Blue Faerie Farm

We had a great weekend from Friday on through. The rain finally let off for a few days and just in time. We had a group come by on Saturday evening for a farm tour, the Vocal Locals. It was really nice to be able to show folks around the farm and talk to them about what we are doing and where we are trying to go. After the tour we had a very nice potluck dinner in the back yard and then ended the evening sitting around the fire circle talking and watching the fire flies and the nearly full moon.

We also got  very cool new tool on Friday, a High Wheel Cultivator. It has been put to work every day since it arrived weeding and furrowing. It has really sped up the process for us and we have managed to get quite a bit more squash in the ground and start on our backlog of beans. Finding good, practical hand tools that help us get through the work and have minimal environmental impact is really exciting. If we can catch some good weather this week, we should be able to almost get caught up with the planting schedule by Sunday (keep your fingers crossed).

The last great piece of news for us was that we got our first order from the local whole food co-op. It wasn't anything major but it was another big step along the path.

Happy Growing
