Three years ago, today, I saw for the first time the property that would become #StarFieldFarm So much has changed here since then, but my vision of this place as a kind of Rivendell has never wavered.

#kudos to Steve from the @urbanwormco for offering to replace my version 1 #urbanwormbag with version 2 after I posted in FB about my difficulties harvesting the compost. This kind of customer service is extremely rare. Now to switch my worm friends over to the new composter. #StarFieldFarm

A well deserved break & an iced tea after working on the feral apple trees with a pole cutter. It’s not the optimal time for pruning, but there were a lot of dead branches to deal with. Saw my first hummingbird of the season and the dragonflies are out in full force. #StarFieldFarm

Note to self: turn off the fence before getting veggies for dinner. #bokchoy #localfood #StarFieldFarm P.S. to the naysayers who didn’t think the electric fence would keep the creatures out: it’s working.

Proto plum I accidentally knocked off the tree when I was checking them today. The peaches are almost this size. The apples and pears are still tiny, but everything is growing well. #localfood #StarFieldFarm
