With the close of the 2012 Bootstrap Blog season, we at the Young Farmers’ Coalition would like to extend a warm thank you to our six Bootstrap farms this season. You’ve followed them all season – from the early planning and big dreams of spring through the frustrations and challenges of summertime, and now through to the end of their first seasons managing their own operations. Feel free to read back over their posts using the 2012 Bootstrap Blog Hub, where you can see profiles and feeds for each farm.
Karla and Elizabeth from Bossy Acres, Becky from City Grown Seattle, Allyson from Full Heart Farm, Maryellen and Matt from Hartwood Farm, Stowe from Rippling Waters Organic Farm, and Liberty and Leslie from The Salad Garden: we can’t thank you enough for opening your farms up to us every month and giving us an insider’s perspective to your season.
Your insights have been invaluable for the many farmers out there also in the beginning stages of their own businesses – or at the point of still dreaming about it one day.
We will be spending the winter season putting together NYFC’s third Bootstrap year, with 2013 focusing on the ranching side of things. So stay tuned!
