Our farming operation is continuing to grow and our addition of a combine has helped our bottom line and our quest for true sustainability. We were able to plant about 50% of our acreage with saved seed this year and will hopefully get to 100% in the next couple of years as we save and refine appropriate varieties for our farm. This winter we currently have about 50ac planted with a variety of crops including wheat, rye, triticale, vetch, beans, turnips, mustard, and kale. We are really excited about two experimental plots where we are growing ancient Khorasan and Einkorn Wheat. This summer we plan on cover cropping the fields with buckwheat and sunflowers. We are going to start adding pigs and chickens back to our farm this year and hopefully with good crop harvests, we will have enough grain to supplement them and have some available for sale next year. We are in the process of getting two hoop houses planted and a small greenhouse up for veggie starts. We are implementing keyline design, permaculture, and silvopasture on the farm where we create swales, plant fruit and nut trees, and farm the alleys between the trees. Hopefully, we will get a field fully planted by spring with potatoes and garlic growing in the alleys. We defiantly have a lot of work ahead of us, with the goal of having a farm that produces the majority of our diet and is a model for other farms striving to produce food in a humane, ethical, and socially conscious manner.
