Mimi Arnstein & Wellsprings Farm
We got to spend the day with Mimi taking a tour of her farm, which operates a 150 member CSA. We had a great day with perfect weather for a tour of her 5 acres diversified veggie farm. Mimi's farm is part of a three family land cooperative and she spoke about that as well her CSA and wholesale aspect of her business. We took a stroll down to the swimming hole at lunch and helped weed some spinach and mesclun beds in the afternoon. All in all an inspiring day, as she had some great words of wisdom and advice for us, ending the day with "follow your dreams!"
John Hayden & The Farm Between
During our field trip to John Hayden's The Farm Between, highlights included learning about sustainable farming practices like Hugel culture, draft horses, humanure, creating bee habitats, and meeting Kiddo the dog.
