Weed Eaters

4/1/2016

One of our organic practices for weed management is sheep. Our Florida Native sheep stroll the vineyard and willingly help out with pulling and eating weeds.

It's a win-win situation all the way around and I'd prefer this face over a bottle of Roundup any day!

My Story

My name is Georgia, the meaning of which is feminine for "tiller of the soil, or farmer." I am also a pharmacist and full time mom.

The slow work that happens on our farm is based on the belief that where things come from matters and the things made by hand are the things I cherish most.

I consider myself Nature's Sharecropper. With slow farming, much of what is grown or raised gets taken by nature. But the sharecropper always gets what she needs, and more.

I'm writing this blog to try to capture some of the challenges, joys and life moments spent as a part time farmer. Taking the time to snap photos and write blog posts will be a challenging commitment, but I think it should result in a valuable stream of memories. I hope you enjoy reading and please feel free to provide feedback!
