Things continue to go swimmingly here.
Since our last dispatch, we have attended a CSA steering committee meeting with Martha which was very informative. It's interesting to see the direct interaction between the growers and the shareholders. We have learned a lot about the politics of farmers markets from Jeff as well.
Yesterday was spent preparing a children's garden for local kids. We tilled up a small portion of the front yard and made things look respectable around the barn.
The tire busted a flat in the process while hauling compost which Ben learned to repair. Meanwhile, Mike and Dan put up a new electric fence to keep the ornery goats at bay. The children came, planted their garden, and left. The malicious geese left
most of them unharmed.
This morning was spent in the green house planting squash. We moved to the barn later to clear out old furniture and discover a bounty of antique treasures.
The afternoon was full of education as we learned how to seed the fields and a bit about the complexities of farm mathematics and crop planning.
The days have been full and tiring, but very satisfying and we continue to share good times with the family and mike.
We are happy and hope you are too!
