Day 2

Chickens ‘fore Breakfast

This Morning we woke up at 7:45, getting earlier every day! We threw some clothes on and went down to green haven where we waited for Brenda and tried to wake ourselves up a bit, but no food. When Brenda Came out of her apartment we the three of us and Mike(Vick’s Child) headed to the chickens for morning setup.

On our way Brenda showed us the three compost piles where we are to put everything the chickens/ducks can’t eat into. We continued our way to the pen and spread the remaining compost out close to the door. As we opened the door the chickens swarmed the compost like flies to dead animals, and there our work began. Brenda Showed us around the barn and explained our tasks as we did them. We had to feed the cats, and give them water, clean the chickens' water and fill their food troughs. Our Most important task was making sure that doors that were supposed to be closed were closed.

Morning: Washing the Bins

After breakfast, we headed over to the CSA shed to get our job from Shannon, we were assigned the arduous task of washing out all the bins and containers that hab bin thrown in the shed last fall. That took us untill lunch, which we ate out side with the farm crew.

Afternoon: Packing and Seeding

After lunch we went over to the greenhouses to start packing dirt into trays to prepare for seeding. half way through Nigel got asked to help Shannon with rolling up some tarps. When he got back we finished up the packing and moved on to the seeding, this process involves cataloging what kind of seeds are going where and then planting them. We probably did around 30 trays before the bell rang for dinner.

Evening: Baby Chicks!
