Welcome TomKat goats!! :) I have to say that it has added a whole other level of pleasure to our days to be able to pause and look up at the hill above our home ranch and see goats and their LGD Reba at work. It's taken a few months for work out all the potential issues of having goats on the other side of the fence from our veggies, but it was well worth all the prep. TomKat Ranch is only a few miles away and we are offering them the pasture, which will save us all the labor and fuel it would take to mow it. They are intensively grazing it which means they are in a very small fenced in pasture that changed multiple times a day. It's so joyful to hear their pleasant bells and watch the apparent pleasure with which they go after grasses and weeds alike- even tar weed! Go goats!
Parcel Line Remapping for the Preservation Of Farmland
Other exciting (though slow moving) news.. This week we met with representatives form Peninsula Open Space Trust and Midpen, from whom we lease 2 parcels, to discuss the parcel line adjustments which will eventually carve off the agricultural acreage so that the rest can be preserved as parks while protecting the farmland. It will be awhile (it's already been over 8 years), but hopefully this is one more step closer to Fifth Crow being able to own the land we farm and a move that will preserve the ability of farmers to farm it long into the future.
WE NEED THOSE MESH BAGS SO WE DON'T HAVE TO RESORT TO DISPOSABLE PACKAGING!
Thank you so much to member Terri Winnett who just donated another 900 mesh bags to our inventory! Amazing :) But... we still need you to keep the RE-CYCLE going. Please remember to bring back your bags when you come pick up your next box!
