Why?

I’ve had several people ask me why I came out to work at the farm. Here are my reasons . . . I believe in what they do and wanted to do what I can to support that—educating people to go out and teach others about sustainable farming/agriculture. When I ask myself—what do I hold dear/spend time doing right now—I answer with growing produce in a way that is kind to the earth. I came to the farm to learn more about how to grow good things for my friends and neighbors. I also hope this to be a time in a different, more bucolic place, where I can meditate on what/if anything career-wise is next—I’m not even sure I know what this means. I’m meeting with a few people I know here in Waco to talk through some possibilities. I think that’s it for now. Thank you all for your interest/support of me.

Hey you guys...so great to read what you're up to...can I come out and get some gardening tips?? At our new house (yes, we are buying a house!), I will be eager to plant my own garden. And the farm you are going to...wow! What an awesome blend of the things you value...and to really be able to go there!!
Love to you both from hot So. Cal, Amy
