2021 - The Year of New Beginnings

With everything that went down in 2020 (who would have guessed we are living through a pandemic) my mindset for moving forward with the farm halted. This may have been obvious based on lack of blog posts.

With the new year and much reflection, I feel refreshed and highly motivated to make this year a year of new experiments and as much learning as possible. Specifically for the farm, I would like to learn how to graft fruit trees and get a better understanding of what vegetables grow best in what conditions.
