Farm Week One!

For the 2012 Colorado growing season, roughly April through December, I will be working in a group of like-minded interns in order to learn as much as possible about organic farming. My intent for this blog is to document our adventures as we  progress through one photo a day to share with families and friends. I'll do my best to update bi-weekly. I hope you'll enjoy.

Again, Elena, Tanea and Lucia, three of the most photogenic interns
taking a break on a hay bale stack we had just completed.

The irrigation ditch from hell. We spent the greater part
of two days digging corn husks and mud out of it to
prepare it for water on Monday.

My reward for a brutal day hand planting two acres of Rhubarb-
freshly harvested spinach and green onions

So, there you have it. My first week at Grant Family Farms at a glance. It has already been incredibly hard, fun, exhausting, and rewarding. I can't wait for what the season has in store and I hope you'll check in on our journey every so often.

XO,
