Description
This weeks updates are pretty simple. We talk about piglets and names, the chickens in the pasture and some a la carte CSA shares.
Then we jump into the Farmers Choice that Kelli sprung on Andy - "are you a part-time farmer". What does that phrase mean, if anything. What decisions are impacted when you are "part-time" or not deriving all your income off the farm. There's a bit of debate and some good conversations around this topic.
