This blog has been created to allow family and friends to share in and become part of the experience of 'Down at the Farm'.

Over time you will get to know the farm through their eyes and will see how they spend their day with each other in a very rich, organic way.
Each vignette is a snapshot in time. Follow from one to another, then on to more and you can share in our unfoldment and journey.

We lit the fire on wednesday, Finn, Omkara, Pepper and I ...
