I found this farm through the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardener's Association Apprenticeship program: http://www.mofga.org/Programs/FarmApprenticeships/tabid/502/Default.aspx<br />I think there are many apprenticeship programs like this one in various states and countries around the world. I recommend the experience!! And I can completely relate to your desire to move to the country, having lived in cities myself for years :-) Good luck and I hope your dreams of having chickens and other wonderful creatures come true soon!Kitchen Vignetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189372660575801386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-39104917423649335222012-07-20T10:39:53.458-04:002012-07-20T10:39:53.458-04:00The idea of growing your own vegetables in a farm ...The idea of growing your own vegetables in a farm like this, it's amazing. However, I also know it's hard, my grandfather used to have a small land with different types of fruis and grapes for doing wine and all that work is hard but i think it is very satisfactory at the end, isn't it? <br /><br />I have already published your receipt for doing ice bowls.Thanks a lot for let me share it with Spanish people. <br />http://experienciasdecolores.wordpress.com/2012/07/20/bowls-de-hielo-y-flores/<br /><br />Thanks and best regards, AnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-21836683164966391832012-07-18T16:27:36.308-04:002012-07-18T16:27:36.308-04:00Loved this post!

We have a couple of gardens now on our small yard and breed rabbits but we have big dreams of chickens (against code), fruit trees, goats, sheep, a bigger garden and so much more. I'd love an opportunity to do something like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-91427482880093753442012-07-15T12:12:28.805-04:002012-07-15T12:12:28.805-04:00merci ma belle, je suis si fière de toi aussi, et ...merci ma belle, je suis si fière de toi aussi, et on se voit très bientôt hein?! bisous bisous bisousKitchen Vignetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189372660575801386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-51165716061194110462012-07-15T12:11:28.302-04:002012-07-15T12:11:28.302-04:00Merci pour l'encouragement Marie-C!! :-)Merci pour l'encouragement Marie-C!! :-)Kitchen Vignetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189372660575801386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-61476311018562327482012-07-14T17:36:04.549-04:002012-07-14T17:36:04.549-04:00these pictures are so stunning!!

I recently visited an organic farm and was stunned to see how unbelievably dedicated the two owners were, putting in so much effort and sacrificing so much of their own lives in their quest to grow good food while also respecting nature. We need these passionate people more than we realize; their work is truly admirable. You should be really proud to be a part of the organic farming movement as a blogger and an apprentice, even when it means shovelling manure for hours... Keep up the good work!Marie-Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15803007967887091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-28291773378908249512012-07-13T18:13:29.544-04:002012-07-13T18:13:29.544-04:00HI Gina, Kevin did mention the CSA and I think tha...HI Gina, Kevin did mention the CSA and I think that is so great! I'd love to hear how you find the experience and what goodies you'er receiving. I used to get a CSA share in Halifax and it was like Christmas every time a new box came. I would pop the lid off and inhale the fresh herb & veggie smells and it would make me so happy. It's great because it would also sometimes force me to eat veggies I might not otherwise buy and to find new recipes... Now I'm on on the other end, harvesting the vegetables for everyone, it's so neat to see this side of it. Enjoy being a CSA member, it's a a wonderful way to connect with farming and where our food comes from! xoxoxKitchen Vignetteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189372660575801386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2986614298082910318.post-17590278427264737732012-07-13T18:08:01.272-04:002012-07-13T18:08:01.272-04:00Thanks Pam!
