MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 44/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
This week we tucked a few thousand strawberry crowns into the ground, crossed our fingers, and began the long wait for next year’s berries. On Tuesday, we’ll finish filling out our garlic patch with a similar sentiment - already walking in the shadow of a new year.
Much of what we do these days involves putting fields to rest and storing crops, tools, etc. for the winter. As a result, it’s a welcome change of pace to think forward, planting seeds for a future that, perennially, offers up opportunities for success and failure, luck and loss, the chance to try and try again. The funny thing about farming is you really only get to do it once a year. But with each passing season the odds are tilted ever more progressively in our favor, and our hopes are ever high. Onward!
