The arrival of 40 yards of sonoma compost marks the last step in the transformation of Oasis into a production farm. All told we maintain 1/3 acre of permanent pasture supporting 60 chickens 1/4 acre of row crops for CSA boxes and 1/2 acre of fruit orchard with 1/4 acre in the rows for production of high nitrogen high protein green manure biomass. Completion of our little piece of paradise this year will include constructed cattails wetlands for processing wastewater and underground water catchment for 38,000 gallons which is estimated to be our agricultural water use annually. The crown jewel will be construction of a 2500 square foot food processing barn or as Connie and I like to call it .. the dancehall.
