We here at Jersey Children have this neat blog space but have not been really utilizing this for its true purpose. So we decided to get writing.  We want a following, we want you to think of us when you need some gardening ideas or maybe a great new healthy recipe that will blow you away. We also want to use this site to keep you posted on our happenings.   The Farm Camp schedule is in (see Events) and we are looking  forward to giving your children a really great experience on the farm. We promise they will come home each day full of fresh air, lots of new ideas on gardening and nature as well as some creative art work. There are also so many other plans in the works, we are sure the Farm Camp will be a success. For those of you who had already come out for the 2009 Mommy and Me classes and are still interested in these, they are being offered every other Thursday throughout the summer. So if you could, pass the word, sign up your children and give us some feedback. We would love to get some dialogue going and see what you want from Jersey Children, Farm Raised for this up-coming growing season.

Speaking of, this is the time to put in your orders for your seeds if you are planning on doing a backyard garden, or anything that has to do with growing. We have found some great online seed companies but check this one out: High Mowing Organic Seeds. These guys live up in Vermont and are extremely dedicated to providing seeds and advice on seeds for the support of sustainable agriculture. They have a list of benefits on their web site that offer many reasons why even something as basic as a seed can yield the most beneficial results if done from a place of stewardship for the land. The web address is www.highmowingseeds.com

In upcoming posts we will let you know how we are doing. Just so you know,  Danielle and I are going to start building our composting bins and rainwater catch barrels, as well as everything else that needs to be done before the summer. We are doing this on our own and trying to do it with re-purposed items. Can we do it? I think, but stay tuned  for the updates. I can’t imagine that this experience will not be without some good laughs and some frustration but that’s the fun of it right?
