Freshman Farmer | New Organic Farms Set Roots

Back From Vacation

September 5th, 2008
Four Frog Farm | Blog

I am so sorry to you guys, my avid readers (are you out there?). I took a vacation this week. My superman/stupid man status has ended. I went to backpack in the Sierras with my dad this last week. It was great. I really needed a vacation, so badly.

Ry and Chris held down the farm this week. I am so thankful to them. They did an incredible job. Thank you to them.

So, I’m back and I’m doing a market tomorrow (Saturday). I was reading a lot of “Managing Cover Crops Profitably” (you can get it through, none other than, Peaceful Valley). It is giving me some great ideas about managing cover crops and the nature of tilling. I highly recommend this to other farmers with cover-cropping schemes.

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
