Coming Soon - The Project

A new beginning for us here at the farm as we decided to go in a new direction. As many know, I have always been employed off the farm to pay the bills. We bought the land about ten years ago and it doesn't provide enough income to allow us to be a full-time farm operation.

Things have changed.

I've worked for others since I was fourteen when my dad "volunteered" my labor to neighboring farmers. For the past four decades (with only very brief periods) I've earned my wages working for others.

I voluntarily left my salaried job on Friday in an effort to complete what has been a lingering vision/dream/passion that has been sitting there dormant for far too long. More details will roll out as we successfully complete our next steps or we crash and burn - who knows?

I call it by it's sexy title - The Project

Will we be successful? The stubborn part of me is driving the bus right now, so I better say yes.

We will clear more ground for our farmer's markets this summer as well as a couple of side projects that are in the works. My wife is employed, so we won't be living on the streets (for the time being).

I plan to take this fork while I still can. 

Since I don't have a fork, here's a "T"
