“The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”

“Go with your love to the fields.
Lie down in the shade. Rest your head
in her lap. Swear allegiance
to what is nighest your thoughts.”
– Wendell Berry
Sweet Briar (October)
These photos were taken on our farm,farmers market, and in our house. The deer was standing about 5ft away from our window. This place is just gorgeous.
Sweet Briar Herb Farm
Cooper and I have the privileged of working at Sweet Briar Farm in Onalaska Washington. We take care of three green houses and other various areas of 3/4’s of an acre. Everyday we wake up at 6:45 to get up and work until 5:00 that evening. The work is very rewarding and we couldn’t ask for anything more exciting. More pictures and comments will be coming your way every Tuesday.
Hopefully not the last…
This past summer Cooper and I visited family at the famous Flatoff cabin. While there, we received fresh berries (first picture) and a trip to the local farmers market in Elkhart Lake (second picture).
Johnson’s Backyard Garden
Cooper and I are applying for organic farm internships all over the country and thought that it would be fun to volunteer at one in Austin. Johnson’s farm gives a warm welcome to volunteers. The people that work there on a daily basis love their job. Volunteers leave with much more than what they came with: a few new friends, a full tote of veggies, and a smile.
