Farm Journal
In subtle and blatant ways, farmers are professionally discounted and personally discouraged. I adamantly believe agriculture can be a rewarding, and healthy full time career. By writing about my work and sharing my progress, I hope to show how organic farms and farmers enrich and strengthen the communities they serve. ~April
Joyful Farming is:
aligning life, land, and community
believing in power and possibility
restoring health and home
nurturing relationships
honoring abundance and vocation
celebrating creativity and change
“I love your newsletter. The produce is so delicious, but the spirit of the farm lives in how you both communicate with us. So grateful for you all.”

Life At Hand
It is past time we give up the false pretense of labels, set down stereotypes and over-simplified classification tendencies. Don’t dance with generalizations, or one-dimensional constructs. Be agents of change by engaging with those discrete and precocious living beings full of surprise that reside within both arms’ and hearts’ reach.
