Hooray!!! We have been blessed with some great help to our business this last week! A few days ago we received a call from a project coordinator of the garden program at Phoenix School. The school received stimulus funds for employing youth on different projects in our community. We were so excited when we found out they would be coming! Both Asinete and I are already feeling the affects of the rush warm weather puts on a farmer and so some youthful energy was just the ticket! The students helped us to plant tomatoes on our new acreage that the pigs cleared, we weeded 7 rows of onions, thinned beets and hilled potatoes, pulled out bolting chard and weeded the snow peas... whew we were all tired at the end of the day and the students got first hand experience about what it takes to be an organic farmer!
Time to get some rest as we have 10 more students coming out tomorrow for another day of fun at the farm!
