What do farmers do in the winter? Well, our fearless Farmer Brent keeps on going! Native Sun has been growing through the winter in the recently expanded hoophouse. When we're not tending to delicious lettuces and greens, we're scheming up next year's crop and building fun farm implements like the one in the picture. That is a wheel-hoe constructed from our nephew's "big boy" bike. Fortunately, he didn't mind us using some parts to create this fabulous little weeding device. The next project is a bed shaper that will attach to the tractor and do just what it sounds like - shape the planting beds! Native Sun has also recently become officially Certified Naturally Grown! We will be applying to have a booth at the Athens Farmer's Market in the spring. If the promise of delicious locally grown foods isn't enough to convince you to come by and visit our booth, then at least stop by and meet our new farmhand. Baby Boy Lopp is due right around the time that the radishes are ready to harvest.
