Today we worked with Steve and Mish planting their tomatoes. 600+ for their CSA and restaurant sales and to dry and can. Salsa and Sun-dried Tomatoes!In the afternoon Steve's brother and his wife came by with a baby deer they rescued, whose mother had been hit by a car and was wandering near her when they were on their way home. They have been getting goats milk from 'Pacific' momma of the new baby goat 'Willa' - who are on pasture at the farm right now.
We had so much fun with this deer, so sweet.

It was a pretty monumental day of planting. And hot! At lunch we had a strawberry toast under the apple trees and at the end of the day, we managed to prop the camera up on the cart for a group photo. As dusk began to settle, even though we were all pretty tuckered out, we decided to go to the Helvetia Tavern to celebrate. None of us had been there yet and it's just a few miles from the farm. It was a great idea. One of those days when dinner and a cold beer tastes soooo good.
