Hi All,
Just wanted to make a quick full circle connection to emphasize the beauty of this experience. Here at Sunrise we plant the seeds, water and weed them, love and protect the crops that sprout. When we harvest, we "travel" 3 minutes walking to the kitchen for a wash. The kitchen prepares the meals. We eat meals and compost the scraps which are put out for the chickens to eat. The compost is reapplied to the soil to nurture it and ensure healthy soil for future generations.
This sustainable and simple process is alluded and desecrated at every level of industrial agriculture. Needless to say, I love it here.
Did I mention everyone, community and farm members alike, are all friendly, happy, open, respectful and passionate? It is refreshing.
Time for rest before second shift :0)
