Each year, in the spring, it feels like a new beginning. Not just for farmers, but for all life where the winters are cool. There is so much magic in the new beginning of each spring. It’s a chance to do things differently than the year before. And a chance to do things perfectly right (FAT CHANCE!).
I love this recent post on the Elephant Journal. The Super New Moon will be in Aries this month, which is pretty magical. There are some powerfully beautiful words in there:
“Together these planets will be handing us the key enabling us to finally leave our comfort zones. Sometimes the best thing we can do is close our eyes, hope for the best and jump.”
Every season it feels a bit like jumping off the edge of a cliff. Will the seeds germinate? Will the heaters break? What will the weather present us with? What major faux pas will happen? Will all of this years crew be healthy and happy? Will we fill our CSA? There are SO many what if’s. The truth is we are always moving forward and jumping off the edge of the cliff, knowing for certain that we are doing the best we can. We are doing something beautiful that we believe in with all of our hearts. When it comes down to the hard stuff we encounter, we navigate it and make the best out of each challenging situation.
We are so grateful to those of you who support our farm. You are making our dreams come true and allowing us to trust in our own magic each year. Happy Spring!
