7 Months Later

If you haven't noticed, I took somewhat of a hiatus from blogging. Not that life hasn't been full of all kinds of crazy things. Just haven't had the time for writing it all down.

Long story short:


James and I are starting a farm in Rapidan, Virginia. Only 30 miles away from where we worked at last year (waterpennyfarm.com). We are renting 4 acres of farmable land, a 1930's farmhouse, and several outbuildings including a barn. We will be going to farmers markets starting in May and hope to grow up to 3 acres of vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers.

Start-up is going a bit slow due to all the snow we have received. But we have managed to order all our seeds, put our house together, apply to markets, and design a logo..among other things! Here it is:
