Hey all – yeah, it’s been quiet. I’ve been away on the ship since December and have fallen behind with farm-related work, what can I say?

But things are starting to heat up. Next week, if things go according to plan, we’re going to finally, finally, finally get started on digging the well. And Logan, Lacy and their gang of Oregonian orchardists are going to break ground on the orchard with 100(!) chestnut trees in the upper pasture. We may even get started on regrading the lane. Exciting times – stay tuned!
