Things are coming along on the farm. Baby chicks are in- coop and run are up. Some of the garden is in as well. This growing season will be the base for opening the farm next spring.

Good people news seems like a nice change. Why is this type of news so rare?

“Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said.

We are at our best when we serve others.”

July 12, 2021- Land clearing has begun! We have drawn up the plans for our barn renovation and met with our contractor. Fingers crossed for the barn renovation to be complete by winter. We plan to be open for camping by spring of 2022- sooner if we can get our camp shower and bathroom completed.
