Farms!

Farm life is good life. I've been at Allandale, Boston's last working farm, for three weeks now, working as a greenhouse/livestock assistant. I especially like working with the chickens. They're constantly making me laugh and i get to hunt for their eggs twice a day. The lambs are cute but not nearly as much fun.

Here are a few of the 200 or so egg-laying ladies:



This is my favorite of the three farm trucks.



Last Saturday we set up a booth at Powissett Farm in Dover to sell earrings and baked goods. Highlights included selling out of bread and spotting a woman licking whoopie pie icing off Saran wrap. Yes, they were that good.









I think Emily and I should start a baked goods co-op in JP. Like a CSA (community supported agriculture), households could sign up to get a box of bread and treats each week. It could be the first CSB, B being for bakery. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
