Long Market Day

Yesterday Chris and I had two markets to attend. The first was from 10-2 and the second, 3:30-7:00. That made for a very long day. The first market was a little slow, but the afternoon market picked up pace a little. Right now at the market we have flowers, herbs, strawberries, onions, and a few greens. I know that everyone is waiting for more of the produce to come in. I was excited to see that the squash have little babies on them.
I hope to load some pictures soon. The goats and the chickens are growing so fast, that I hope to get some pictures of them up while they are still babies. Our barn cat "Spooky", has had her litter, but we are not sure where they are yet.
Up for today is the market at Lakeside, which I will do by myself, and then I work tonight 11-7. Sounds like a long day huh? It will be! I am sure this afternoon's market will be a little slow, but there is always hope.

Giving this Blogging a try

This is my first post for my new blog. My family and I are having such a great time on our farm, that I thought I would share. I am a nurse, and my husband is now farming full-time. We are vegetable farmers, that are giving the trade of market farming a go.
My husband and his family have farmed most of their lives, but he is back to it after a sixteen year hiatus. Most of this is new to me, and I am learning as I go. We have two girls (six and eight), who are making this even more enjoyable. We do three markets a week now, and love every minute of that part. I have never been so busy or tired in my life, but I am loving it!
