One of the reasons we came to farming is the community-ness of it--a way of bringing people together--a place for relationship building. This past long weekend was what we were envisioning. Our son Nate (23) came from Reno to help with some major building projects. We now have a 100 foot 'high tunnel' greenhouse in the Bridlewood garden and an 8' deer fence around that new garden. Dad helped with putting fence posts in while Mom and I planted potatoes. Our friend Smuel prepared the rows to put potatoes in. And, another very good friend, Dan Andersen, came over on his first day of 'retirement' to help frame a walk-in cooler in the metal building. Beats watching TV!
