Hustlin' Like Raindrops...... to make ends meet.
Here's another interesting NY Times article on the nature of the farming landscape today. It is mostly dealing with the growth of "small" farms, and how people have off- farm jobs to make ends meet. I think a lot of people already know or have a feeling this is true, but will it carry over into discussion of legit farms, and what it takes to make it? On a local level, if you are farming part-time or small it's still easy to get marginalized as being too small or inconsequential.In my mind, there is still a lot of wonderful oppurtunity there. Check out this emerging young farmers movement. http://thegreenhorns.wordpress.com/

Boulder County Farmers' Market Opening Day
I hope everyone is excited about the prospects of being able to get fresh food from closer to home once again. The Boulder County Farmers' Market opens up this Saturday April 4th, 2009 at the usual spot next to Boulder Creek (13th and Canyon). Hours of operation are 8am to 2pm every Saturday until November. R.A.S. Farms will be on the lot with several fresh batches of soap. Alizah has been pumping out several different favorites like Rocky Mountain, Lavender, and Island Spice (the green, gold, ites bars). If all of the snow melts off, and we can get under the rowcovers, then there might be some spinach and arugula at the stand as well. Hope to see you there.
Forward ever~
