog and the history of the dogs behavior around cats when humans are not present, led to Yang being the victim of a dog breed that was specifically bread to hunt and kill, even friendly and familiar "friends".

While we hold no ill feelings to the dog, or the dog owner even, we hope that this incident helps further the need for a form of leash law or containment law for dogs in Avery County. We will be strongly advocating for some sort of protection and punishment for these kinds of cases.

Thank you for asking about him and being there with us in your thoughts and prayers, we're truly blessed to have a wonderful community of people here in Avery County.

We'll be at First Chair Coffee Shop for the pop-up market 10a - 4p tomorrow on Beech Mountain!

Quail Eggs, Mushrooms, Tinctures!

Update on our best boy Yang.

He has made it through major surgery, and after a brief sepsis scare he is coming to his senses and recovering. A very long road ahead for him as he has another few weeks of critical status based on his injuries. We're thankful he has made it this far, and we hope he gets to come home soon. A huge huge thank you for the folks at CARE Charlotte Animal Referral & Emergency - truly a miracle and a blessing that he is still with us.

Dear Avery County Farmers Market friends and family, we unfortunately had an emergency this morning, and will not be able to make it to todays market.

Please keep Yang our trail guide cat / people person / best friend / and overly dressed all the time Tuxedo Cat, in your thoughts and prayers. He is currently fighting his hardest fight to-date.
