back from Florida

As you may know, I was just in Florida for a week on an island called Cayo Costa.  I think these two pictures sum it up nicely:

Actually it was nothing like LOST, thank goodness because that would have been horrible and bizarre. 

I've been oddly tired all week, but today I felt a bit peppier.  I don't have much to say but it was requested that I post more pictures.  Here they are!

We've been doing lots of planting, but not as much as we'd like because it's been too damp.

The strawberries are doing quite well!

The cows are happily out on pasture

Kaylyn sent me a goat!  He's very cute.  I think his name is Arnold.

Welcome!

I've created this blog for the purpose of keeping people updated on my farming adventures.

As a recap, after many months of agonizing and researching I've finally decided on a farm! They are B&H organic produce, and this is their website: http://www.bhorganicproduce.com/.  I am very excited for the summer of learning and hard work that is to come!  I'm moving in to the intern cottage on April 6th.  A little less than two weeks to go!

On the farm there will be: me, Erica who is running things generally, another intern named Sam, Paul who owns the farm, a family of four-I think (friends of Paul's), Erica's veteran farming friend Laura, and other occasional visitors/helpers, possibly including you!  I have met Paul and Erica, but have yet to lay eyes upon the rest.  Sam will be arriving in late April, and Laura will be working part time for a good portion of the season.  I will be staying all the way until November!

I took this photograph when I visited.  It sure is pretty!
