What's Happening on the Farm
-penned by Brittni
Farm
verb 1. make one's living by growing crops or keeping livestock. "he has farmed organically for five years"
2. an emotional and financial rollercoaster where lives are on the line but at the whim of Mother Earth
Farming is such an interesting and emotional venture. It is remarkable the feeling I receive giving out baskets full of nutritious foods and seeing you all use those foods to fuel your families. Or seeing children grow as they find the small wonders held within the fences of the market garden. It has even given me the gift of once again seeing wonder and awe in nature. I can stand outside now and just smile at the beauty nature holds for an hour rather than finding a way to waste my time on my phone.
However- our beautiful and giving Mother Earth can also, in a swift minute, take all that beauty and bounty away. This past week, areas of upstate New York and large areas of Vermont have seen devastating flooding. Unfortunately for farmers, the rain we so often pray for to grow our crops, has washed away, contaminated or killed whole farms worth of summer crops in a matter of days. Often time, market gardeners put down large amounts of money in seeds, equipment and time in preparing for the end of July and Augusts crop. These farms have lost all of that, with little to no hope for recuperating money or even getting a life sustaining crop this year. Vermont and upstate New York is a unique and needed agricultural field in the country. For the most part, ag here is made up of farms like ours- small family farmed, close to the community and just trying to do the peoples work. This months loss will be felt for years and by many.
Please keep Vermont farmers in your thoughts and if you feel the desire to help in other ways I have added a reputable organization below.
At the end of the day, you have done so much for your community by supporting a small farm. It means the world to us that you are dedicated to keeping your food source close to your home and having an immediate impact on your community. And I feel lucky that our market garden is wet but not under water. We are blessed to have you all and I thank you for trusting us in these times.
