We are more than halfway through winter now and if you’re anything like me, you might be getting a little antsy for the growing season to start! The weather has been vacillating from wet to dry, and freezing, and thawing temperatures. And maybe you’ve noticed the sun is up a little earlier it seems these days. Oh how eager I am for the farm to warm up!

The first day of spring has finally arrived. It may not look like it on my farm that still has easily a foot of snow. But it has. 

The snow is melting quickly and the robins have returned. The sandhill cranes have also announced themselves with their call echoing off the mountains.

It is a shared commitment to creating a sustainable and fair agricultural environment.
