Farm in full swing in Spring

Well there has been much growth at Peace Farm this Spring.  The mandala gardens are really coming along.

 We did our first application of Biodynamic prep 500-507. 

Here is Matt stirring - "from vortex to chaos".

We have two new gorgeous East Freasian sheep, Opal and Gemma.  They will ultimately be bred, and used for their milk and wool.  We are still getting to know eachother but they are starting to let us stroke their cheeks. Very cute.

We have had our first two wwoofers, Vivian and Rodrigo from Chile, helping us out for the last month.  They have been fantastic - planting the market gardens and mandalas, preparing the beds, mulching, weeding, composting, mowing, and helping with feeding and caring for the animals.

Rodrigo cooked us a delicious meal of Chilean Mussel soup on their last night at Peace Farm.

Our family spent the long weekend at the beach in Sorrento.  From mountains and river to coast and rockpools.  We are so lucky to have such beautiful nature around.  These few days were a relaxing and welcome break from the busy-ness of the farm.  We all had a dip in the ocean on arrival.  It was freezing but exhilarating to have a swim.  

 Although I am loving life on the farm, it was also nice to have a change of scene for a few days.
