MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 46/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
It’s hard to believe that we’ve arrived at the last week of our ‘main’ season here on the farm. For 33 weeks, April through November, we are constantly at work balancing a flurry of seeding, planting, weeding, harvesting, and everything in between. Farming is a complex dance, each season entirely different from the last in ways you could never have anticipated. It takes the combined efforts of many - farmer hands, hearts, and minds - generous neighbors, patient friends, fellow farmers, family, an entire village, really.
It’s hard to pour enough gratitude into something so small as a newsletter, but I’m doing my best to make this paragraph overflow with it! So if you’re reading this, thank you - for your support, your time, your energy. Thank you to our incredible crew of hard working, talented folks, who we’d most certainly be lost without. Together we’ve managed to do the necessary work of turning soil into gold, a constant experiment in the art of resilience.
Happy end of season everyone! May this week find you with full hearts and full bellies.
