Farming for a good cause

Full Circle Farm Red Beets

Farmer Julie Ann & beans

Farmer Lisa

Today, I went to help on a work party at Full Circle Farm with good pal, Lisa, for a good cause. We worked 4 hours on the farm. We learned about organic farming, and the farm donated oodles of fresh produce to Hopelink families. So what did we do? First, we widened a trail through a forest area as part of a salmon stream restoration project on the farm. We tackled prickly blackberry vines and hidden barbed wire. Then, we picked raspberries and blueberries to take home as a treat. After a yummy lunch, we rode in the tractor wagon out to the veggie fields to glean peppermint beets for the foodbank and picked a few beans. We both loved the dogs who were into retriving favorite rocks. (They desparately need a tennis ball!) The weather was terrific for a farm experience, and we learned alot. (I hope I can move tomorrow)
