| peppers and sweet corn delivered to one of the orphanages ..most people eat what we would use as animal corn . the sweet corn is new there .. imagine having sweet for for the first time . |
 |
| the addition on the barn is almost done .. this will be a great summer stall for the cows as well as storage for another 1000 bails of hay |
 |
| they have just planted the next crop of cucumbers , these ones will be ready just as the first field is coming to an end |
 |
| what a good looking barn |
 |
another week and we will be in full swing with the tomatoes .. looking like another bumper crop on the way  |
 |
| the hurbs are doing great as well .. will be great for tea and goats milk soap.. they will also be a nice addition to the food hampers that we put together . |
 |
| More corn , I doubt that they will be able to keep up with the corn, but it is very good for the animals as well so we did not plant any cattle corn this year .. they can have what is missed in the picking |
 |
| Emma thought it would be nice to have a row of flowers to be able to give flowers with the hampers as well as to brighten up things around the guest house .. our one thin row has sort of gotten away on us .. This is Calendula , it has anti inflammatory healing properties when in the goats milk soap . |
 |
| the walk way has been re leveled and the edges have been poured |
 |
| this is one of the Tamarack trees that we planted .. one of 1500 evergreens .. |
 |
| we will be making apple sauce soon .. Aigula makes the best |
 |
| we planted some purple cabbages this year to mix it up a bit |
 |
| good healthy corn |
 |
| this is the spearmint |
 |
| beautiful herbs |
 |
| Master gardener Nick is checking out the apple trees in the orchard |

 |
| the pumpkins are starting to take shape |
 |
| Peppers are all weeded |
 |
| the basil is drying |
Just a little taste of some of the abundance at the farm again this summer . Once again we want to thank everyone that has made it possible for us to operate the farm. I keep coming back to the point that the greatest thing about the farm is not all the food we are able to donate to those in need, but it is the HOME and HOPE that the farm is to so many kids , not just the ones out of the orphanages now, but the kids that will be on their own soon, but know that they have a future . Thank you for believing with us
I will leave you with this picture of Aigula and Marat cutting up the green beans
