Rhonda's Ramblings

Jason and I made a quick trip to my hometown this past weekend to attend Sierra Nevada Small Farm Progress Days.

Basically, it’s an event for promoting small scale farming, networking with other small scale farmers and of course, showing off equipment. That’s really why farmer’s get together.

But, you won’t find these small farmers showing off their big tractors, but rather they show off their small equipment, a lot of which they have modified to best suit their particular needs. There were different types of hand seeders, a flame weeder (doesn’t that one sound fun?) and a celery hiller.

There were some great information and organizations there as well. We came away with our arms full of pamphlets and reading material and plenty of renewed dreaming and hoping and planning for our small scale farm.
