• Things & Thanksgiving

  I just found out that one of my photos of the farm is going to be on the cover of the NOFANY Winter Newsletter.  NOFANY is  the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York.  We have signed the NOFANY pledge and are working towards organic certification.  I'm very excited that our farm will be on the cover. 

  

  For the last two issues,  I have supplied them with several of my photos for the interior pages.  This is our first cover.

  I've been working part-time for my favorite herbalist  Susun Weed.   I just designed a website for her and have a few more changes here and there until I make it live.  It's been a very fun project and I'm learning so much.

  I also volunteered to create our local farmers market website.  The Amenia Farmers Market   is the only indoor Winter market in our area.  I am loving the opportunity to sell my Sun Powered Herbal products.  I actually have a local business coming by the market this week to see my products,  she wants to put them in her store!  I just realized that I have 18 different soaps that I make.  I'm working on my online store but it's taking a little longer than I  like.  

  Thanksgiving is next week and we have so much to be thankful for.  I give thanks each day.  Joshua is very thankful for his turkey girls.  These sweet turkeys show folks that turkeys have feelings too.  Joshua does not like that so many folks tend to focus so much on eating a beautiful sweet bird versus being thankful,  which he says is what "Thanksgiving" is really about! 

  

  

  Joshua wants us to remember the "true" meaning of Thanksgiving.

  A few shots of the critters today enjoying the warm November sun.
