Here's a couple of pictures from our candle making day on Saturday. (ok, the pictures didn't work - i will try again tomorrow)

Yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny, with very little wind, and I'm trying to get as much done as possible before things get really cold. Last weekend we got 98% of the garlic planted before Sunday nightfall and rain. Thanks everyone!!!!

There's still so much to do on the farm!!!
If any of you are still interested in helping out on days when the weather is nice,

We are having a
POTLUCK
AND
SQUARE DANCE
this Saturday

IN Celebration of the end of our growing season, our progress on our building projects, and in gratitude for all of you, we are having a party.

All year, we've been working on our new building, and this is our first attempt to have an event in it.
