First of all, I am so, so sorry for falling behind on the blog here. I just got addicted to using facebook…you can check out all of the pics I’ve been posting by becoming a fan of Four Frog Farm on facebook. It’s actually pretty sweet.
Facebook is pretty manic-it’s all about the one-liners because our society has fallen into ADHD as our default-mode. Whatever…I guess if you can’t beat them, or change em, then I’ll just join em. And, I’m hoping, people will follow the farm to find out what’s going on every day, and what we’re taking to the Farmers’ Markets at any given time. Since people get these feeds from Twitter and Facebook on their cell-phones nowadays, they’ll know instantly if we’re taking turnips (or not) to the market (pretty hot stuff). And, since I know you’re all dying to know about our turnip supply, this is enhancing your life in ways previously unthought-of (note: I’m being a little sarcastic).
Anywhoo, Logan and I are engaging in marathon paperwork sessions. We’re getting very precise about all of our crops this year. We can do that now, because we know, after a this previous year, what our local markets are like, and how much of everything we can realistically sell. So far, we know how much of and what we’re growing for the spring and summer, but not yet for the fall. Once we plan out exactly where in the field this is all going, we will be money!
If anyone is interested, when we’re done with this, I can hook you up with our complete cropping plan. I’ll probably post it here on the blog or on facebook -give me some feedback if you’re interested. I guess we should be selling it…but not yet -this year it’s free and maybe it’ll help someone become profitable, or at least contribute a bit. Anyway, it’s a good example of one farm and what we’re doing, if nothing more.
Lastly, I’m going to make an effort to post twice a week here. The posts will be longer than they have been - if you want ADD posts, then become a fan of Four Frog Farm on facebook.
Happy last night of Chanukah,
Andrew
I’m up in Eugene with my family, and my brother has successfully convinced me to sign up for a facebook account, for Four Frog Farm. I’m really not into it at all. But, shoot, everyone I’ve ever met, talked with, or even heard about in my life is using the cursed system.
Logan and I are taking most of the week off. We’ll be back at work on Monday. It’s nice to take 5 days from the farm and not worry about anything out there.
I’m getting techy for the farm - facebook, twitter, and I’m taking-over the website. So, check out all those application.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Andrew
