This week, from the “winter” farmer:

“Winter” is a word that can be used as a noun, adjective, or verb. Sometimes I feel like a noun, adjective, or verb. As in, “who am I?”, or “how am I?” or “what am I doing out here?!” That last sentiment is often expressed in conjunction with what might be considered excessive amounts of cold and wet over the past couple of weeks and which doesn’t appear to being going anywhere anytime soon. Yesterday, however, was a much appreciated reprieve (truly, we were giddy with sunshine) and tomorrow I’ll take a break from “winter farming” to attend the OSU Small Farms Conference on campus. Goods will be at market under the care of our other winter farmers, Ella and Arien, who I’m sure will bask in your appreciative consumption of the fruits of our labor (which, I believe, can be used as a noun or verb but not an adjective….).
