{david bazan was here}
avid Bazan and a small gathering of fans came to the farm for a House Show this past Saturday evening. It was great to hear David in person. His voice is so powerful and yet soothing at the same time. We got to meet a lot of great people, see old friends, and after the show a couple hand-fulls of us stayed and hung out with David in the Boiler Room for a couple hours. I’m not going to lie, I am a little bit exhausted from the week of preparing and other daily tasks, and then the late night {or early morning}. But it’s our first Baby Days event today, and that excitement is keeping the fire lit. I’ll probably crash after all the kiddos are gone ;)

Thank you and congratulations to Cinnamon for being our first official CSA member! She came to the Farmers’ Market this morning and gave us the first CSA check.
We’ve had lots of people sign up for the CSA and we are thrilled to have more join the fun!
Now it’s time for half the AFF team to continue selling at the market while Mr. Farmer Jones and I head back to the house to finish getting ready for the house show tonight! It’s a full weekend but it’s going to be a blast!


t is absolutely one of the most pastoral looking scenes on the farm when the sheep are in the orchard grazing. I always look forward to having them munching away so close to the house. You could just watch them for hours. I actually will go out with my camera, a glass of ice tea and a magazine and sit under a tree in the paddock with the sheep are milling about or sleeping around me. I hope that the mamas start having their babies while they are still in the orchard!













ovingly, Tyler’s middle brother, Kyle, has spent hours on our garden for the past 3+ years we have been here. He has been the one in charge of pretty much all things garden. Kyle will be our Garden Manager for the 















ll these adorable little faces I got to stare at while editing the photos, totally brightened my day! Some day Mr. Farmer Jones and I will have wee ones of our own, but until then, I think I’ll keep inviting cutie pies over to the farm for me to just look at :) I’m really looking forward to the 










e brought the sheep up to the front yard to help us mow down the grass, and so that the kids could all get a close look at them for Baby Days earlier this week. We have a breed of sheep called Katahdin. They are a hair sheep, so they shed their hair this time of year. It is always humorous to see them while they are shedding because it looks like they have dread-locks. Total hippie-rockers :)



ur first Baby Day event was a great success! We all had so much fun! I had a great time getting to know the younger part of our local community and their parents. I also got some great photos of the day! Yesterday, my friend, Shawn of
