今日は、CSAシステムを導入しているジリアンとアダムのファームへ訪問。彼らはまだまだ若い世代で、ついに昨年自分たちのファームを購入。今まではいろいろなファームで勉強をしついにもったこのファーム。彼らの働く姿はいつ見ても輝いている。今年は私たちもこのファームのCSAメンバーとなり、シーズン中、毎週おいしいとれたて野菜を届けてもらうことにしました!
This is the last day of activities with Tomoko:(
We visited one of the CSA farms, Jillian and Adam's family farm! (Small family farm CSA). They are from a younger generation then most farmers. last year they bought the farm and started a CSA from scratch. Jillian worked on 5-6 different farms before and finally she got her own farm! They look so happy to be out doors working on their farm together. They are such lovely people. We became a member of their CSA this year so we will have fresh delicious vegetable from them every week for the whole season!

This is a portable chicken hut made by Adam!!! This is neat! Chickens make good soil and because this is portable, they don't have to carry chicken manure.

They use pigs too like the organic apple farm we visited earlier. Jillian used to work at the apple farm so she learned this secret from them!!

This is their new greenhouse!! Jillian says the best way to learn about vegetable farming is to work at a greenhouse !

ともこさん、、、ともこさんの植えてくださったセロリを私たちはおいしく頂きますよ~~~!!!!またご報告しますね!!
Then we transplanted celery. We will have this in our CSA box later this year when it is harvest time! Tomoko, we will have the celery you helped to plant, thanks!
さて、その後は、ともこさんにヨガに誘っていただき、3人でヨガ教室に行ってきました!久しぶりのストレッチ!う~~~毎日続けなければ、、、、、。
Tomoko invited us for YOGA! Oh it was good! We need stretching everyday,,,,.especially Clovis!
そして、夕食はともこさんのご招待でサヨナラディナーを地元のカフェにて。

カフェ内ではカントリーミュージックバンドの人の生演奏に合わせてダンス!このカフェの食材はとってもいいものを使っています。なるべくオーガニックのもの、そして地元のものを使っています!
Then Tomoko also invited us for good-bye dinner. We went to Local cafe 'the Driftless cafe' They had a Folk music band and many people were dancing!
The Dliftless cafe has a lot of nice food. They use organic local ingredients as much as possible, even the owners grow most of the veggies in their own garden!

ともこさん、本当に私たちの町に来てくださってありがとうございました。ともこさんが帰ってしまうのは本当にさみしいですが、ともこさんから頂いたパワーと、たくさんの思い出をこれからも大切にして、頑張ります!また、いつか遊びに来てくださいね!!!
Thank you so much Tomoko, We will miss you very much....... but you gave us a lot of power and we will never forget the precious memories we made together!!
Please come back someday!!!!!
