One of the things that I enjoy on the farm is the ability to stop and pick fruit or berries while I am taking a break. This time if year, you might think there we don’t have a lot of berries and growing plants. But I stopped for a few minutes on Friday and snacked from berries I was able to pick right off the vines.
Goji Berries
The goji berries have really produced this year. If you want goji berries just let me know and we’ll set up a time for you to come pick them.
Figs
The last round of figs is about to hit. I’m not sure if they will ripen before the first frost, but it was nice enjoying the fruit off the vine as I took a break

Connie has her certificate in Sustainable Agriculture from CCCC. She really enjoyed the classes at the community college and learned a lot. The program was a mixture of classes and work on the school farm. What she learned has really added to our technical proficiency on the farm.
