good times in the garden
in the country
even though it’s been dry, our well is deep, and our garden looks lush. a tropical looking forest of green surrounds our little garden plot, threatening to engulf it. we’re keeping the bamboo at bay, and starting to pick tons of tomatoes and beans. the sunflowers reward us with their exuberance. it’s a good time in the garden.
full moon farms
homes and habitats
last week, we had a visitor- this lady came to town, so we headed out to full moon farm early on a friday morning so she could get some country time.
we arrived just in time for the morning harvest. we began by walking the land with farm 255 GM olivia sargeant & her dog atticus, then wandered around & took photographs, and finally kneeled down and helped pick beans for the restaurant and the farm’s CSA boxes. the rest of the helpers were made up of staff from the restaurant, CSA box subscribers, and friends who wanted to start their day by getting their hands dirty…
dr. jordan, a UGA ecology professor and his family own the land and operate spring valley ecofarms, the non-profit umbrella organization from which full moon farms leases our crop and pasture land from, and partners in a collaborative land stewardship & sustainable ag education program. the farm is managed by; jason mann and tended by many local farmers and farm 255 employees.
what a wonderful day it was!
