Honoring the Heritage of Food

We have had so many people and organizations help us out along the way these past 4 years, and in so many different ways. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is one such organization.

Honoring the Heritage of Food

The 2012 Season (Year 4 of ?)

Spring Coulee Creek

As we wrap up our 4th year at Prairie Heritage Farm, it's time to reflect, even though it doesn't seem like we've had a chance to catch our breath yet.

Probably the biggest news is, we're expecting number two May 14th. We're going to keep it a surprise, but Willa, who is now 2 years old, insists it will be a baby sister named "Pizza."

Courtney continues to work part-time and both she and I taught online classes for a university. In a little over a week, I will be spending time at our state capital working with the legislature (no, not as a venerable public servant, but as an evil capital "L" Lobbyist for a farm organization). It will be challenging in a lot of ways, but the work pays well, and unfortunately financial matters guide our decisions more often than not. At least the work will be interesting (to say the least) and it's working for an organization that I'm a member of and believe in.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

To all our family, pals, and friends yet to meet, merry Christmas and happy holidays!
