While sitting at a friends house on Thursday....adoring her month old baby, she told me I should write more about me "dream". It will give people an opportunity to really know you..she said. At the time it did kind of strike me...I dream my dream inside my head everyday....why not share it with you guys....right. It will give me a chance to write it all down, and document my thoughts on the process of how this dream is going to become my living reality.
Lets begin at the beginning shall we....Farming is in my blood, my father is one of 13 children raised on a big farm. His brothers and sisters all had duties growing up, responsibilities that molded and shaped them all into wonderful adults. Though I didn't grow up on a farm, there was always some type of farming going on...we gardened and raised chickens and turkeys and rabbits. My mother canned and we had shelves of garden veggies fresh for a winter dinner...Always there were potatoes, and apples and a giant crock of salt pork. I can remember being in awe, when asked to go to the basement at my grandmothers for a jar of dilly beans.....Shelves as far as my little eyes could see full of canned goods. We lived simply and happily feeding ourselves as much as we could with what land we had....It was awesome. I loved digging in the dirt to plant veggies or flowers, and I absolutely dance for joy when the first seedlings pop up from the earth......Its a feeling most can not surpass..the feeling of rebirth and growth...
So when I think of farming I think of where this farm is going to be and how its going to look.....and most importantly...what is going to happen here at this farm....We have some amazing ideas for the farm.....and this will be the journey from start to someday finish of at this very moment what we refer to as "no name farm".....
Hope you will stick with me and come on this journey with me....I look forward to having you along...
Thanks Aimee!
the friendly female farmer...
