I'm super excited - on Sunday we're going to have a huge Crop Mob!!
What's a Crop Mob, you ask?
It's a brilliant idea - a giant volunteer group comes to help tackle the essential, yet not top priority projects on the farm. In our case, the list includes planting strawberries, building an open1 read more »

When I was in college, I hit a point during exams each semester that I called the f*** it point. It wasn't giving up - it was a release from stress. I didn't know how things were going to get done, but I stopped worrying about it and trusted that they would. And somehow, every sem1 read more »

The house is finally, finally done, and I spent a glorious day on the farm without worrying about what I wasn't doing to get the house ready for market.

Now I just need to figure out how1 read more »

Proving that my life is 100% farm related (or at least it will be, after I sell the house!) - I'll be performing at an event tonight to raise funds to plant fruit trees on farms in Atlanta.
So if you want to see yours truly as a vocalist in the Farmer's Jam, come out to Monday Night Brewing between1 read more »

There are days when things on the farm feel like one of those long lines of dominos - except instead of every domino falling quickly, it can take days or weeks between each one. But yesterday we knocked down a domino that will let a lot more dominos fall in the coming days - we moved the bird1 read more »

Very odd to be sending out next week's shares when last week's won't be delivered until Tuesday... but there's only so many hours I can sleep in a day, and I'm going to try to respect the schedule. For those who haven't been down to our cooler, here's how to get there on Tuesday:
