Aiko & Iyo stayed at Small family CSA. (Organic Vegetable farm) The family members where a young couple Jillian and Adam and Jillian's Mom Jane! Their farm is on a ridge so nothing obstructs their view! It is absolutely beautiful! Plus millions of stars in the sky at night! They work until it gets dark in the fields during the Summer. (sometimes around 9:30 pm!!)

今回はCSAメンバー達をファームによんでファームツアーと交流会!上の写真は彼らが挑戦する良質の土を作りだすコンポースト(堆肥)のさらなる開拓。彼 らいわく、木の根っこはどの植物よりも奥深い土の中に達し、大きな体を支えるために根っこへの大地からミネラルや栄養素の吸収率が高いに違いないと考え、 堆肥作りには木の根っこ等もまぜて見ようというわけでした。こうしていろんな事に挑戦しているファーマー達。がんばって安全な食を提供し続けてほしいで す!
Farming is not that easy but if you see these people farming, you will be so jealous of them. They love farming and enjoying it from inside. They wear Jeans, keep their ipod in their pocket and hang out with their Vegetables. This time, Aiko & Iyo joined them and shared the moment!! They said farming is so cool and farmers are amazing! Good job Aiko and Iyo!! That I really wanted you to feel!!
They had a farm tour and party with CSA members the other day. In the photo that you see above, they are trying to make good soil with wood chips from trees. Trees pull up all the old deep nutrients through their roots cause they run deeper than any other plants. trees also have to hold up their huge sizes. trees also pull up lots of mineral in them. So they mixed the wood chips into compost pile. It always amazes me that organic farmers always try so many different ways for farming and working with nature!!


Aiko and Iyo look like local farmers!! Every Saturday we have a farmer's market in Viroqua. This is such a special farmer's market. You will see even Amish. They come here by their buggy and sell their homemade baskets, quilts, vegetables and so on! (May through October) Lots of organic farmer's and local artists as well!
