WHAT STOREY’S IN THE DIRT MEANS TO ME.
The dirt under my nails and in the creases of my hands after a day of working in the soil.
1. The dirt under my nails and in the creases of my hands after a day of working in the soil. 2. The joy I feel when my kids work the farm with me. 3. Every wonderful, painful, new experience that adds to our own stories. 4. All the wonderful and some not so wonderful people who we have encountered on our journey. I love to meet farmers, gardeners, ranchers, bakers, fermenters, canners, homesteaders, poultry people, crafters, creators, bee people….there are just so many people, and they are amazing! I love to hear their stories. In fact, I get in trouble all the time, because I take too long talking to people, well listening to people too.
IT’S GOING TO BE A FANTABULOUS 2021! JOIN US ON OUR JOURNEY
Well, I have started manifesting soil….with the help of the pigs and chickens
The farm is now in a very interesting location due to the fact that we have no top soil, yet….Well, I have started manifesting soil….with the help of the pigs and chickens. If you know me you know my “Happy, Healthy, Safe and Strong” moto. As a parent, my job is to make sure my kids are Happy, Healthy, Safe and Strong. So they can grow up to be HHSS. Then when they have children they can be, you guessed it, HHSS. Well, I have approached my farm with the same philosophy. I want the plants, animals (large and microscopic), insects (beneficial and sometimes not so much), fungus (edible to working), soil (and it’s biome), water (and it’s biomes), and even bacteria working for the farm, to be HAPPY, HEALTHY, SAFE, AND STRONG. To that end and for the For the Love of Experiments…This year I will share experiments and experiences here on the farm. Should be exciting (finger crossed). We’ll have Coffee with Critters and put our Hands in the Dirt. I’m going to share with you some of the ways we Close the Gaps and try some new ways to stack farm enterprises without breaking the back. We have an awful lot to do, but I have learned to Keep it Simple Sally and encourage you to do the same. Because at the end of the day we want to look out over our farm and Enjoy the View!
