Where to start...

First, this wasn't exactly my idea. Bran thought this blog would be something I would like doing so here we go. Life at Five Acre Farms has been a transition, yep that's a good word for it. It's definitely not what I had envisioned for my life but I have grown to love it. I'm still kind of unsure of how I ended up here but I'll figure it out eventually. I used to sleep in, eat junk food, wear make-up daily, and was pretty lazy compared to what I am now. For almost two years now I have become acquainted with the 'dirty life'. It started out gradually spreading leaves on garden beds, transplanting seedlings then came getting up at 4 a.m. for the farmers market. I don't know who's cruel joke it was to start so early but that is a very unholy hour to be out of bed. For the last month I have been getting up at 6 and am at the farm by 7 a.m. picking chemical free veggies or weeding beds that are way too freaking long. I shovel compost and wash what seems like endless pounds of lettuce and greens. I have even had chickens living in the kitchen granted they were babies at the time but still. I now get to 'sleep in' until 5 for the famers market because we are more organized! So I guess that's what this is going to be about the adventures of sustainable farm living. Something to look forward to I am supposed to learn to make sauerkraut and brined pickles. I borrowed my mom's 10 gallon decorative stone crock. Her and my dad think this is hilarious.
