Farm Projects

Craig always has about 20 different farm projects going on at any given time.  There's the daily stuff like taking care of the animals and keeping the blackberries at bay, the seasonal stuff like planting Christmas tree seedlings and young fruit trees or chopping wood for heat in the winter, and the bigger projects like the barn loft or fencing in more pasture.  Slowly but surely, things take shape and old  projects get done and new ones get added to the list.  It's hard but satisfying work.
