Gratitude

Thanksgiving Monday. Looking out my window over the fields as the neighbour bales hay and the goofy chickens wander by, I am grateful for:

• Gorgeous, warm sunny days to work in this fall
• An incredible crew of workers this year: staff, interns and volunteers. Truly a spectacular group - I've been really, really blessed.
• A season of living at the farm
• The joy of ridiculous chickens
• Wild apples, pears, grapes and cranberries just a short bike ride away
• Bountiful harvests
• Supportive and actively appreciative CSA members
• Solid market sales every single week - even in the rain!
• Gracious, supportive family & friends
• Sufficient pollinators in a year of decreasing populations
• Good health
• Laughter in the fields
• Exuberant, vegetable-eating children
• Being surrounded by beauty
• The taste of GOOD FOOD
• The good bread, beer and healthcare I'm able to trade vegetables for!
• The pleasure inherent in this work

THANK YOU!!
