Wild Meadows Farm

Wild Meadows is a farm run by Kim and Joel. They grow a lot of veggies and sell them. Some of the things that are growing right now are tatsoie, lettuce, tomato, leeks, fennel, peppers and lots lots more. Everything is certified organic. When we first got here we spent a lot of time "double digging" the beds in the solar passive greenhouse (high tunell) to prepare them for planting. That was in Febuary. Double digging is a good way to get nice loose soil and remove the rocks. I dont feel like explaining it though.
The high tunell is all planted now so we have been working on another section of garden. At this garden there are 30 100 square foot gardens. All the soil was turned by us, not machines. They are big on people power here. I made sure to bring up the point that there has to be a balance between doing repetive work like turning soil and more interesting thought provoking work. Kim and Joel agreed. Every day we start work at 6 and work till 8. We eat breakfast and then work 9 to 12. Then we have the rest of the day off.
There are 6 people total on the farm. Kim and Joel, Michelle and I, and Travis and Jen. Travis and Jen are the other interns. They'll be here until the rest of the growing season. Next year there moving onto their own farm so they wanted to do an internship here to get a good feel for things. Michelle and I like them a lot.
There is a dog here named Praire. They feed her vegan dog food and she seems really healthy. Although she does hunt a little bit.
There is a cat name Alice. She always has some animal in her mouth and really eats here cat food because she is stuffed with chipmunk, rabbit, or whatever else she found that day.

The land here is beautiful and I'm very happy and grateful to be here.
