Howdy and Happy New Year from your local organic farmers! I want to reintroduce ourselves for any new folks and share some of our good energy, and plans, heading into the new year.
John and I sat down on Sunday, New Year's Day, reviewing 2022 - wins and losses, lessons learned, etc. - and began visioning and projecting for 2023. This will be our 12th season on the Alternative Roots Farm!!!
We have big plans this year (every year?!) that include finishing building our screened-in porch, which last Mays storm took down, and building our new pig barn. It is a year of projects, which are many, but we are up to the task. Our annual planning meeting brought up new strategies, inspiration and a welcoming vision for the season - and years - ahead.
I see more pigs, more fruit and more fun in our future! We hope you continue to follow along (and maybe introduce a friend or two) with our farm this year!
While following along with our farming shenanigans you’ll learn about...
-canning and preservation
-gardening
-self-reliance and resilience
-homesteading & organic orcharding
-farrowing heritage hogs
-winter greenhouse growing
-what we offer at our certified organic farm
...and whatever else comes our way as we continue to build our skills, and passions, on the farm and in nature.
Through our farming journey we’ve seen how much need there is for a deeper connection to food and farming. The food system is broken and it needs to rebuilt by small farms and people like you, supporting those farms. There is such a disconnect from what real food looks like, how much food is wasted in the current system, how much nutrition has been lost in conventional food, how important putting food up is and the list goes on.
We are passionate about this adventure, and we are excited to have you joining us as we grow and evolve along our journey on this farm and this great planet!
