Full Circle
9/18/14
We’re back on the farm again. Genesis Farm once again called our name and
we here appreciating the full wonders of nature.
Two days on the farm, so far I’ve – washed many, many seed
pots and trays, cleaned leeks, helped with the cooking, washed dishes – put in about 7
hour days. Jerry on the other hand has
helped – harvest over 1,000 butternut squash loaded and unloaded them for
storage (these are the squash that I seeded back in June – full circle),
harvested leeks, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and lots and lots, and lots of weeds. He puts in about 10-11 hours a day. He is convinced that he needs to keep up with the young interns.Once again our living quarters are great, guess it pays to
be related to Judy. We are in a two
bedroom wing of a farm house. A very
nice farm house. We have a shower and compost toilet all to ourselves. There is even a washer that we’ve been using
in the evenings for Jerry’s very muddy clothing. Woo Hoo!

Sorry Joe. I attempted to answer your question a few days ago but lost my connection. We work side by side with the apprentices but they get paid and we do not. They are usually 20 somethings and very inspiring. I see them and their dedication to their work and I feel that there is hope for the world.
