This year has been full of many changes and July has been no exception. As the last day of July I figure it is pretty safe to say that this month has been pretty eventful. We started out the month with a rainy, cold 4th of July weekend and were greeted by our first set of WWOOF'er roommates. Adam and Jessica, a couple from Oregon, stayed on the farm for about two weeks (one of which was while we were visiting SLC). They did most of the work on the new, extra fancy chicken coop then when Jake and I got back from our vacation Jake did the finishing touches including the roof, roosts, nesting boxes, trim, and put the back wall up.
Working on the nesting boxes for the upcoming egg production...
Jake is so proud of his farmer's tan :)
Our second set of WWOOFer roomies came into town from Colorado on Wednesday. Chris and Allison are WWOOFing to find a place they want to buy land and experience organic farms along the way. I have been extremely lazy and drained from the heat since we got back last week so my contributions have been pretty minimal...which brings us to our next change...and the reason for us leaving the farm this week. Our plans were to stay until the end of August/first part of September, but as the title states, "times are changing". We will be driving back to SLC with the intention to stay there for a few days, determine what we want to keep or toss, then move up to Portland by next week or so.
We have defiantly learned and experienced a lot in our time here on the farm. It is been an opportunity that I wish more people could experience...
I will try to keep this blog updated with the continuation of our adventures, wherever they may be :)
