Updates around the farm this week:
Our Daycation here in NY,
A new to us hog feeder,
O2 and his bum leg,
Turkey ordering,
prepping greenhouse for fall.
In the Veggie Patch:
Fall Succession planting update in the garden and in the greenhouse,
CSA spotlight - Edamame.
In the CoopCast Community:We get mentioned on some blogs (thebeginningfarmer.blogspot.com and empressofdirt.net) where they say we are a good farming podcast - COOL!
And we bundle a bunch of reviews and questions together from the community to have a conversation...
We ruminate about going full time as a farmer and answer the following questions (from James and "farmer on hiatus", amongst others):
Is our aim to do this full time?
How much land do we have?
DO we want farming as primary occupation?
Are we "Big enough to sustain" our farm?
