Eggs, not just any old egg, oh no, these are Full Circle Farm chickens on rye pasture eggs with the most brilliant yoke color you have EVER seen. Caroline bought 100 new hens a few months ago, from a farm where they fed high quality feed from day one. These gals were a couple months from laying eggs instead of 6 months for baby chicks. She paid a pretty penny for these awesome birds and now she is reaping the rewards, an abundance of eggs. So we have lots of em and want you to buy up. No restriction on eggs from FCF for a while we hope. Also, an awesome sale on Eden Farm Soy Free, Non-GMO eggs: Buy 3 dozen eggs, save $7, in other words, buy 2 dozen eggs get one free!
Puppies: Lily has 3 left in a litter, 1 girl and 2 boys. They will be ready to go at the end of January. $350 dollars for high quality dogs with zero shots etc. Be in touch immediately if interested.
Sweet Potatoes are dug for the season but we still have some left. No budnip on these tators, just the goodness, none of the bad.
Farm Stay at Full Circle: See below the testimonial from a family that stayed in the cottage next
door. We have simple camping facilities here but if camping is not your thing we now have you covered as well. To get in contact with our neighbor, Miss Ellie about booking her cabin please e-mail her at emeyers772@aol.com.
Miss Ellie’s bed and breakfast was a charming and cozy cottage that our family of four fully enjoyed for two nights. Miss Ellie’s hospitality was above and beyond. Her smoothies and potato casserole
leaves you wanting more. Miss Ellie was informative and gladly shared her knowledge with us about her gardens. She helped organize a tour of Full Circle Farm which is within walking distance of the cabin. Dennis and Alicia who own and run Full Circle Farm with their children, were very inviting and shared their knowledge of a better way to farm. The overall experience at Miss Ellie’s and Full Circle Farm was wonderful. Our girls are already asking when we can go back. We highly recommend
you stay at Miss Ellie‘s cottage and tour Full Circle Farm.”

New Brochure: We have the first draft of our brochure ready and printed. Ask our delivery driver, Barry, for your own copy or copies. If you have a testimony to share we would love to see more stories for future copies and for our website.
Does you milk stay fresh for 2 weeks? If not you may like to try this technique that a customer in Jacksonville shared with us:
I wanted to share a tip that has helped me and may help others. I
buy 2 gallons of milk to last me 2 weeks. At first I was having trouble
with the second gallon going a bit sour before I was finished drinking
it. I began dividing the gallons in to quarts (half gallons may work,
too). This way the milk stays colder and fresher because it is not
exposed to air until the last container is opened. By the end of the 2
weeks the last container tastes as fresh and yummy as the first!!
Thanks for all you do. L

be held at Full Circle Farm but at the below. I will be there but I will not be the main speaker. I will be there to learn from the Street's as they are the only farm in Florida, I know, doing an awesome
job without chemicals. Come and learn, they have a great story and great experience to share.
