Please also tell her that when the temperatures are not too chilly I bicycle the grocery run, an 18 mile round trip, on a 15 year old bicycle that refurbished, with a used bike trailer that I refurbished, and using an old cooler that I've had since I was a teenager.
I also take my Little Brother to attend farming-related classes at the facility belonging to one of the major contributors to the coop as a way to introduce him to healthier food and to get him interested in where his food comes from.
I already have this year's garden planned and want to experiment with seedlings this Spring. I also want to learn how to can this year now that I know I can produce more food than we can use before the snows come.

Good job on crop sharing. The word in VT is to always grow an extra row or two for sharing. Check your PM
