WWOOF!!

Last season we were lucky to have our friends stay on the farm for the summer. Those months helped us see just how much more can be accomplished with more than our hands alone.  To grow our family farm up, we knew that extra help would make it possible.

With the help of Patrick and Katie, we were able to add in piggies to the farm, put away chords of fire wood for winter, side the end of the house, finish the outside kitchen, bring on new chickens, retire our dear Dolly girl, build new garden beds, and so many daily chores were handled while we went on mini-vacations.

This year we've decided to bring on a "WWOOF-er" to live on the farm and help to keep the momentum going.  The Worldwide Opportunites on Organic Farms organization helps connect individuals who are looking to work and learn on a farm and in turn, the farm benefits from extra hands & ideas.  We've had fellow farm-friends who have raved about the organization and the great mutual experiences fostered on their farm.

This year we hope to expand our strawberry and raspberry beds, add new Guinea Hog breeding stock, begin our CSA program, lease out land for sheep and additional cows and add in several new growing beds.

We've just begun the process of evaluating who will be the best fit and it's exciting to see so many interesting people - from all over the world - with a depth of experience and interests - all looking to contribute to the greater good of Organic Farming.  Oh Spring, we are ready for you!
