Our Portland friends, Shaun and Kirsten, are in the process of moving out to the farm this month. This is good news for many reasons. It means we will have more help on the farm next year, more company on those long country days, and the plants will receive more individual attention. We'll be able to continue creating our vision of a garden of eden-esque acre of mixed annual and perennial forest garden, while guilding and spending more time with our little fruit and nut orchard.
Sean has a successful bike hat business and Kirstin just finished school at PSU. She has a strong interest in children's gardens and the edible schoolyard movement taking place throughout the country right now. Both are serious bikers and the picture above was taken at Fawnwood in July. We were their first overnight stop on their bike trip to Alaska.
Check out Shaun's Blog if you'd like to read about their bike trip or more details and pictures on their move to Fawnwood.
It should be an exciting year ahead!
