We have Interns!!
All good organic farms have interns right?
We had a problem in that I was spending an awful lot of time last year mowing the two pastures that we don't currently grow on and also trying to collect enough of that cut grass to use as mulch and compost for our production fields. If only there was some way I get someone to collect all that grass for me and package it up ready to be put into a compost pile. So's I went onto the interwebs and asked if there was anyone who might be willing to fill this position at the farm.
Turns out the universe was smiling on us that day and Carrie G., who had two young little steers who needed more room to roam, found us. On the left is Skid and the right is Tucker. Skid is like the leader of the two but Tucker is younger and is supposed to grow up to be bigger than Skid so we'll see how long Skid lasts trying to gulp down his paycheck (a lil scoop of sweet corn/oats mi everyday) then going over and "helping" Tucker finish his. Their job on the farm is pasture management and 'compost production' and so far they've been doing a great job. I call them interns because we didn't pay for them, Carrie G. donated them to us as pets on the condition that we never eat them. Which is not a problem, if you've been assigned to a team and you have a name it's kinna hard to eat you. We're pleased to welcome them to the team and look forward to working and growing along with them!

River: Little soul, big world. Eat, sleep, and eat. Many souls. Mal: Cattle on the ship three weeks, she don't go near 'em. Suddenly we're on Jianying, and she's got a driving need to commune with the beasts? River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?
