It seems that projects just naturally grow. This one is no exception. In addition to building our new adobe earth pizza oven we've added an opportunity to pitch in and plant a salsa garden. We think 15 to 20 families can join in this coop effort with over a hundred tomatoe and peppers plants, maybe do some weeding from time to time and come back in 80 days for a canning party and take home a supply of personalized salsa. We supply the land and water, you supply the love.
In addition the our scare crow workshop, we have added fanciful face painting by visiting artist Natalie Dale. Lest we forget little educational walking tours of the orchard and discussion about our fruit production.
This is a small little farm but still big enough for lots of friends and family. Although we will start with chicken eggs for only about 10 or 12 families, we expect that within 4 years as our fruit trees mature and we add livestock and a hot house, that we will supply 40 families with 30 tons of fruit and fruit products, 100 families with eggs, 20 or 30 with vegetables and10 with milk and a little cheese.
I warn you, our place is a little rough around the edges, a bit like frontier, but that makes it a ground floor opportunity.
