The BW portfolio is coming together: Animals, Farmers, Crops, and Farming Activities.
The title of this body if work, Down on the Farm, is taken from Nancy Roe's newsletter from Green Cay Farm. I have found that all the women farmers I have met are role models and inspirational.

Westward to see a movie...

Out at Heritage Hen Farm, Svetlana and Marty hosted over 250 folks to free Chipolte Burritos and a movie, Fresh. Chipolte has long been a supporter of local agriculture since I first ate one of their burritos in Denver. I was able to grab a half burrito and enjoyed an evening of great conversation, friends, and photography. I was happy as a cow grass grazing.

 I also want to say these four people above feed my family and some friends on a weekly basis. I only have to visit the regular grocery for things like crackers, flour, bacon, almond butter....all my dairy, eggs, and veggies are farm fresh. That's what I call spoiled taste buds.
Thanks to all those who are interested in my conservation work. I look forward to spreading the word about Florida's native lands and sustainable farming. In the coming blogging weeks, I look forward to talking about the farmers and who they are.
