Update!

First post in a while, sorry for the delay, we have been rather busy and tired. Its been raining up here for the past week, but the work continues. We emerged triumphantly from numerous battles with bind weed and each of us got to try our hand at running the farm stand and selling produce at farmer's markets in Worcester. We drove up to Vermont this weekend where Ben administered a tour of Middlebury. It was quite a relaxing weekend. 

On the way back down to Sutton, we had the opportunity to stop at Overlook Farm, which is one of Heifer International's few education centres in the states. We had time to contemplate what we will do with our farming skillz.


There was also a fair amount of camel/bro love time.

We have always been big fans of what Heifer does, and it was interesting for us to consider how our experience here could possibly tie into their line work in the future. Teaching sustainable agriculture internationally would definitely be cool.

We returned from the weekend to work and more rain. Ben spent some time scurrying around under the barn installing some PVC pipe to allow us to wash copious amounts of greens in a bathtub.  We also picked tons of delicious snap peas. mmmmmm.

hope ya'll are feelin fine!
