This week was really fun. The weather cleared up finally and got up to 90 by the end. Last Sunday, we had the weekly class at our farm. Then we went over to our neighbors' and learned how to milk goats. It was a lot fun, and we can't wait to go over to milk again and learn to make cheese. For a lot of the week, we weeded the onion field. The weeds were waist to chest high and really tough to get out. In addition to onions, we planted some flowers, moved the sheep after they had escaped 3 times in one day, watered the orchard, and took meat over to the CSA for people's weekly shares. A CSA is other times called subscription farming. People pay a certain amount at the beginning of the summer in exchange for a weekly box of fresh, in season veggies, fruits, dairy, eggs, meat, cut flowers, and whatever else the share includes. The shares are usually dropped off at a point that is convenient for the customers. It's a way for people to get fresh food and for them to share a little of the risk of growing food, so the farmer gets a descent return for their labor. On Friday was the major excitement. The goats came! 15 nannies including some pregnant ones and 3 month old puppies. The puppies are guard dogs and are Pyranesse and Anatolian mix. They are going to be huge. We have to play with the puppies and give them lots of attention, oh darn. The goats are cute too. One little one has already gotten a little used to us, and comes up to get pet. We named her Pepe. So, after getting their pen set up with fence, water, and minerals, they came. In between playing with the dogs, we electrified the chicken fense (2 chickens were eaten this week), baby sat the kids, and started hoeing the radishes. Today we will be going climbing and to a friend's birthday movie watching. Tomorrow, we will hopefully finish the yurt platform, go to a botany class, and hopefully milk again! I hope everyone else's week was good. I'm still waiting for other people to send pictures! There are quite a few from this week.
