We sat down for a real farm meal last night.  It was a vegetarian stew and biscuits with cheese.  (And a nice bottle of Italian red wine!)

Here is Susan, enjoying the meal with our new colleagues, Devin and Elizabeth.

I have posted pictures of our field this past summer.  This is what it looks like today.  We have had a lot of precipitation; rain here and snow at higher elevations.

Elisabeth and Devin visited us this past weekend.  They are graduates from an ag program in California who will join us next season.  If the season goes well for us, they will be our partners in future seasons.  I am really excited about the prospect.

There were some pretty big logs across Little Creek.  I worked with Laurie Allen to remove them and cut them into smaller pieces.  Susan came by and took these pictures towards the end of our adventure.

... and, the tree is down!

We are having an old fir tree cut down.  It has died.  The arborist says it was hit by lightning that destroyed the cambian layer.

 That's me, unloading horse manure with Buddy supervising.

These are rows in the garden that have been prepared for next season.  They are layered "Hugelkultur."
