Feeding the Worms
by Danusha Laméris

Ever since I found out that earth worms have taste buds
all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies,
I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine
the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples
permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley,
avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.

I’d always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden,
almost vulgar—though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure
so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can,
forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

Sometimes work is cool

Holy smokes! Ya'll are ready to go! We are wading through emails, text and voicemails and responding as quickly as possible...in order of receipt. A couple Notes/requests/mentions:
-With the recent website update we have temporarily lost the ability to take online orders. After direct contact with you, we send in invoice via Paypal to be paid prior to pick-up arrangements being made. NO cash transactions at this time.
-We have implemented some pricing increases (first time ever).
-This time of year we are shooting for a 24-72 hour response time...we are BUSY with actual farming and this online web stuff stuff is ALOT to keep up with.
-Please read the information on our "Contact us" page before contacting us.
Lastly, I'd guess we have almost another month before last frost...ease up on an old fella eh? ;)
