Yesterday we finished our August Farm Dinner menu. Today we traded chef knives for wrenches.
There’s always a fairly long list of jobs around here that get pushed aside while we’re in the middle of Farm Dinner season.
So Sam and I spent the rainy morning getting dirty, changing fluids, pulling things apart, figuring out what needed fixing and generally discovering that a nearly 50-year-old tractor is pretty good at finding ways to keep you busy.
This is a side of Lynn River Farm that probably doesn’t show up on here often enough.
Farm Dinners might be what brings a lot of people through the gate, but behind those dinners are tractors, gardens, animals, repairs, maintenance and a whole pile of jobs that keep the farm moving and help make those dinners possible.
And after a very busy August, spending a rainy morning in the garage with my boy was a pretty good way to end our week.
