Eggcellant in Helena



Fresh Eggs
Laura Brookhart has a great article about Helena's Joyce Darby Farm. Joyce has chickens that produces certified organic eggs. She has an open farm days for visitors that are scheduled year round. I just emailed her to see if I can come by one day. It is funny because I was just at Loading Dock South talking about raising chickens. I know it is against the zoning of my house but I would love to have one chicken, just for eggs. Since I can't, I am going to visit and maybe do a post. Full article (Update: The article was listing under Helena in the newspaper but the reporter contacted me and said the farm is on Hwy 17 but down past Maylene)

Swimmer
Helena's Leah Thornton is making waves in the swimming world. She lead her team to a win with a victory in the 200 backstroke (2:04.80) in a recent competition

Race Rentals
 Here's another one of those things I have wanted to do in Helena.Warehouse Hobby Raceway  is now renting racecars. ‎It is 30.00 for an hour, 15 each additional hour and it includes track time. I figured I could go with my son or daughter and we could split up the time. Here's their info:  http://www.facebook.com/WHRaceway

Found Dog
This dog was found near St. Charles and Publix. Is this your dog?

Same here, as far as the fresh eggs go. We've started getting ours at Whole Foods. They're not too terribly expensive, but if I can get them straight from the farm, then that's even better!

NOTE: J.Darby Farm is south of Maylene on Hwy 17. Didn't mean for it to be said to be IN Helena, but conveniently close.
