We enrolled in Piedmont Farm School (through the NC Cooperative Extension) this year after spending 2013 working hard to plan our farm future. PFS has been a wonderful educational experience not only in the classroom, but most of all on field trips. The field trips give us a wonderful opportunity to talk with the other aspiring farm students, and avid farmers. We share plans for our farms and insight on our practices. We learn closely just how hard farm life is, but how rewarding it is too when you see the fruits of your labor.
Every month Derrick and I do our homework together as a couple, work on our business plan, research other farms that are using the practices we aspire to use, and discuss our plans for BatCrow Farms. Our small farm is constantly evolving. Our ideas grow and change often as we learn more about what we are capable of and what our time limits us to. As we both work full-time jobs, we spend as much time as possible working on our farm future during our evenings and weekends. Our hope is to love what we do here on the land and to create healthy products that we are proud of, while sharing our journey with others.
