Greenhouse, Coming Right Up

9/18/2014

The day finally arrived that our schedule and the schedules of a couple of friends meshed and we were able to get most of the greenhouse put up last Saturday.  When I say we, I (Tiffany) was not involved, but Brad, Ray, Sam, our friend Mike, and our other friend Paul and his two sons were able to get a large part of it completed in just a few hours.  I left with the three littles to go get some groceries and while driving up the hill to our farm I was in shock to what I saw.  They had the whole main structure in place.  In ONE hour!  I couldn't believe I missed so much while I was gone.  Luckily, Sam had the camera and took a lot of pictures (over 75 to be exact), but I'll share just a few.

His first "selfie" We don't have smart phones in our family so he has no clue what that word means, but he did a good job taking his own picture.

Isaac loves to climb and he would have gone to the top if we would have let him. Makes this mama's heart skip a beat!
It was a really long day putting up the greenhouse, but it's great progress being made on the farm.  The greenhouse frame really changes the landscape of the farm.  Hopefully we will have the ends on and the plastic up in another week or so.  Then we can start growing some cool weather greens for our family and yours!

Until next time,

Dreams Really Do Come True-

9/1/2014

Tomorrow morning the family and I will trek out to the middle of Kansas to take down and load up a 30 x 60 greenhouse that will be the first step in many to fulfilling a dream B and I have had for years.  We are taking over an existing CSA (Consumer Supported Agriculture).  For those who don't know what that means, I'll give a brief description and in another post I'll explain how ours will operate.  The idea of a CSA is that a customer/family pay a set amount for a share into your farm for the goods that you grow and each week for a certain amount of months per year they receive fresh produce from your farm.  Most CSAs are fruit and vegetable base, but our goal is to grow not only the fruits and vegetables you need in your diet, but also your beef, chicken, turkey, lamb, pork, grains, eggs, sweeteners, and dairy products year round.  We dream of being able to provide as much of our own and our customers daily diet needs directly from the farm and limiting the necessity to visit the grocery store to only the things we are unable to raise or produce ourselves.  At times it is an overwhelming concept, to be responsible for growing food for not only our own family, but for over a hundred other people.  We feel so blessed to be given this opportunity and we know that this is all possible because our Lord and Savior has guided us down this path.  Many events have changed our lives this year and this is just evidence to how God shapes our lives and how He is in control. 

Our camera is MIA at the moment so there will be no pictures in this post, but I'll make up for it in the next one.

Until next time,

    I want to be the best homesteader I can be, while teaching my children at home in the school room and outside on the farm.
