well, look who finally decided to show up! Me! Sorry for the absence. I can't count on the number of times I thought to myself, "You know, I should really update my blog." I just didn't. A lot has been on my mind lately. I'm in the throes of planning my business; tracking down what things I need to do to be a legitimate business, continually rewriting and editing my business plan, reading up on sustainable farm practices, planning my planting schedule for next year, trying to put together a seed order, orchestrate meetings with insurance agents and loan officers. The list goes on. Talk about a juggling act! And if these few months are any indication I'm in for a wild ride next year. Keep me in your prayers!
So here's a quick update:
I have officially incorporated!
My farm finally has a name, Wild Goose Farm, LLC (limited liability company, it's a business thing)
I have a new email address for the farm, wildgoose.farm@yahoo.com
I'm still working for Sandhill Organics, that will continue through mid December. I'm still working on getting a winter job.
That 's the interesting stuff, anyway. I could get more into the details but it's not that exciting.
I'm posting a picture of the land that I'm renting. Right now it's growing a cover crop, a crop that I will till into the soil in the spring which will add nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Plus it helps keep down erosion through the winter. It snowed here today so you'll just have to picture the field with a light blanket of white. I get so excited each time I see my field and picture in my head what it will look like next year.
