A DAY IN THE LIFE

Farming is a vocation, an adventure, a labor and, sometimes it seems like a work of magic. Everything affects everything else, the bees, the sun, the sky, the creek, the cows, the people, the land. Before the time of agribusinesses and agriculture programs in universities, farming was a culture, was people who passed intimacy with the land from one generation to the next. These are our stories.

Spring Again!

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Well, the quiet sleepiness of winter has been blown away with an extremely lush spring. All the plants and trees have burst to life with green leaves and blooms quickly. It has been a wonderful spring for plants. Just the right amount of rain and sun. No hard freezes. It has been wonderful. So green and full of life.
Here at the farm we have had 3 little calves born. We had one in December - Moses. He is our first little guy. Then at the beginning of April we had 2 little girls born within a day of each other. They are so sweet. The girls are Clover and Alfalfa. The young spend all their time together. They play and nap all day.
The Asparagus is in full swing thanks to all the rain. The lettuce and other veggies are coming along nicely. It is so much fun to watch everything grow this time of year (except for the weeds!). Hard to believe it is almost time to plant Tomatoes and everything else! Time does pass quickly when there is plenty to do. We are planning out the CSA program for this year. We are also thinking about doing a few different things this year. I think we need to have a community feast at the farm. You never know where the season will take you!

    I think a community feast sounds not only delicious, but a fantastic way to build some stronger ties to the farm.

    Thanks for thinking about it.
