Get a milking animal. We answer all invitations with "Sorry, we have to milk the cows"...
Farm fresh food are the best gits. Last year we had a litter of piglets at the wrong time. We butchered them as suckling pigs and gave them to family who would get a 'great' gift from us. If you buy one just about anywhere online they are $100-300. We wrapped and boxed them with instructions for cooking. If anyone was disappointed they sure didn't tell us... and phone calls have trickled in all year to tell us how their New Year's and Easter dinners, BBQs, Dinner Parties and Luaus have come out with the pigs. The year before it was a jam and jelly assortment made from our farm's fruit. Again, everybody was happy.
I know they think we are weirdos... but they think we are nice weirdos... and that's good enough.
