Dear All,
this will be your last bag for the winter share. We still have carrots, onions and potatoes to sell when I am back from Germany.
Kira and I will be leaving Wednesday 6.30am on the bus to Syracuse and fly from there. We are packing and are excited. This year I will visit with my family, college community friends and hopefully go to the BIO FACH in Nuernberg, an organic farming conference, where I hope to meet some old college friends and see German horticulture equipment. I also want to visit a vegetable porcessor who washes, peels and cuts veggies, so they can be sold to large kitchens in colleges or factories. Our North Country Grown Coop here could sell so much more if it we had prepared veggies. We have a dream of a process kitchen some day for the Coop.
The last weekend I am planning to go to a 30 year reunion of a high school project where we built a timber frame baking house on a retreat farm one hour from Hamburg. In 1983 we fund raised, organized materials and learned statics for nine month and built the house in two weeks and the following weekends with the help of a timber framer. I will be seeing high school buddies and teachers and be baking bread and butter cake in the oven, That project was the most empowering class in my school years. Here are pictures of the baking house built in 1989 in Huell Germany.

Kira and Carol Carol has been successfully dried up and we don't have to milk her anymore. She can put all her energy into growing her little calf, due in April. We are slowly eating up the cheeses I made. I am hoping to eat some good cheeses in Germany and chocolate and bread and ....
I hope you enjoyed the veggies. We had to heat the basement during the very cold week to keep them from freezing. I had banked the foundation with hay.
peace, Dulli
