This year has been an education for me! I am the
'city girl, computer nerd' who fell in love with the farmer. His
passion and enthusiasm (we won't mention patience with me) for the land
and growing things made me brave enough to start this wonderful venture.
So far it is has been a WONDERFUL experience, though I have never worked this hard in my life...
I have especially enjoyed hearing how you
have prepared our meats. It is a pleasure to learn that you and
your family enjoy our products as much as we do. I promise to post
all the recipes you are willing to share with me.
It is such a joy to watch our own babies grow along with
our farm. Our little girl seems to be genetically programmed (is
that possible??) to be a farmer. She is quite at ease with the
animals and vegetables. She
loves having visitors, especially ones her size! She is a confident
host and gladly shows them how to pick (and immediately eat!) strawberries
and string beans,
shows off the chicks, chickens, turkeys and HER piggys.

Farming
is a family activity for us. My son, daughter in law and a friend
visiting from Virginia were put to work to get the garlic in before the
rain. Even the baby had a task - shaking excess soil from the bulbs |
