These past few weeks have been a blur. This weekend, we have taken a small breather for a few hours, but the recent rain, which is greatly needed, will ensure that we will be very busy over the next week.  In the past couple of weeks we have planted potatoes, kohlrabi, Brussel sprouts, onions, greens, and broccoli.  We have assembled a walk-in cooler, and planted thousands of plants in pots for transplanting at a later date.

While there is much to do, this is also my favorite time of year. I love the intensity of work. Spring is when we have the most energy. I also enjoy the community that we have out here. Many people come to our farm and assist in the planting, weeding, and harvesting of crops. Some are new to this, while others have been working with us for some time. Still, we laugh, talk, and work towards a common goal. It is the community that shares in the time-honored production of food. We work side-by-side like generations of people before us, and in this simple act of community, we revive something lost in our modern world of instant communication and consumer gratification. We slow down and see each other.
