December 2010

Freezing temps have settled in for the month, hitting a low of 15 degrees last night. Everything takes more time when the weather is this cold -- break ice off water troughs, pack in more straw for warmth, trudge around in 15 layers of clothing.

Attended the 25th Annual Sustainable Ag Conference in Winston Salem this month. Came back brimming with enthusiasm and ideas for the farm. Check out this conference video produced by GeoCore Films:

If you don't blink, you may catch a (very) brief glimpse of me at the 45-46 second mark in a rose-colored Carhart vest and brown hat with Holstein cows in the background. If you haven't attended one of these CFSA conferences before, it's well worth the time and money spent, whether you're a farmer, gardener or lover of good food.
