So I apologize for the complete disorganization and lack of explanations for these photos, but I get antsy spending too much time on the computer. (hopefully most are self-explanatory).
The short and sweet of the first month of living on the farm is that it's been an amazing experience. We spent a morning doing a photo shoot for a Danish fashion magazine featuring "young farmers." I've met incredible people and explored the beautiful Hudson Valley rock climbing in the Gunks, doing a century ride, swing dancing every week, throwing pottery, watching movies at an independent non-profit movie theatre, live music, running on the beautiful windy secluded roads and spending a lot of time playing in the mud.
My room-mate, Maureen, is awesome. Dave is patiently teaching us everything, including tractor maintenance, soil testing and of course all involved with producing food. Farming is hard work, but a very rewarding experience. We've already filling our plates with asparagus. Life is in full bloom as we anticipate our first pick-up at the end of the month. So much to talk about and share, but I hope these photos will do for now.
Cheers!
Maureen took many of these first photos. Dave took the photos with the red tractor.
