Farm Photos

I figured it was about time to post some farm pictures:


Here's Forest with a nearly-ripe jack o'lantern. Don't forget, Big Fall Harvest Party Fest is Sat. Oct. 15 where a whole lotta these will be here for CSA members/party goers to pick up.


Maybel the mighty racoon dog. She was a little reluctant to pose for this picture since it wasn't quite time for her to be in her house (she's only stationed there during night-time hours).


This is a hoophouse shot. Forest was getting bored at this point hence the ornery face. Notice the great okra plants and the sad tomato plants (boo!).


Here is Cass bringing down the goat ladies Rose and Shirley. We've been really enjoying their milk. I think goat cheese is in our future!


Forest and the sunflower patch.
