August 18, 2009

First day on Flatwoods Farm with Tim and Lucy. They gave me a tour of the farm. They showed me all the different fields.
-- Asparagus Patch
-- Back 40 (5 acres) (planted with organic wheat for soil)
-- Darlin Patch
-- Lower 50
-- New 40 (3 acres) (planted with organic wheat for soil)
-- Teepee
-- Twin Pines
-- Upper 40 ( main field)(planted living and thriving clover that we have planted for our green mulch, cover crop and source of nitrogen. It is also very beneficial to wildlife. To plant a plot we first mow it, then plow the plot and till in the organic matter. We are then ready for planting.)
