May 21, 2015. Farm livin'

LOCATION:  Floodgate Farm in Redwood Valley, CA
WEATHER:  Cool and pleasant.  Highs  in 60s

We spent time in the garden getting more orientation.  We have to learn which flowers and leaves to include in the salad mix.  George did some mowing and weed-wacking.   We took a hike with the dog up to one of their ponds.  It was high on the mountain, with beautiful views of rolling hills and vineyards below.

Their summer intern arrived from Colorado. 

We attended the monthly Grange meeting with our homeowners.  It is a farmers' union-type organization.  There are Granges throughout California supporting farmers' rights and supporting the community.  It was a potluck.  I made a bulgher pilaf with chicken and onions.  Most of the other dishes were vegetable dishes from their gardens.
