Our workshop went really well, we had about 15 people total. We toured by the chicken coop, then on to the barn to see all the animals. We then went through the garden to end up at the picnic area in the shade for snacks and networking time. The weather looked ugly in the morning but cleared off nicely by noon. I think everyone left with some good farm info and hopefully can apply it to their future projects.
Went to a workshop last night at High Country Orchard at Greenbluff. They were talking about food safety and value-added projects, really good info provided. They have awesome outside areas for their customers and we finished the evening off with pie, so worth the drive!
So needless to say today I am tired, went to bed way past my bedtime. Need to go harvest more brocolli to blanch and freeze, we are in brocolli heaven this season. Also need to have the kids check on the pie cherries, might be making pie filling and jam this week, gotta love farm life, never a dull moment. Thank goodness for winter, then I can catch up on my sleep!
Week 2 of produce deliveries went well this week, everyone loved what was in their bags last week, I love how every week something new ripens, it is so fun to put new stuff in the bags every week. The kids decided they like harvesting and washing way better than weeding.
I hope everyones summer is going well!
Sorry I missed the farm tour, I would have liked to see it :-)
