The Market is Open

Wow, what a great turn out last week! Thank you so much for the great response for our local farmers market.
As a farmer, I am ready for the rain to slow down so that I can get into our ground and plant. However, my good friend from Nevada is here, and I am reminded of how precious rain and water really are. As California and Nevada head into their fourth year of severe drought, I am reminded of how blessed we are to have rain and the lush foliage that it brings. The life that it creates, both plant and animal life, and the possibilities it leaves for the farmers, gardeners, and homesteaders. On our farm our sheep are really enjoying the wonderful grass that the rain has replenished. A lot of ranchers in California and Nevada are selling their animals because of a lack of forages for them. I suspect that their will be a rise in price for vegetables in the grocery stores or they will be forced to bring them in from farther locations. So today, I am so very thankful for the rain, local gardeners, and our local meat farmers who plant and grow through the rainy season.
See you at the market on Friday,
Angela
