Farm life has kicked in to gear. We have been working sun up to sun down just about every day trying to make up for the season starting so late. I'm pretty sure we still had snow on the ground last week. In the month I've been here, I've helped build a shed, helped build a 96 foot hoop house, learned to ride a couple tractors, helped set up irrigation, transplanted a million veggies out in the field, and generally survived the random weather Minnesota throws at us.
Other than the crazy amount of work, life is quiet on the farm. It's taken me a bit to readjust to not hearing common city noises. The only sound of a motor comes from the tractors or the occasional delivery. Spotting an unfamiliar car on the farm gives everyone pause to go check out who it may be. Our one visitor so far has been Dave. He has a local maple tapping operation and came to help us with building the hoop house for a day. The bottle of syrup he left is like liquid gold.
The pictures below are posted somewhat in chronological order.
