Hay Season…Is Almost Here!

A wonderful sunset to finish a day of making hay.

When people ask me what I enjoyed most last summer as an intern, it is one question that I don’t have to stop and think about.  I know.  My favorite part was hay season, which we were thrown into the first week we arrived.  It was the first time that I helped make hay and … Read the Rest

Pacing
avatar

I had the tremendous pleasure of discovering that my life is so much more in sync when I pace my day. This word wasn’t part of my vocabulary before Buxton Farm.  I was molding a different clay before Buxton. Simpler in some ways but not nearly as creative, challenging, educational or inspirational. Buxton is teaching … Read the Rest

How Do YOU Swim Upstream?

I love big pictures, overall goals, and discussing big ideas. I’m an idealist. It’s one of the best characteristics I got from my dad (hi, Dad!). I also love details, reason, and the sense of accomplishment in getting done what needs to be done. So I can be pragmatic, too. (Thanks for that, Mom!) One … Read the Rest

I love Spring! It’s my favorite season. The transition from dark, cold winter to bright, warm summer. For a gardener its a fledgling time when only the quick growing plants are being harvested. As a farmer it’s a busy season, every thing that had to wait to be done until warm weather arrived now needs … Read the Rest

Garden Harvest

I will be the first to admit that I am not really sure what I am doing with the garden here at Polyface, besides the main goal of just growing a lot of food.   There is still so much about gardening that I don’t know.   This past week showed some weak spots that … Read the Rest

Feeding Ourselves and Others

The prayer is simple yet contains meaning and intention. I know a few people to who sing to their birds during harvest. We have too many birds, we’d run out of songs! But for us, this prayer sets things in motion, in a mindset that is settling and significant to what we are living as … Read the Rest
