Welcome to The Farm at Sunnyside’s blog!
March 20, 2009
Through this forum, our goal is to share experiences in the operation of an organic vegetable and fruit farm. In order to give you the richest perspective on what we do, you’ll hear a range of different voices: the farm owners and employees as well as the occasional special guest.
We aim to cover three broad, related themes:
- The unpredictable, demanding, rewarding, exhausting, frustrating, humorous and humbling elements of running a small-scale organic agriculture business;
- Our efforts to restore and maintain a diverse and healthy ecosystem on the land where we farm; and
- The Rappahannock County, Virginia community that supports, educates and inspires us.
Whether it’s chasing bears out of the cherry orchard, growing greens in the dead of winter, fielding bizarre questions at the farmers’ market or trying to lure rodent-munching barn owls, we hope to cover a lot of ground.
We look forward to your comments and questions and to creating a site that is informative and fun.
