Meet my DJ- Hi Tech

A farmer wears many hats: cowboy, sun visor, sombrero, thinking cap, land steward, marketing, accounting, etc...

This weekend I was transplanting the first round of Kale. The ground is pretty darn wet, muddy in fact. Not so good for transplanting, so I listen close for that "knock" from Opportunity. When the ground is not completely saturated and little roots will not be suffocated. Slipping, smiling and squooshing in the walkway, trays in my hands and 10lbs of mud on my boots, nursing a sore body (already? its only march), to make sure we have veggies available for our markets and CSA. Labor of love? Yes. The sun broke through the blanket of grey a couple times, literally for a few seconds. But those brief seconds provide a glimmer of warmth and impetus for singing. Funny, a theme song from childhood came to me while planting, maybe you can guess it... "when your world looks kind of weird, and you wish that you weren't there. Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere. I like adventure. I like romance..."




When its time to stop transplanting and the greenhouse work for the day is done I have been learning to use the computer. My dad had been covering most of the admin computer tasks before returning to full time work off the farm. Data entry for our record keeping and organic certification, accounting, blog activity, facebook, farm research, keeping up with email, I didnt know farming would require this much computer time. Welcome to the 21st century Sean! The computer is a cool tool and I am new to the game. If you see room for improvement, advice is welcome.
Check out our new Paypal option. For those of you interested in paying in monthly installments,
you now have another option. Checks are still preferred.
Thank you for sending in those checks, money is tight right now (no duh), there are a lot of costs early in the season to get things going:
seeds, soil mix materials, irrigation supplies, tools, tractor repairs, fuel, baby chicks (peep peep!) and the list goes on. Your early season financial support keeps us moving full speed ahead even in the mud. There are still spots open- tell your friends-send me an email n sign up for our CSA today!
