Eaters' Guild

We've found that sometimes it's best to begin something when you can no longer escape its traction..or lure.  Like intentions to go up and nail down that loose piece of roof steel, ending its clatter and ringing threats to quit us entirely. Or fixing an old gate to save that 2 seconds extra work each time to open it.  Or this, staring at the blogosphere, starting our blog farm---as if the world were not oversupplied with such things, inedible and vacant of substance as they are.  

If these musings are enough to get you here, at least you won't be disappointed to find yourself in this blog barn.  It's an emanation of Local Harvest which will help you find a lot of the other foods and farms you should be looking for.  So clearly not a wasted click.  Before long and before your eyes glaze you'll want to search by your zip code to find good food nearby.

In this blog, your gonna want to really use your keyword seach option to find relevance.  We will have plenty of people coming here to find important weekly info on CSA pick-up issues, new crops and recipies and scheduling of events.  We'll figure out how to post photos when they are actually better than words.  Periodic newletters will be posted here for all to read as well as general rumblings from the farm scene around here.

It may be mistaken but our intent, too, is to use this as our general farm activity log which is a  requirement of organic certification.  This will be a banal list of deeds and measures about which most will find no thrills.  It may however be an interesting experiement in transparency for us and an extortive way to make us commit to keeping it current.  Any taskmasters among the CSA membership may find comfort in the metrics of our toil.  This component may also archive useful information for other growers furthering a sharing a best practices and shedding of worst.

So we hope this is a warm welcome.  It has been willing you should know.  Soon to come will be recipes and notes for this weeks winter share.  We need the bounce this new endeavor provides to get us into the expansive side of the season, out of the leisure of the cold and dark weeks and minimal chores of winter's deepest.  Thanks for helping confirm our suspicions that blogging is theraputic mainly for the blogger at the expense of the blogged...can you forgive us?
