Camo hands

Hello! (after a long interlude of lots-of-work-and-little-blogging.) We’ve been busy all summer long, keeping the goats milked and the vegetables weeded, focusing on our CSA members and farmers markets. But we have taken some photos along the way and hopefully in the coming weeks and months we can share with you some of our summer adventures–which took us on a roller coaster ride from destructive wild pigs to bumper pumpkin harvests.

To start us off, since we’re nearing Halloween, here’s a real live Frankenstein captured on film at Foggy River Farm. This photo was taken after a long day of tomato-tying in late July or early August. If you’ve ever spent hours working with tomato plants, you’ll recognize the pervasive green stain that comes from natural chemicals emitted by tiny hairs all over the stems and leaves.
