On Sunday we held a Spring Equinox party for our friends and family to come out and enjoy the beautiful weather at the farm. We weren't quite sure how many people would come but 32 adults and 11 kids later, we were exhausted! It was a blast having everyone out - especially folks that hadn't been here in a few months since so much has changed.
I managed to not get a single picture of the party, so hopefully someone else took a few and will send me some!
The morning was supposed to be spent working with volunteers. But visiting took precedence! It was a great time for the kids to play and for everyone to see the new babies. Lily the house goat was a huge hit of course.
Lunch was prepared using only produce from the farm. We had a pasta dish with sauteed kale, collards and broccoli with pesto made from last year's basil. The salad was entirely from the garden - lettuce, arugula, carrots, shredded turnips and beet greens. Oh, and of course a handful of edible pansies!
The afternoon was spent with more people showing up for the open house portion (the part when we didn't expect any work to be done!). People played horseshoes and on the brand new huge monkey swing in the East Pasture.
It was a fun and exhausting day. I hope we have good enough weather this summer to have another party when people can actually spend some time outside!
