WET

25 Black Australorps in our small brooder!

5.14 inches of rain so far this month and that makes for really wet conditions.  My thoughts are on next years fall/winter season and I’m thinking more about getting a good cover crop stand than a four season harvest.  We’ve been to three educational farming workshops/conferences within the last month and they’ve all been wonderful.  The first was an eye opening experience with No-Till Organic Vegetable Production, the second was a day long conference called Focused on Farming, and lastly I received a scholarship to attended the WA State Tilth Conference in Yakima.  I throughly enjoyed the all day Symposium prior to the conference which was:  Advanced Techniques in Organic Agriculture with Amigo Bob Cantisano.  I’m still buzzing from all the learning!  So many ideas and techniques that I would like to work into our farm.

I’m proud to state that we just completed our very first retail sale to a great new store that opens tomorrow, it’s an association of producers called FreshLocal.  Here’s what we delievered:

200# Potatoes

12 dozen Chicken Eggs

12 dozen Duck Eggs

12 bunches of both Kale and Chard

Thank you FreshLocal!
