Actually, I am very rarely at the farm, you read right, I only do the market. But, I live about 2 hours from the farm. I live 'in the city' outside Seattle. Where I live, gangs and violence are prevalent... but that said, there is a tight knit community here too. It just takes looking. I have found this community, and I am SO blessed (I honestly would not live here long without it) and I love living here because of the connections I have made. But it isn't a place I would 'choose' to live. Like ever. We are here because our lives are here.... and we love it because we love the life we have created. It isn't an organic existence to be a homesteading, homeschooling mama in this area. I am considered terribly strange. ;)<br /><br />I don't know how else to describe it. But I do love my community, and my friends. They make this place shine with potential.<br /><br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-23653544488272268472009-09-29T09:04:24.174-07:002009-09-29T09:04:24.174-07:00Wow that is so interesting.

You work for this farm (with the party) and sell their produce for them on Sundays. Do you help plant the produce for just sell. I am a better saleswoman personally. I have lots to learn.

I'm very much enjoying your blog. A ...Hi Val. I'm very much enjoying your blog. A friend came across the bowl covers and sent the link to me and I started looking around at your site. It is beautiful, all that you do! I have a lot of very similar interests. My famiy is currently looking to move to Washington or Oregon so that we can grow all (or as much as we possibly can) of our own food. I've been searching around for the right place to do this but don't know anyone to ask who has the same values/ideals as me. So I thought I would try you! We'd like to have a little bit of land (like a 1/2 acre...) but not be too far out from the rest of the people. Do you have any suggestions on areas of WA that would be good for a garden growing, chicken raising, farmer's market shopping, nature loving, craft making, homeschooling,community loving, dumpster diving, extended breastfeeding, hiking, biking, walking mama of 3 little ones? My personal email is ladybuggk@aol.com if you'd rather respond there. Any suggestions you could offer would be so greatly appreciated :)<br /><br />KristaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-56080270342608074832009-09-28T12:47:50.321-07:002009-09-28T12:47:50.321-07:00The food looks incredible!

I live in a big city... that is known all across the state for it's crime. To find this community in that... well it takes a lot of effort. lol! It is very true though.... I am very blessed.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-41825050052344559092009-09-28T10:32:11.079-07:002009-09-28T10:32:11.079-07:00Wow!
