updates from the artist and gardener

The battle for water continues...BUT we picked our first pepper last night. We've gotten fresh peas, greens, potatoes...the battle for broccoli continues with the deer...and it's getting personal now, they keep eating it before we can get it picked!! Still on our quest to replace the jobs, this place has a good work ethic and treats employees good...but the getting up to milk at 4:30am to be in vehicle by 5:30 to drive the hour to work, work the straight 10+ hours no breaks or lunch (so I can make the farm markets but 6:45am til 5:15 pm most days) to drive home (another hour) to 4H meetings, next weeks fair, tearing down that barn still as we can, chores leaves us eating dinner at 9pm usually and bed at 10pm....to be up at 4:30 and start all over :/ :/ gets to be way to long of days!! Know any grants, real ones not buy the book and don't qualify cause we aren't non profit? I still say it would take such a minute amount of the google + users to donate a buck or two and the farm would be paid off letting us work it like we should.
