So, here it is. The reason why we packed up our apartment in Minneapolis to move to Rochester, MN. The opportunity came to us through a kindred spirit, our downstairs neighbor in the orange duplex in Minneapolis, Monica. One afternoon her and I spoke about our futures and somewhere in the conversation the idea of gardening on a larger scale came up. She told me of her family farm where such an opportunity was available! The farm was changing since her dad just sold the dairy cattle after 30 plus years as a farmer for Organic Valley and he would might just give us some of that fertile good stuff to learn on.
I walked upstairs to Ross and said, "I think we're moving to Rochester." Eight months later we were.
So, now here we are. Embarking on a crazy adventure. Already, I'm a month and a half behind my original schedule due to weather. Rain all of April? Okay. A blizzard in May? Now, that's a little much. But now it's here. Within days I will have my hands in that dirty stuff planting our future. Seed by seed. Plant by plant. And this blog will let you in on what we're doing. The good and the bad.
Welcome to Wayfarer's Garden, I do hope you stick around.
