Looking forward to the coming season
We are waiting for the snows to melt so to get into the field to plow. But until then we will continue to run our trap lines and send our seed orders in. The temp. is warming up and soon the maple syrup will start to run--here in Northern Indiana that is sometime in mid February.
Daniel and I work our farm together--I was tought the old ways of farming. That is if it is of the land then it is useful in some way. We trap during the season so to control problem animals and I like to. It is better to sell the fur on the market or use the pelt then to completely waste the animal for being a problem. After trapping is over the greenhouse is opened and we start to plant vegetable seeds for the garden. We are selling CSAs for the second time.
Last year was our first season with CSAs and it worked allright. We like the fact that if enough sell then we do not have to try for a farm loan. Either way loan or CSAs the land is part of us.
