Girl and family looking for land... This "all organic" stand you see was a heartbreak. We found 4.2 acres of beautiful local land that would have been a dream come true. Sadly, it did not work out. I mourn for the lavender farm, peach trees, cultivated veggie patches and farm house that almost became ours. So the search is back on. All I know is that it is becoming a true calling. I think about it everyday. It was in listening to Barbara Kinsolver's book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" on CD in my car on a very long drive, that I felt affirmed in a way of life that I am seeking for myself and my family. So follow my journey. I look at my own garden and wonder if I will be leaving her, not for something better, because this is where I discovered my passion for growing food afterall, my little corner backyard patch. I do hope for a place to grow on a bigger scale though- I do have dreams of becoming a micro-farmer of sorts, even if that "micro" is really micro. I see a new energy of environmentalism and celebration of things small and local in my community, and I am inspired to become an active part of it. So this is my New Year's resolution, as I feel very resolved. Take me to a land where I can grow food like I've never grown it before!
