We're feeling pretty excited about this fall. The dog days of summer are almost behind us and fall crops will bring a welcome change of pace. We are taking some much needed time off from the hectic pace of two-a-week markets and all the harvesting and transporting that's involved. We're getting well rested and ready to get out there again. We've been taking stock of all the wonderful opportunities that are available to a farm like ours; customers literally next-door, a network of friends and family that support and encourage us and a location close to a thriving town full of academics and advocates. We know that we have a pretty fortunate set-up and we're ready to start taking advantage of the wonderful resources we have in our backyard. We plan to offer an internship through UGA this fall and begin structuring a position to hire a part-time farm apprentice later this year. We've been looking at purchasing another hoophouse, opening the farmstand more days during the week, hosting special events and participating in more markets.
When we started, we set the goal of being a four-season farm and we're still on track. But we also know how important it is to step back, regroup and rejuvenate. We'll be back in full swing in a few weeks; in the mean time, we're dreaming of the next big move.
